【澳洲山火】野生動物失棲息地 小狗搖尾樂意 跟樹熊共享水缸喝水
2020-01-16
澳洲山火令無數野生動物失去棲息地，即使牠們能逃出生天，亦面臨缺乏食物和食水等問題。近日有人於澳洲南部阿得雷德山附近，拍攝到一場動物之間守望相助的畫面。
樹熊是今次大火受影響動物之一，由於無家可歸，牠們只好到附近民居搜羅食物及水。澳洲網民 Andrew Frost 早前亦因此遇見一隻樹熊，正抱緊水缸喝水。雖然旁邊小狗正慢慢接近，樹熊沒感到害怕，繼續喝水。
小狗對於這個不速之客並沒有抗拒，反而加入一起到水缸喝水。期間牠們更四目交投、鼻子貼鼻子的問好，場面相當窩心感人。
Andrew 攝下場面且分享表示，小狗是鄰居所養，叫Rusty。因為樹熊經常在附近出現，所以 Rusty 的主人會放些樹葉給牠吃。然而這次樹熊並非第一次到訪，所以Rusty 跟牠可算是「好朋友」，完全不介意跟牠分享水缸的水。Andrew 提及，由於大火關係令當地氣溫上升不少，樹熊連續2天也過來喝水。
Neighbours Kevin and family have a resident Koala that comes down for a drink when it is really hot. Riley Stone and Olivia Stone have a dog, Rusty, who knows the Koala well and they are mates (buddies for you in the US) – here they are hanging out filmed by Danielle Stone . (Yes the country is on fire, climate change is real and many politicians are in denial but nice to post something smiley). We can pray for more enlightened leadership in the future!
