Here's the article from the AP:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/as_australia_wildfires_koala_rescue
Explains that "koalas rarely come down from trees and don't like walking."
They also don't drink water, as a rule, getting their moisture from the leaves they eat.
This poor gal had burnt paws and was taken away to a shelter.
