Bonus cute furry summer animal picture.

Another one from the bushfires in Victoria, from the same photo gallery as before:

I do think that the thing which makes this photo work so well is the hand/paw interaction. It's almost as if the fireman is going, "here, old man, let me help you."

But that said, it's also very poignant, because drop bears aren't usually that social, so something bad is definitely up. :/
