口渴的考拉向南澳大利亞的騎手尋求幫助

While biking towards Adelaide in South Australia, cyclist Anna Heusler and her friends came across a curious koala in the middle of the road.

在南澳大利亞州的阿德萊德騎自行車時，騎自行車的安娜·赫斯勒和她的朋友們在路中間遇到了一只好奇的考拉。

A common sight in the bushland, the group stopped to help guide the koala away from traffic. But what happened next took the group by surprise.

這是叢林中常見的景象，他們停下來幫助引導(dǎo)考拉遠(yuǎn)離交通。但接下來發(fā)生的事讓這群人大吃一驚。

Instead of running away, the koala crawled up to Heusler and onto her bike. She poured water from her bottle as it gripped her left hand and hung sipping for quite some time.

考拉沒有逃跑，而是爬到赫斯勒身邊，爬上了她的自行車。它抓著她的左手把瓶子里的水倒出來，它喝了好一會兒。

"We’ve seen literally hundreds of koalas over the years, we have never seen a koala do this," Heusler told 7news.

“這些年來，我們真的看到了數(shù)百只考拉，我們從來沒有見過考拉這樣做，”赫斯勒告訴7news。

She captured photos and video of the remarkable moment, and uploaded them to Instagram. The posts quickly went viral, not only because of the koala's odd actions, but because temperatures across Australia have hit scorching levels.

她拍下了這一非凡時刻的照片和視頻，并上傳到Instagram上。這些帖子迅速傳播開來，不僅是因為考拉的古怪行為，還因為澳大利亞各地的氣溫已經(jīng)達(dá)到了灼熱的水平。

Several heat records reached breaking levels across the country in December. On Dec. 18, the average maximum temperature around the country hit 107.4 degrees Fahrenheit, with some cities experiencing temperatures over 120 degrees F.

去年12月，美國各地的幾項高溫紀(jì)錄都達(dá)到了破紀(jì)錄的水平。12月18日，全國平均最高溫度達(dá)到107.4華氏度，一些城市的溫度超過了120華氏度。

In addition, Australian firefighters have been battling more than 100 fires over the past three months due to the soaring temperatures and dry weather.

此外，由于氣溫飆升和天氣干燥，澳大利亞消防隊員在過去三個月里與100多起火災(zāi)搏斗。

Luckily, this koala escaped any injuries from the fires. Though, one might suspect its odd actions may stem from the heat and its capability to stay hydrated in such harsh conditions.

幸運(yùn)的是，這只考拉沒有在火災(zāi)中受傷。盡管如此，人們可能會懷疑它的奇怪行為可能源于高溫和它在如此惡劣的條件下保持水分的能力。

Heusler and the group of bikers safely escorted the koala to safe tree limbs a short distance away. While the circumstances of this interaction may be sad, it is truly one Heusler will never forget.

赫斯勒和那群騎自行車的人把考拉安全地護(hù)送到不遠(yuǎn)處安全的樹枝上。雖然這種互動的環(huán)境可能令人悲傷，但這確實是赫斯勒永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記的。
