Koala Mum Rescues Cub Stuck on Fence

A heroic koala mum rescued her joey from a wire fence on Monday, September 26, after it became stuck while trying to follow her. The young koala was spotted wailing as it navigated the tricky task on a street in Burnside, South Australia, before its mother wandered over to lend a helping hand.

The adorable clip was captured by Nick of The Farm Barn in Adelaide, who considered rescuing the cub himself before realising help was on the way.

In a video shared by more than 20,000 Facebook users, the pair were last seen wandering off with the baby firmly attached to mum’s back. Credit: Facebook/The Farm Barn
