Meet “Kodak” the Koala. ? There were about a dozen cyclists around me watching this and several commented that it was genuinely the best thing they’ve witnessed. What a truly wonderful experience.

El grupo no dudo en detenerse y el koala inmediatamente se acercó a ellos.

Una mujer de nombre Lulu, se apresuró a sacar su botella de agua para ofrecerle al pequeño animal, que entendió que lo ayudarían y trepó en la bicicleta para poder beber.
