A koala named Bob (top), rescued from last week's deadly bushfires, puts his paw around new friend and fellow fire survivor Sam as she recovers from her burns at Southern Ash Wildlife Centre near Melbourne February 11, 2009.
Sam is comforted by Country Fire Authority volunteer fire fighter Dave Tree as he rescued her after deadly fires that swept through the area of Mirboo North, about 120km (75 miles) southeast of Melbourne, February 8, 2009.
Sam is given a drink of water by Dave Tree as he rescued her. Sam, a bewildered and badly burned koala, has emerged from the ashes of Australia's deadliest bushfires as a small beacon of hope after days of devastation and the loss of more than 180 lives.
Bob looks scared. I think he’s the one getting comfort from Sam.
