(UPI) Wildlife rescuers in Australia shared video of a koala being rescued from atop a power pole, where it had been stranded for two days.
The World Wildlife Fund -- Australia shared video online showing a cherry picker being used to rescue a koala stranded at the top of a power pole.
The rescuers said the marsupial had been stranded without food, water or shade at the top of the pole amid a heatwave in Darling Downs, Queensland.
The WWF said excessive tree clearing in the area is responsible for pushing koalas and other wildlife into developed areas.
