"This little guy called 'Slurpy' was so thirsty he emptied my entire bottle."
Koalas normally hydrate themselves by eating gum leaves, which usually provide adequate moisture.

For the marsupials, the heat drying out these leaves means they resort to drinking water. One project is looking to install water fountains called "Blinky Drinkers" for koalas in parts of New South Wales.
As climate change pushes up temperatures around the globe, it's fair to say you'll see an act like this more often.
