【War Archives】

Koalas aren't usually the most ecstatic-looking creatures,War Archives but when they're soaked, they look absolutely miserable -- albeit adorably so.

Fortunately, the koala is now safe -- found snoozing in a tree by Latter on Thursday. "Not so wet any more," he told the newspaper. The poor little thing.
