A common sight in the bushland, the group stopped to help guide the koala away from traffic. But what happened next took the group by surprise.
这是丛林中常见的景象，他们停下来帮助引导考拉远离交通。但接下来发生的事让这群人大吃一惊。
Instead of running away, the koala crawled up to Heusler and onto her bike. She poured water from her bottle as it gripped her left hand and hung sipping for quite some time.
考拉没有逃跑，而是爬到赫斯勒身边，爬上了她的自行车。它抓着她的左手把瓶子里的水倒出来，它喝了好一会儿。
"We’ve seen literally hundreds of koalas over the years, we have never seen a koala do this," Heusler told 7news.
“这些年来，我们真的看到了数百只考拉，我们从来没有见过考拉这样做，”赫斯勒告诉7news。
She captured photos and video of the remarkable moment, and uploaded them to Instagram. The posts quickly went viral, not only because of the koala's odd actions, but because temperatures across Australia have hit scorching levels.
她拍下了这一非凡时刻的照片和视频，并上传到Instagram上。这些帖子迅速传播开来，不仅是因为考拉的古怪行为，还因为澳大利亚各地的气温已经达到了灼热的水平。
Several heat records reached breaking levels across the country in December. On Dec. 18, the average maximum temperature around the country hit 107.4 degrees Fahrenheit, with some cities experiencing temperatures over 120 degrees F.
去年12月，美国各地的几项高温纪录都达到了破纪录的水平。12月18日，全国平均最高温度达到107.4华氏度，一些城市的温度超过了120华氏度。
In addition, Australian firefighters have been battling more than 100 fires over the past three months due to the soaring temperatures and dry weather.
此外，由于气温飙升和天气干燥，澳大利亚消防队员在过去三个月里与100多起火灾搏斗。
Luckily, this koala escaped any injuries from the fires. Though, one might suspect its odd actions may stem from the heat and its capability to stay hydrated in such harsh conditions.
幸运的是，这只考拉没有在火灾中受伤。尽管如此，人们可能会怀疑它的奇怪行为可能源于高温和它在如此恶劣的条件下保持水分的能力。
Heusler and the group of bikers safely escorted the koala to safe tree limbs a short distance away. While the circumstances of this interaction may be sad, it is truly one Heusler will never forget.
赫斯勒和那群骑自行车的人把考拉安全地护送到不远处安全的树枝上。虽然这种互动的环境可能令人悲伤，但这确实是赫斯勒永远不会忘记的。
