Heat Wave

It is so unbearably hot at the moment with catastrophic fire danger in South Australia. We are not alone in feeling this heat. All the animals we saw today that were not fairing the heat at all. One possum we found a young one dead in our yard and another severely dehydrated young male. We have scooped him up given him sugar dissolved in water through an eye dropper hoping he will recover. He seems to have perked up a little fingers crossed the little fellow makes it.
