SAM the world's most famous koala

SAM the world's most famous koala came face to face with her Victoria fires saviour in gold yesterday, Country Fire Authority volunteer David Tree.
And along with achieving worldwide attention and even becoming adored on Facebook, Sam today managed something very rare - earning an apology from US gossip website TMZ.
In a post about Mr Tree giving his water bottle to the koala he found stumbling through burnt out bushland in the Victoria fires, TMZ.com wrote: “After battling some of the worst wildfires ever to hit Australia, a firefighter shared his bottled water with a pampered koala on Monday. Afterwards the new friends went to Pilates and dined on sushi.” Many readers hit out at the article, “Koala to Firefighter: I Won't Tap That!”, saying it was an unnecessary and insensitive shot at Victoria’s firefighters and the victims of the fire.
