Since September of last year, bushfires in Australia have destroyed millions of agricultural and natural land, which have also killed over 500 million animals.

From the day the fires erupted, heartbreaking images have been shared on social media, and they show the damages the blazes have brought to the country.

And in the most recent images that went on social media, it shows a badly burnt young kangaroo asking a teenager for water.

The images were reportedly taken in New South Wales, and it shows a teenage boy dousing the kangaroo with water and a bowl so it could drink from it.

The helpless animal can be seen exhausted in the images that were shared on social media.

The devastating bushfires in Australia have reportedly killed over 480 million mammals, reptiles, and birds, said ecologists from the University of Sydney.

Dr. Kellie Leigh, the executive director of Science for Wildlife, talked about the massive bushfires.

Dr. Kellie said, “We’re getting a lot of lessons out of this and it’s just showing how unprepared we are.”

Dr. Kellie added, “There’s no procedures or protocols in place – even wildlife carers don’t have protocols for when they can go in after fire.”

Kangaroos, Koalas, Wallabies, Possums, Echidnas, and Wombats are some of the most affected animals that have been affected by the massive bushfires.

The hardest-hit animal is the Koala population, with authorities thinking 30 percent of the Koala colony has been destroyed in the fires.

Mike Letnic, a Professor of conservation biology at theUniversity of Sydney, said the climate of Australia has played a huge role in spreading the massive bushfires.

Professor Mike said, “With the climate being so dry at the moment, and the intensity of these fires, wet gully areas and so on that normally escape the worst of it have been burnt.”

Professor Mike added, “Animals that typically survive in these patches that don’t burn can recolonize from these refuges, but there may be too few pathways to allow for effective recolonization. It will depend on how many refugees are left.”

To stop the fires from spreading more, the US is sending a crew of 20 firefighters, which are veterans, based in the city of California.

The firefighters will head to Australia to help battle the massive bushfires that are raging in Australia.

Canada will also send firefighters to Australia for the first time.

Stephen Tulle, the Duty Officer with the Canadian Interagency Forest Center, said around 36 firefighters will be helping the Australian firefighters.
