SYDNEY - Taylor, a 4-year-old English springer spaniel, has been among the hard working rescuers during Australia’s bushfire crisis.
When told: “Koala, Find!”, Taylor ventures out into burnt-out bushland, finding injured marsupials by sniffing out the scent of their fur or their faeces, also known as scat. Each time she finds a koala, she is rewarded with a tennis ball or culinary treat.Australia’s koala population has also been severely affected. In New South Wales state alone, officials estimate 30% of koala habitat - eucalpyt woodlands, which they use for both food and shelter - may have been lost.
Taylor, meanwhile, has been focused on finding injured koalas since she was just a few months old and is now an expert. The koalas’ heavy fur and tendency to climb higher when threatened are severe disadvantages in fast-moving bushfires.
