Search dogs for koalas

The Australian bushfire has shaken the world’s mood, and so has the coronavirus epidemic. A lot of wild animals were injured or killed by the fire.

Volunteers, animal rights activists and firefighters set out to quell the fire and rescue the injured animals. But it wasn’t just bipeds that took part in the search for slow-moving koalas. Specially trained search dogs also took part in the search. Search dogs at one local university were able to visit nearly a hundred koalas and save them. These dogs were originally trained to locate animals for research purposes, but they also played an important role in bushfire. Searching in difficult terrain has also proven to be a good practice opportunity for search dogs.

A huge area would have to be searched, so a drone with a thermal camera will be sent out first, and then the dogs will come after the primary mapping.
