“’Tis the season … for adorable animals perched inside Christmas trees. A juvenile koala became an internet sensation after an Australian family discovered her inside the house, tangled up in the branches and lights of a Christmas tree. Taylah McCormick said she and her family returned home Wednesday to find ornaments strewn about the living room in Coromandel Valley, a suburb of Adelaide, Australia. Upon further investigation, they spotted the koala nestled in the artificial tree. “It was pretty tangled up in the lights. It was a fake tree and very old, but she still tried eating the leaves off it,” Taylah, 16, told The Guardian. She added: “I saw her munch down on some, but she stopped when she realized it was plastic.” (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = ‘https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.2’; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’)); Taylah’s mother, Amanda McCormick, said the family had previously spotted koalas on the property but never inside the house. “It must have crawled in when the doors were open,” she said. “It would have been in our house for at least three hours.” The McCormicks contacted the Adelaide and Hills Koala Rescue, which arrived on the scene shortly. The koala was a female, between 3 和 4 years old and in good health, according to the rescue’s co-founder Dee Hearne-Hellon. Taylah named the koala Daphne and uploaded a short video of her family’s unexpected visitor to TikTok before she was removed. As of Thursday afternoon, the video had been viewed more than 730,000 times. @mcqueen1004 gotta love coming home and finding a koala in your christmas tree.. wtf ##australia ##koala ♬ stayin alive x poouussyy talk – DJ Lilli Daphne isn’t the only woodland creature enjoying time in the spotlight this holiday season. New York’s Rockefeller Center Christmas tree may have looked, well, slightly less than regal when it was first unveiled last month. But in a twist that can only be described as a much-needed dose of holiday magic, a tiny saw-whet owl was found trapped in the boughs of the 75-foot-tall Norway spruce, which was transported about 170 miles after being cut down. The owl ― nicknamed Rockefeller or “Rocky” ― was cleared to continue her migratory journey south after being sent to the Ravensbeard Wildlife Center in Saugerties, New York, for rehabilitation. Watch The Guardian’s report on Daphne’s rescue below.
