If you were looking for something to restore your faith in humanity, then this definitely will.
To help out firefighters who've been tackling bushfires all over Australia, many of whom volunteers, the country's government recently took the unprecedented step to call up 3,000 reservists to help in firefighting and evacuation efforts. Just like the firefighters, many of these soldiers have been working long days for weeks on end.
While you may think that the soldiers would want to get some rest during any downtime they get, many have instead been volunteering at wildlife parks across the nation to help care for displaced animals.
Soldiers from the South Australian and Tasmanian 16 Regiment Emergency Support Force recently went viral after their unit's Facebook page shared photos of them cuddling and feeding koalas.
The Australian Army has also helped the country's wildlife by deploying army veterinarians to help out at shelters.
