With the start of the dry season in the top end comes fires. There are fires everywhere. While on the whole the fires we have here are much much less severe than the ones they have down south wildlife will still get caught up in them and be injured. This is a little possum joey who lost him mum and burnt his feet trying to escape from the fire. Burns are nasty and can take a while to heal but his are fairly shallow so should heal. His fur is a little singed and he smells of burnt hair.
