Two koalas are rescued from a construction site at Morayfield after being found trapped in a deep mud hole, and both are expected to need weeks to recover. Reports say workers discover the animals after noticing the muddy conditions on site and then locate them in a 1.5-metre-deep hole. The koalas are described as being in serious condition when they are recovered, with heavy sludge covering their bodies. Both outlets state that the animals require extended care following the rescue, indicating that the injuries and effects of being stuck in the mud may be significant. The accounts also describe the moment workers find the koalas as surprising, with the animals appearing deeply embedded in the ground. After rescue, the koalas move into rehabilitation, with their recovery timeline estimated to last for several weeks. While details on the exact injuries are not provided across the reports, the consistent description is that the koalas suffer from their time in the mud and need ongoing treatment.
