Jeremy became an online sensation after his rescue
One of the koala bears injured in the Sampson Flat bushfire in South Australia has been released back into the wild.
Young koala bear Jeremy suffered second-degree partial thickness burns on all four of his paws. He was rescued and treated by the Australian Marine Wildlife Research and Rescue Organisation (AMWRRO).
Nearly a month ago, Jeremy was the first victim of the Sampson Flat bushfires to be treated by the AMWRRO Wildlife Clinic. He soon became an internet sensation, with the charity's posts about him attracting around 2 million viewers.
After making a good recovery, Jeremy was released on January 29 close to where he was originally found.
Nearly a dozen koalas injured in the bushfires remain in the care of AMWRRO.
