The Australian bushfires earlier this year devastated Australia and shocked the world.

It looked apocalyptic and devastated Australia's wildlife.

Animals like Koalas were sadly caught up in the fires and harmed by the fires.

At the time of the Australian bushfires, it was believed that 1 billion animals died in the fires. However, it now looks like the total of animal deaths was much higher than that.

It is now believed that there were 3x as many animals caught up in the Australian bushfires than originally thought. The WWF has reported that nearly 3 billion wild animals were impacted by the Australian bushfires between 2019 to 2020. The animals that were impacted included many different species of wild animals, this includes mammals, reptiles birds, and frogs.
