Incredible footage: Animals rejoiced at the long-awaited rain (15 photos + 1 video)

After months of extreme heat and drought, the long-awaited and much-needed rain has finally arrived. A delightful moment for people and wild animals.

Australia continues to arrive in not the best condition. The recent rain turned into a flood in some places, powerful hail fell from the sky, and the fires have not yet receded. Therefore, all of us and the Australians themselves need videos like the one filmed in the Symbio Wildlife Park, Helensburgh, located just south of Sydney.

In the video, kangaroos, koalas and wombats do everything that these guys usually do all year round. But in the context of the situation in the country, these shots are like a balm for the soul of the whole world.

"Australian animals celebrate the arrival of rain"

“The long wait for rain is finally over and our animals are very happy about it after such a harsh and dry summer.”

Workers at the Symbio Wildlife Park in southeastern Australia captured a video of happy pets and posted it on their Facebook.
