CNN —Koalas are normally found in eucalyptus trees, but one couple came home in Australia on Wednesday and were shocked to find one in their bedroom.
“I was scared, happy and excited at the same time,” Fran Dias Rufino told CNN from Adelaide in South Australia.
Francielle Dias RufinoVideo showed the koala sitting on the floor beside their bed, staring at Rufino and her husband, Brunno, before climbing onto a bedside table.
In South Australia, where the Rufinos live, koala numbers are stable, and in some areas, populations are so healthy they’re being managed to protect the habitat.
Video showed the koala scurrying around the house, presumably looking for a way out, as Rufino screamed frantically in the background.
