As I understood it, many of the koalas she had were either found injured or
were displaced when land was cleared for new construction.
Most of the animals she got were returned to the wild. There was just a small
number of them that she kept permanently due to their injuries or that they
were too socialized to turn loose and survive.
They didn't smell all that great either.
