The New South Wales government in Australia is dropping thousands of pounds of carrots and sweet potatoes from the air over areas affected by the brushfires.

• The idea is that animal affected by the blazes — and survived them — will have little vegetation to each since it’s likely to have been burnt.
• However, then can hopefully survive on some of the produced being dropped from the sky.
• All told about 2,000 lbs. of produce has been dropped so far.
• Photos of some wildlife enjoying the produce have also been circulating on social media.
