Sam (2005–2007 – 6 August 2009), also known as Sam the Koala, was a female koala from the forests of Mirboo North, Victoria, Australia.

Sam is then shown drinking from a bottle he is holding for her. She is also seen allowing herself to be patted, and holding her paw on his hand. Sam became a symbol of hope. It was initially thought that Sam had been rescued by Tree following the February 2009 Victorian bushfires; however, the event actually ...

Unsinkable Sam
Unsinkable Sam (also known as Oskar or Oscar) is, according to a probably exaggerated story, the nickname of a ship's cat who purportedly served during World War II with both the Kriegsmarine and the Royal Navy and survived the sinking of three ships. History The cat's original name is unknown. The name "Oscar" was given by the crew of the British destroyer HMS ''Cossack'' that rescued him from the sea following the sinking of the German battleship ''Bismarck''. "Oscar" was derived from the International Code of Signals for the letter 'O', which is code for " Man Overboard" (the German spelling, "Oskar", was sometimes used, since he was a German cat). ''Bismarck'' The black-and-white-patched cat was supposedly owned by an unknown crewman of the German battleship ''Bismarck'' and was on board the ship on 18 May 1941 when he set sail on Operation Rheinübung (German for Rhine Exercise), ''Bismarck''s only mission. ''Bismarck'' was sunk after a fierce naval battle o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
