Like a lot of young people, 11-year-old Izzy Bee has a special bond with animals. Unlike a lot of young people, she shares it with one of the planet's most cuddly – koalas.

"It’s hard to explain,” she says from her home in Australia. "When I’m with them, it’s just sort like really calming. They sort of like understand me in a way.”
