The 17-year-old was charged on Friday after allegedly stealing 15-year-old koala Orana from the Bibra Lake theme park on Saturday, January 16, before releasing her nearby.
The koalaâs disappearance sparked a massive search effort in the Bibra Lake bushland the next day, with concerns the elderly marsupial wouldnât survive long without her medication.
