"They all seem to gravitate towards her,” says her mum, Ali."They’re wild animals, they’re terrified. They need that calming, gentle, quiet, loving presence.” "Do you need cuddles this morning?” she will ask one in her care. She's also learned some tricks to discover how they're feeling."You can learn a lot from looking at their poop.”

Izzy's bond with animals began early. Five weeks after being born, she was in mom's clinic."She grew up with whatever come through the door. Seeing the connection between people and their animals was always something that she was very aware of,” her mum says. The show, which adds small sound effects and animated hearts and stars to show how the koalas are feeling, is co-produced by digital media brand The Dodo, which featured Izzy in a segment of its"Izzy is this Doc McStuffins come alive character who cares with every ounce of her body about koalas,” says Dave Glauber, the creative lead for Dodo Kids."She will give medicine to a koala and she’ll also calm them down when they’re feeling scared.
