SYDNEY, Australia - Austrialian media say a koala has survived being struck by a car and dragged for about 12 kilometres with its head and arm wedged through the vehicle's front grill.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation says the three-year-old male koala was not badly hurt. Staff at the Australian Wildlife Hospital in Queensland state told ABC they have dubbed the koala "Lucky Grills."
Hospital manager Gail Gipp says Lucky was limp and unresponsive when he was brought to the animal hospital, but after "a bit of TLC" and some painkillers, he was up and around and eating food.
SINC SAYS:
Koalas just have to be the cutest little things on the planet.
