UNSCRATCHED : After a long ride in the grill of a car.

They call this koala bear "Lucky". The three-yearold male koala was struck by a car and carried for seven miles with his head and arm wedged through the vehicle's front grill, but was not badly hurt. Staff members at the Australian Wildlife Hospital in Queensland state dubbed him Ely "Lucky" Grills. He was very flat and unresponsive for a couple of hours, but after some feed and fluids, and lot of care, he was fine. He would have had a headache, but soon he was up and eating and doing really well.
