Koala goes for 10 mile joy ride

Luckiest Koala in Australia:
There’s at least one animal from Australia that won’t poison you or bite you in half and it is as durable as it is cuddly. This koala, a lactating mother, rode in this car’s wheel well for 10 miles. It must have been very stressful. 
The unidentified driver of the car didn’t notice anything until he started hearing“crying,” which is when he stopped and discovered the animal. He also called for help. Firefighters showed up and took a wheel off in the course of the rescue.


Well done to our keen eared hero, who pulled over.  The Koala has been released back into the wild.

I'll bet Mama Koala didn't think it was such a "joy" ride.
Just out of curiosity, are koalas good eatin'? (Since all they eat is eucalyptus, they probably have sweet-smelling breath. I wonder if the sweetness permeates the meat.)

Koalas are aggressive and territorial. They have sharp claws and teeth and are about as cuddly as an Orc.

But I'll bet they have sweet-smelling breath.
