Lucky grills
by Claudia Sonea
Even two years after his death Steve Irwin still brings his name on our lips and reminds us the greateness of his efforts for the preservation and rescue of the wildlife. He brought the wildlife in our houses and rendered us aware of the animals, the nature and how wonderful everything is. He left behind the Steve Irwin Conservation Foundation (renamed Wildlife Warriors), the International Crocodile Rescue, the Lyn Irwin Memorial Fund and the one that made us pronounce his name again is Australian Wildlife Hospital.
The Australian Wildlife Hospital had a special patient that received the nickname “Lucky”. I am talking about the koala that was involved in a terrible accident and managed to survive it with only minor bruises. It was a miracle some say and the truth is that the eight-year-old koala was very lucky, otherwise how would have he succeeded to survive after being hit by a car driving at 100 kilometers per hour? Moreover, he was even dragged for 12 kilometers with his head stuck in the vehicle’s grill and hanging on with only one hand.
The driver, a motorist of Brisbane, didn’t even notice that he hit the koala and luckily for the small male koala another car passes and signaled for the driver to stop. It is not enough to call it Australia's luckiest marsupial, but rather the luckiest animal alive. Australian Wildlife Hospital spokeswoman Carolyn Beaton stated that the driver was horrified by the incident and gave his permission for them to cur the car’s mesh grill and free the koala. She added that it was a miracle for “Lucky” to survive the accident, recover immediately after a couple of hours. Nonetheless he will have to stay in hospital for 45 days to recover after everything and also for his chlamydial infection to be treated.
It is not enough to call the koala the Australia’s luckiest marsupial, but rather the luckiest animal alive. He deserves his nickname completely. Get well fast, little buddy; we all wish you the best.
