HE’S been christened Kenny but “Bear Grills” might be a more apt name for a Gold Coast koala that survived being hit by a car travelling at 100kmh on the M1.
Like British adventurer and TV star Bear Grylls, the koala is an action type – it escaped with only minor injuries after being lodged in the car grill for a 3km journey down the motorway.
Kenny’s survival has amazed Currumbin Sanctuary Wildlife Hospital staff and Mark and Caroline Harris, who hit the koala in their Suzuki Swift on Tuesday night. They were driving from their Eagleby home, near Beenleigh, to the Gold Coast when they hit what they thought was a cat outside Coomera.
Unable to stop on the highway, they pulled off at the next exit to discover a somewhat cranky Kenny stuck firmly to the front of their car.
”When we realised it was alive, we just went ‘oh wow’,” an emotional Mr Harris said. “We felt so blessed. We just said ‘please God, let it live’.”
Mr Harris said it took two police officers about 25 minutes to free the koala, which was trapped by a piece of plastic grill stuck into its neck. The couple took Kenny to a local vet. He was then transported to the Currumbin Sanctuary Wildlife Hospital for specialist treatment.
“It’s a small miracle – he only has superficial injuries,” senior vet Dr Michael Pyne said. “Most koalas don’t survive being hit by cars so to see one that has survived being hit at 100kmh is quite amazing. Kenny would be buying a lottery ticket if he could.”
Dr Pyne said the wildlife hospital took in about 150 koalas a year, most of them victims of car strikes and dog attacks.
“We’ve had 70 admitted in the last 70 days,” he said.
