Background:

Lucky is an eight-year old koala from Brisbane, Australia. He was hit by a car travelling 60 miles per hour and was dragged for about seven miles. Lucky held onto the car's grill with one arm and his head. After the car stopped, rescuers freed him with a pair of scissors.

Lucky was virtually unscathed. Lucky is scheduled to stay at the Australian Wildlife Hospital founded by Steve Irwin until August 28. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25681756/from/ET/
