Try this Bear Grylls

 

The Koala now known in the koala world as “Bear Grills” for his survival instinct after colliding with a  car moving at a 100 km/hr

The driver of the car, Loren Davis, said she hit the koala while travelling on the South Eastern freeway, about 10km from her home in Mount Barker, South Australia. She had been banked in by other cars and was unable to avoid the animal. “I drove home, feeling upset that I’d killed a koala,” she said. Once she got home and pulled into the garage she turned on the light to see the damage and was startled to see the koala in the front grill of her car. After being checked by the vet it was given the all clear and released back into the wild.
