Lucky Baby Koala Survives After Escaping Eagle's Talons Mid-Air

  • 8 years ago
A koala named 'Baby Bob' was snatched by an eagle, but managed to break free and survive after medical attention.

Eagles can be callously indifferent to the human preference for cute marsupials.

Back in November, a koala named 'Baby Bob' was just eight-months-old when a wedge-tailed eagle intended to make a meal out of him. 

Successfully writhing out of the predator's talons, Bob fell to the ground. 

Luckily, two pedestrians on a morning walk saw the furry creature that fell from the sky and rushed him to The University of Queensland Small Animal Hospital at the School of Veterinary Science.
