The animal named Bowie has different colored eyes - one is brown while the other one is blue.
The koala was rescued from a roadside last month and fortunately, did not suffer any serious injuries.
According to a Facebook post by the Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors, "...apart from some reduced pigmentation in her right eye, Bowie had perfect vision! The difference in Bowie’s eye colour is called heterochromia which is a rare gene Bowie inherited from her parents."
Bowie is expected to be set free into the wild after brief treatment, notes The Guardian.
