A koala who was hit by a car and crawled up a tree for safety before falling from it unconscious was saved by a firefighter in Melbourne, Australia, who gave him mouth to mouth resuscitation.
The koala, who the firefighters named Sean, was caught in a blanket by the quick-thinking crew who then began to nurse the little guy back to health.
"We believe it died in the tree, just when we were trying to rescue it. Then it fell out of the tree and the members caught it in a blanket," Mr Curtin told Fairfax Media.
"Wildlife Victoria performed mouth-to-mouth and compressions and gave it some oxygen therapy as well."
