 　　AFP: Timberwolf the koala was lucky to be alive Monday after surviving a terrifying 88-kilometre (54.5-mile) ride down a busy Australian freeway clinging1 to the bottom of a car.

　　澳洲考拉
　　The four-year-old male, who survived with nothing more than a torn nail, was struck by the vehicle near Maryborough in Queensland state on Friday.
　　The Australia Zoo wildlife hospital said it latched2 onto the bottom of the car as it sped away, with the family inside not knowing they had a marsupial3 on board.
　　It was only when they stopped in Gympie after a high-speed freeway drive that they noticed it, and called the hospital for help. The maximum speed on the freeway is 110 kilometres per hour.
