A New South Wales rescue and rehabilitation service that focuses on the care of koalas shared footage on November 1 of one of their residents returning to the wild after it had recovered from being “hit by a car for the second time”.

Just north of Sydney, Port Stephens Koala Hospital provides a wildlife shelter for marsupials in need.

In this case, Jacko the koala had been severely unlucky, twice getting hit by a car, according to the hospital. Luckily, he only suffered “superficial nose damage”.

According to a Facebook post about his release, Jacko was in the care of Port Stephens Koala Hospital for four months in total.

The hospital said Jacko had been “released to a much safer environment”.

The shelter shares regular updates on the progress of the koalas in their care via its YouTube and Facebook pages. Credit: Port Stephens Koala Hospital via Storyful
