On Sunday night, the police found a baby koala in a bag in the town of Wishart in Queensland, Australia, during a traffic stop. Queensland police spokesperson Michael Beatty said that the officers asked a 50-year-old driver if she had anything to report. She then told the officers that she had a baby koala in her bag.

"Not quite believing their ears, the officers cautiously opened the bag and found this lovely boy and we've called him Alfred," the spokesperson said. "The young koala is about 6 months old and weighs 1.5 kg. It appears to be healthy, though it was very thirsty."

The police are warning people who find koalas to turn them over to authorities, rather than try to take care of them themselves. Koalas are protected in parts of Australia, including in Queensland, where they have been listed as "threatened" under the Nature Conservation Act.

Of course, koalas are also violent animals. One particularly wild koala even attacked a farmer in South Australia when she was riding along a muddy road.

"As it started running towards me, I thought I'd better speed up," the terrified farmer told reporters. "But the road was too muddy, So I abandoned my bike and ran away. Fortunately, it ran up and attached itself to the dirty wheel—perhaps mistaking it for a eucalyptus tree."

Deakin University biologist Desley. Whisson has some tips in case you experience this    predicament. "Koalas more generally run from than to people. The farmer did the right thing by moving away from her bike," she said. "The best advice I can give to people is to not fight with a koala displaying unusual behaviour. Make sure that there is another object between you and the koala so that it can't climb you. Or you can just simply run. Their fingers are very sharp."

She also believed the koala might have been confusing the sound of the bike with that of a koala mate.

I was a bad boy in a village in India. At least I was labeled that way because I had no interest in school or studies. I used bad language, hung around with other "bad" boys, skipped school and ran through the fields. No one thought I would do anything worthwhile with my life. And I'd heard many people in our village talking. "Why bother going to school? These kids end up back on the farms anyway. He'll never amount to anything." My parents and teachers were disappointed with my average marks.

My mother envisioned a different future and knew the value of education to create a better life. By the time I entered the 12th grade, I had taken a good look at myself and realized the life I was creating. The bad boy image troubled me. I didn't believe I was a bad boy. I didn't want to be a bad boy. These realizations forced me to acknowledge that my mother was right—education was my only way out. I worked hard to finish my high school, and then I decided to apply for higher education in university. But this village bad boy faced too many challenges.

Firstly, my family had very limited money. In addition to that, my grades were not good. There was very little chance I'd gain admission to a university. Still, I took a chance and applied. The last day of admissions, I visited the university to check my result. I looked down the list, and there it was, "Parashram J. Patil". Finally, I'd been admitted. Now, it was the last day to pay, so I had to find money to cover my fees.
