- It wanders inside before climbing onto two workers
A curious koala has stormed into a gas station and attacked an employee behind the counter.
The 11 lb (5.7 kg) female koala walked through the front doors of the Ampol petrol station in the Adelaide Hills this weekend.
CCTV footage shows the marsupial wandering past shelves of soft drinks and lollipops before ending up behind the counter.
The koala stunned the gas station attendant as she pushed her way to his leg.
“I don’t know how to get it off,” the worker yells.
The koala decided to jump off the worker’s leg and then spent nearly 40 minutes searching the shelves until Koala Rescue Inc arrived and released her into a forest about 500 yards away.
Volunteer wildlife rescuer Jemma Manfre said the koala sprinted into a tree after her release and didn’t look back until she was at the top.
