Like the late rock star she's named after (https://theconversation.com/the-remarkable-story-behind-david-bowies-most-iconic-feature-52920), "Bowie" the koala has an unmistakable mystique.
Bowie was recently admitted to the*Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, after the koala was picked up by the zoo's rescue unit last month. It was found injured after it had presumably been hit by a car.

Cleared of major injuries, it was Bowie's mismatched eyes that has attracted curiosity. She has a brown eye on the left, while her right eye is a bright blue, all due to*a rare genetic condition called heterochromia.*
