A koala has been rescued and released back into the wild after it was seen on a bus in the Australian city of Brisbane.

Footage filmed by Koala Rescue Brisbane South showed the marsupial, named Peri, hanging onto a pole inside the vehicle on Sunday.

The organization said the animal had been spotted earlier, dodging traffic on a nearby road before it climbed onto an outdoor light pole.

A bus driver then retrieved the animal, moved it onto the bus, and called Koala Rescue Brisbane South.

Wildlife staff from the organisation then released the native animal into a nearby nature reserve on the following day.
