Sep 21 - A rare white koala which has been likened to a polar bear cub is taken to a vet to protect him from poachers.
A white koala that has been nicknamed Mick was found by police officers in bushland in eastern Australia, local media reported.
The police noticed that the koala was unwell and took him to a koala hospital in Port Macquarie for treatment.
Mick may have white fur and pink eyelids but doctors at the hospital said that he is not an albino.
The exact location of the rare koala's home has not been disclosed in order to keep him safe from poachers.
