"Cyrus, as he has been aptly named after one of the helpers on the scene, will be assessed by a vet following his ordeal," Wildlife Victoria said.
Australian comedian Julia Morris broke the news on Twitter, where photographs began circulating of the marsupial in the skincare aisle of the terminal's pharmacy.

Oh come on. This is Australia we're talking about, so it's obviously going to be an iconic species.
I'm guessing either a teeny yet deadly Box jellyfish; one of those bloody great spiders that hide in the dunny and bite you on the arse when you're taking your ease; or a Great White Shark.
