Koalas are not only extremely cute animals, but also very affectionate creatures. They’re able to express love in ways that still surprise us, like this baby who hugged his mom throughout her life-saving surgery, and this affectionate little guy who wasn’t afraid to approach a friendly lady.
But the one in this particular clip is extremely excited to see a human.
Imogen is a baby koala being introduced to her new home in Australia's Symbio Wildlife Park. She was hand-raised after her mother passed away from leukemia.
In this video, she’s exploring her surroundings. Watch just how excited she is! She runs around and scampers up a tree.
When she comes down from the tree, she momentarily sits still and observes the cameraman. Then, without warning, she charges towards him with surprising speed.
She sits at his feet before doing the unexpected…and while everything she's done up until this point is endearing, nothing is as cute as what she does next!
There are many ways to demand cuddles, but we think this baby’s way is very effective. We’re just a little jealous of the cameraman! If you want to know more about Imogen’s journey, watch this video by the Symbio Wildlife Park.
