Baby Imogen turns 1 year old this weekend, and this little cutie celebrated her big birthday by getting one very fancy gift!
The itty bitty koala was lavished with a photoshoot complete with a soft bed, a plush toy, and some eucalyptus leaves. And she definitely seems to be one very happy koala in her home at the Symbio Wildlife Park!
The wildlife sanctuary organized the photoshoot two months prior to Imogen's first birthday, and the video of her posing for the shoot has been released just before this weekend's celebrations.
Imogen first appeared in the news as a joey when she was brought to her new home in a different part of the Symbio Wildlife Park. There, she climbed up the legs of the cameraman covering her story. The anxious baby just wanted to snuggle!
When Imogen was born, the mother of an even smaller koala named Harry passed away from leukemia. So experts made the difficult decision to put Harry in Imogen's mother's pouch instead. Since then, the very photogenic koala has been hand-raised by two caretakers at the sanctuary, and they say that she has become like family!
We find this baby's story so fascinating — her caretakers are so lucky they get to cuddle with this adorable creature!
