Meet the kangaroo who will make you want to pack your bags and book the next flight to Australia.
Abigail – the kangaroo who loves to hug – is possibly the most affectionate animal you’ll ever set your eyes on.
It seems she insists on showing her love for her keepers every morning during feeding time, earning her the nickname “Queen Abi”.
“She can’t have the morning go by without coming up for a cuddle,” her keepers say. “It’s just who she is and how she stands out from the others is her affection towards us.”
When she arrived at the Kangaroo Sanctuary Alice Springs, Abi was just a five-month-old baby.
She was rescued as a baby orphan 10 years ago and raised by the caring staff at the sanctuary.
It appears the roo’s cuddling ritual has been going on for years…
