Rufus The Rescued Kangaroo Insists On Daily Couch Cuddles With Dad

Meet Rufus, a lazy rescue kangaroo who loves nothing more than lounging on the couch, watching TV and cuddling with his adopted dad. Kym Haywood runs the Patch Kangaroo Sanctuary in Boston, South Australia, and says that Rufus took an interested in the family couch the moment he was rescued as a 8 month old ‘joey’ (young kangaroo).

They even entice him with grapes to try and get him out, he accepts but flops back down into the sofa! In a bid to shift the large animal, they entice Rufus with grapes which he willingly accepts before flopping back down. She said: "We don't have to fight Rufus for space anymore – we just keep moving over as he grows. That spot on the couch is all his."
