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).

"When he started doing it we thought it was the cutest thing ever and we could see that Rufus was very different to the others and how much he loved the couch and how safe he felt there," says Kim. "He goes into the deepest sleep as he knows he is very safe there and doesn't mind watching a bit of TV."
