Kangaroo hugs student like a person

  • 8 years ago
An amazing and heartwarming video of a white kangaroo hugging a woman in Western Australia.

The footage, filmed at Caversham Wildlife Park on February 28, shows the smaller-than-usual marsupial hugging an American student called Nicole in a particularly human way.

Some of other students ended up having to pull the kangaroo off Nicole because it wouldn't let go, but one of them had the foresight to film the cute encounter.

The filmer later wrote online: "This was the first time we had ever seen kangaroos before, and this was an amazing experience and a great memory to share to our families and friends back home.

"I always joked about Nicole meeting a cute Australian, and it looks like she got her wish."
