A heartwarming video has emerged of a baby kangaroo taking a nap inside a man's hoodie after being rescued.
The footage, captured on June 9 in Queensland, Australia, shows the man cradling the animal whilst it rests calmly inside his sweater.
''We were moving cattle from one paddock to another when a cow spotted a Roo trapped in a fence. It's legs were broken due to it struggling to get free,'' the filmer later wrote online.
''When we approached a Joey popped out from the mothers pouch and clung straight onto my girlfriends ankle.''
''My girlfriend took the Joey back to the farmhouse, i stayed and spent 30 minutes trying to get the roo free, eventually i did however it was going nowhere, long story short it didn't make it.''
''We looked after the Joey for a few days before taking him into town to a vet where they took him in,'' he added.
