This baby Koala just loves cuddling

Ellie, the Koala Joey, just loves giving her mother cuddles any chance she gets. The love the two have for each other so adorable and shows you don’t need to be human to have endless love. Koala joeys are born the size of a Jelly bean and make their way to their mothers pouch by wriggling. Once there they will attached themselves to a teat, and suckle until big and strong enough to start emerging from their mothers pouch at around 6 months of age. During these later months the mother will feed their joey a substance called pap. Pap helps joeys develop the enzines and tolerance for Eucalyptus leaves. Ellie is now 9 months old so is too big to fit inside the pouch, but that surely doesn’t stop her from smothering her mother in cuddles.
