This baby koala loves to cuddle.

Imogen, an eleven-month-old koala, has just moved into her new enclosure at the Symbio Wildlife Park in Sydney, Australia.

Either as a way to show her abounding excitement or as an adorable way to greet her guest, Imogen runs over to the cameraman and shimmies up his leg, snuggling up right under his left arm.

The staff warns him that it might be painful when she moves around, but he doesn’t seem to mind. And with that irresistibly cute face, who would?

Imogen’s adorable, but she’s also a lifesaver.

When she was just eight months old, another baby joey’s mother passed away from leukemia. Since the orphaned joey was too young and fragile to be without a parent, Imogen was removed from her mother’s pouch and raised by Kylie Elliot and Matt Radnidge of the wildlife park while the orphaned koala took her place. Thanks to Imogen, both koalas survived.

And now she’s found a new home inside the wildlife park, which she evidently loves.

We hope she has enough koala hugs for everybody!
