This Rescue Kangaroo Loves To Chill On The Couch With His Dad So Much That He Made It A Part Of His Daily Routine

When you think of kangaroos, your mind doesn't immediately picture them lounging on a couch. Kangaroos are wild animals who love the outdoors.

That's what we believed until we came across this very unique kangaroo who loves being a couch potato just as much, if not more, as humans do. His name is Rufus and it's his couch, thank you very much.

Rufus lives in Australia and was rescued when he was just an eight-month old joey. Now at 4 years old, the kangaroo's unique personality shines through.

The kind people who took in the abandoned joey are Kym and Neil Haywood. The couple runs the Pumpkin Patch Kangaroo Sanctuary located in Port Lincoln, South Australia.

They noticed in the early days of adopting Rufus, that the young kangaroo is different from the other kangaroos they fostered before. He loves the companionship and friendship of humans.

It didn't take long before Rufus discovered the joy of napping on a very comfortable couch. Kym shared that the moment Rufus learned he could jump onto the couch, he took every opportunity to chill on it.

He would lie down with his head dangling off to the side and snooze for as long as he wants. The other kangaroos the couple have rescued, fully live outside of the sanctuary but Rufus is a special case.

The quirky kangaroo couldn't fully adapt to living in the wild, so Kym and Neil gave Rufus a dog bed outside for him to watch the other kangaroos being, well, kangaroos. Then, 5:30PM each day, Rufus will wait outside of the back door to be let in.

The moment the door opens, the kangaroo happily jumps on his favorite couch and sneaks in a few hours of much needed sleep. From time to time, he invites Neil to rest with him.
