True Love! Meet Abigail the kangaroo who has spent the last 15 years constantly hugging the wildlife workers who saved her life when she was a joey
An adorable kangaroo named Abigail has been gratefully hugging the wildlife workers who rescued her every day for the last 15 years.
The 15-year-old kangaroo was rescued when she was just a joey and has since been living at the Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs, in the Northern Territory.
Dubbed ‘Queen Abi’ by her carers, the animal has become a celebrity within the park due to her incredibly affectionate nature.
Countless photos and videos show the kangaroo wrapping her arms around workers and guests at the sanctuary and nuzzling her head into their faces.

The team first found Abi as an orphaned five-month-old and have watched her grow to become one of the oldest kangaroos at the sanctuary.
She’s since given birth to a few joeys of her own.
While kangaroos can be known to become aggressive with humans and each other, ‘Queen Abi’ is what the park describes as one of the most affectionate they’ve ever seen.
‘Happiness is in a Abi hug,’ the wildlife team said.
