'So adorable': Baby kangaroo seeking snuggles melts hearts online

Social media users have fallen in love with an orphaned baby kangaroo named Terri who has been caught on camera desperately pleading to get into a man-made pouch for a snuggle.

The video, which was uploaded to The Kangaroo Sanctuary Alice Springs Facebook page, shows the tiny joey seemingly very excited and jumping up the leg of Chris 'Brolga' Barns.

Fortunately for the little roo the cloth pouch is lowered down and the animal leaps in.

At the end of the clip the loveable animal appears quite content having a cuddle with Chris 'Brolga' Barns.
