Two employees of Symbio Wildlife Park in Australia, are raising a baby koala themselves.

Imogi is a star koala bear who became famous after his birth video went viral. His biological mother is now taking care of another baby koala, Harry, who was younger than Imoji and had lost his mother.

The park officials, after much deliberation, decided to take Imoji out of his mother’s pouch and put Harry in it because he was weak and needed more care.

The video shows the couple taking care of him, feeding and snuggling him to give her the warmth of a pouch. According to the couple, Imoji has become a huge part of their lives.
