Short and Sweet Video of a Baby Kangaroo Hugging Its Mom Is Brightening Timelines

If you need something to brighten up your mood, you won't be able to watch this video that @Unilad shared on Saturday, October 14th without smiling! The video shows a baby kangaroo (also called a joey) hugging its mom and it's the best thing you'll see today.

The video isn't very long, but it's just so sweet. We see the joey jump up to hug his mom, and mom hugs him back. He then smothers her with kisses and more hugs. I could watch this all day!

I literally could watch this all day on a loop! You can't help but watch it and just know that those two love each other so much. There's definitely a strong mother-child bond going on there!

People loved the video that @Unilad shared on Instagram. Commenters left close to 30 thousand comments about the sweet exchange between baby and mom. @chezonafe was adamant when he said, "Don’t tell me the animals don’t have feelings". @lorde_giselle pointed out, "This is so wholesome"! @mainimotivation added, "Like scenes from a Pixar animated movie"!

Many animals show that they care for their babies (which looks like love to us), but if you've ever seen an animal mama lose one of her babies, you know that they really do have a connection with their young. The reason these videos probably tug at our heartstrings is because it reminds those of us who are parents just how much we love our children and serves as a reminder about how much we love (and in some cases miss) our own parents.
