This zookeeper may just have the best job in the world – handing out daily belly rubs to Harry the koala.

When Tami Wilson, a zookeeper at Symbio Wildlife Park in Sydney, approaches the cute joey he climbs down from the trees of his sanctuary to greet her, before rolling onto his back for a belly rub.

Harry’s mother died of leukemia when he was four months old and zookeepers had to place him with a surrogate mother so he received the vital pap secretion that would allow him to digest eucalyptus leaves.

Another joey, named Imogen, who had already received the secretion, was safely removed from her mother’s pouch and raised by hand to make way for young Harry in the pouch.
