— -- A koala at an Australian zoo who was hand-raised by humans needed some extra love when she was introduced for the first time into her new koala sanctuary.

Cameras were on hand to capture the moment the koala, named Imogen, was moved into the sanctuary at Australia's Symbio Wildlife Park in Sydney. One of the people behind the camera then became the subject of Imogen's "cuddles" after she leaped from a tree onto the floor and then right onto the cameraman.

The koala is used to being around humans because she has been hand-raised since the age of 8 months by two of Symbio's zookeepers, Kylie Elliot and Matt Radnidg, according to a "Raising Imogen" video on the Park's Facebook page.
