MEET RUFUS THE COUCH KANGA!

He’s the television-loving, sofa-lounging roo

- Emma Levett.

A normal evening at Kym and Neil Haywood’s home sees the couple sitting squashed at both ends of their couch while their daughter Jade is upstairs in her room.

There’s no space for her on the sofa because between the couple sits an enormous 60kg kangaroo called Rufus!

“It was obvious from early on that Rufus was a different boy,” Kym laughs. “He’s always loved human company, and even as a baby his favourite place was the couch. From the minute he could pop up onto it, he’d lie with his head dangling off the side. Even now he comes in most nights and sits with us.”
