We can’t help but be delighted when a video like this one shows us just how similar humans and animals can be. YouTube user chrismorinbc captured this wallaby joey on video while traveling in Australia and points out that the baby is sucking its ‘thumb’ just like a human baby might!

We’re quite convinced there isn’t a wallaby in the world that isn’t adorable -- if you need any more evidence, check out Hannah, a red-necked wallaby joey peering out of her mother’s pouch at Australia’s Taronga Zoo, or Chai, a rescued agile wallaby joey caught on video taking her very first hops -- but we have to rank this little guy very high on our ever-expanding list of cute wallabies.
