Adorable video of Rufus the kangaroo refusing to listen to his carer.

The clip, filmed on February 2 in Australia, shows Rufus lounging on the sofa while his carers at Pumpkins Patch Kangaroo Sanctuary try and convince him to watch the TV with them, but like a grumpy child, he sticks his paws in his ears.

"This is our red kangaroo Rufus who likes to come into the house every evening and lay on the couch snoozing. He has his own spot on the couch and no one else is allowed to sit there!" the filmer told Newsflare.

I’m a lazy, couch loving Red Kangaroo named Rufus. I was rescued in SA and live at Pumpkins Patch Kangaroo Sanctuary!
