Brothers stick together. That's just what they do. Although in this case, the two koalas are quite literal about it. Baby Oscar was right by his brother's side - er, back - in the clip. It showed the teeny, tiny, koala hanging on Onion's back. The larger Koala didn't mind one bit.

The big brother seemed very protective of his little bro. Anywhere that Onion goes, Oscar is sure to follow. It's the kind of sacrifice that you expect from family!

Commenters were so incredibly touched by the two brothers' video.
"How very special! My beautiful Aussie natives! Our cuddly koalas!" cheered one commenter.
"This is so sweet," another person praised.
"Beautiful," chimed in someone else.
"Awwwwww," one commenter cooed.
Fun Facts About Koalas
Possibly the cutest animal, there's a lot to know about koalas. Koalas aren't just adorable little faces, they're really interesting animals too.
For instance, did you know that koalas come from Australia? They tend to live in eastern and south-eastern Australia, which includes Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. They tend to live in eucalyptus forests in Australia, as eucalyptus is a major part of a koala's diet.
Some people believe that koalas are bears, but they aren't! Despite looking like pint-sized bears, they're actually marsupials and are more closely related to kangaroos and wombats. They are mammals and their babies are called pinkies. Isn't that so cute?
Sadly, Koalas are an endangered species. They need our help. It'll help so many koalas, like Onion and Oscar here.
