Here’s loungin’ at you, kid.

This koala bear with a come-hither stare has captured ­netizens’ hearts, going viral on social media.

Australian photographer Ross Long snapped the supine marsupial lounging in a tree at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in Gold Coast. The portrait has garnered thousands of likes on Instagram.

“There were other female koalas nearby, so I guess this is his way of letting them know that he was indeed ready,” the lensman, 27, told Caters News. “He looked more chilled than a Friday night of Netflix and chill.”

The koala may have gone viral in more ways that one — most of Australia’s wild koalas have chlamydia, according to National Geographic.
