Group hug! Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and daughter Zahara, eight, share tender and tight cuddle on family trip to the zoo in Australia

They were all recently reunited when Brad Pitt jetted to Australia earlier this month to join his wife Angelina Jolie and their brood as the actress continues to work on her film Unbroken Down Under.
And the couple and their six children, Maddox, 12, Pax, Zahara, eight, Shiloh, seven, and five-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne, looked closer than ever as they visited the Currumbin Wildlife Park on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, on Thursday.
During the outing, the power couple were seen giving their little girl Zahara a tight squeeze as the clan spent quality time together.

The 38-year-old actress was seen resting her head on her handsome hubby-to-be's shoulder as he put a protective muscular arm around her and their eight-year-old little
girl.
At one point, Angelina tenderly cradled her daughter's head in her hands as she doted and stared down at her lovingly.
Sitting close by was Brad and Angie's twin girl Vivienne, who looked adorable in a white sundress, and Maddox, who stood beside them.
The group were chatting to staff members who were showing them around the zoo.

I want a pat too! Zahara was also eager to pet the small animal

It seems that the Salt star has been getting a little bit of a tan as she enjoys the summer Down Under.
On her bronzed arm she slipped on a gold bangle which matched a large gold ring on her finger.
The family were taken to a section of the park not normally open for visitors, where the children played with several animals.
Little Pax took a liking to a baby Joey whose mother was apparently lost and the animal was orphaned.

The youngster was seen cradling the infant animal in a red pouch while his mother Angelina was also fawning over the tiny creature.
Zahara was also extremely interested in the marsupial, and was seen tenderly patting the family's new furry friend as the rest of the clan looked on in awe.
The outing at the zoo comes after the family celebrated Christmas also on the Gold Coast.
Ahead of the holiday, the Mr. and Mrs. Smith stars managed to get some last-minute shopping done at a Target in the suburb of Robina.

Tuckered out? Little Vivienne let out a little yawn as the group went for their stroll

The couple were accompanied by all of their children, and reportedly asked that the store remain open after closing time so they could make purchases without being disturbed by fans.
Apparently the manager of the Target store had waited until everyone had left the retailer, only to privately reopen it up for the stars and company.
An employee told the Gold Coast Bulletin newspaper: 'They made sure no one was around to blow their cover.'

VIP treatment: The family were allowed in areas of the zoo not usually open to the public

According to the source, the Brangelina clan shopped for about an hour and a half to buy presents for their children and friends.
The employee source added: 'Who would have thought people like them would do their shopping at Target?'
On Monday, a day after their special Target visit, the family were spotted taking in a speed boat trip on the Coomera River in Queensland.
The couple, who have a net worth of over $300million, have been spending time in Australia while mother-of-six Angelina is directing the war film Unbroken, which is set for release on Christmas Day 2014.

The movie chronicles the life of Louis Zamperini, whom was an Olympic runner that was taken prisoner by Japanese forces during World War II.
Keeping with the World War II theme, Brad will be staring in Fury, which is about Americans in Nazi Germany toward the end of the war whom enter in a daring mission.
The actor plays 'Wardaddy' and stars alongside stars alongside Shia Lebeouf, Logan Lerman, Jon Bernthal, and Michael Peña in the film that is set for an October 2014 release.
