Fistfight With A Kangaroo

Kangaroos are hunted by dingoes. Understandably this 'roo mistook the domesticated dogs as a threat (and they still probably were). It was just defending itself. The 'roo let the dog go as their owner approached. Not sure what was going through the guys mind so will not judge.
 
Male Kangaroos are very territorial and aggressive. Only reason that he let go of the dog was to gain a height advantage over the newcomer, i.e. the greater threat.

In times past, people were ***** with this behaviour.

Few years ago, a roo got stuck on a grizzle bar (coal unloading grate), and one of my workmates rescued it with a rop...roo then tried to disembowel him with back leg kicks, and chased him down a couple of times.
 
I would have thought for sure that kangaroo would have kicked the living daylights out of that guy. It was his lucky day.
 
I saw this a few days ago, I thought sure that guy was going to be toast. I was expecting the roo to rock back on his tail and blast the guy with his rear legs.

Maneuver it into a position to give it a killing blow, or

Wow. Those short arms, for lack of another term, are perfect for choking another animal. He actually knew how to hold, and when to release after the kill.

Yes, he's The Charles Manson of Kangaroos...
 
Just for the couple of times that I've been asked why my Nissan has a bullbar.

This is just out of the work carpark, a 30MPH zone, and quite regularly they get spooked and stream across the road....

The buck was 50m down the road, watching and protecting (didn't get a pic).
 
so it's a 'roobar?

what the chance you get them in mid-jump and they go over thebar, into the windshield? with a sedan that would be areal concern, imo....
 
I'm "lucky" in that the ones that I've hit have been on the downstroke...if they go through the windscreen, their kicking is sometimes fatal.
 
I hate the bast ards 20 million too many in this country.
This happened to me three months ago. Car was two weeks old.
When I was a little whipper snapper I rode a kangaroo to school.
