Kangaroos are freaking scary.

Their claws are the real scary bit. Yes they kick like mad cunts and you'd consider it lucky to come off with a broken rib, but they are liable to straight up gut you standing. That was the part of them we were taught to be wary of as kids.

Worse still you can imagine, is copping a kick then it pounces and you end up cosplaying Captain Mifune in Matrix Revolutions. Happened to a woman in Victoria a while back I think.

The video of the guy squaring up the roo to save his dog. Clench my teeth any time I see it. Like absolutely fuck that.

Edit: As a disclaimer of sorts, it's not as though they hunt people. Generally if you find a roo anywhere near civilisation they'll be on the docile side and hop away or be friendly. We had a patch of bush across my old office with a pack(?) of them that would let people sit near and pat them. You'd have to really try to get into a situation where any of the above happens. In saying that, don't fuck with them especially if you're out bush.

And they also like to drown animals/people. They are kind of scary in the wild, but really sweet in captivity.

Im imagining a kangaroo that has a guy in a headlock, dragging him through the desert, looking for a source of water to drown him in
