I honestly was looking for this comment to see if it had answers to my question...

Why was everyone just chill while the kangaroo was in the train with them? Like aren't these motherfuckers dangerous as fuck? Aren't they wild animals? Couldn't they just on a whim get pissed off because the train jolted them and started drop kicking motherfuckers?

Those kicks are no joke and could kill or badly injure someone. Unless kangaroos are docile creatures and it takes a lot to antagonize them so they're not really that dangerous?

I'd love to know!

They are broadly vegetarian and don't hunt. They don’t mind eating insects. So they don’t see us as food, which are the most dangerous animals, like dingoes. Where they lose their chill tends to be when they have their mating hormones running. Males can fight males for mates. So basically don’t get in the way of their mating process and ittl be fine.

Sound like Friday night at the local pub.
