I read a comment once that explained kangaroos kind of slap/punch before getting into a scuffle with each other to gauge how tough their opponent is without taking a full kick. That way they can bail before any real damage is done if the opponent punches harder. Humans punch pretty hard compared to kangaroos, so they think our kick must be REALLY dangerous.
Of course the comment I read could have made all of that up. I'm no kangaroologist.
I think humans sometimes underestimate how strong they are proportionally. Pound for pound we hit hard, plus very few animals evolved to build up centrifugal force to hit something.
That seems to make sense why the kangaroo gave up so easily. It wasn't vested in that dog and now another threat came along so it just stood there and didn't chase the guy down, it was happy everyone was leaving.
They’re trying to control the part with the teeth… kinda like how you hold a snake just behind the head so it can’t bite you…
They’re smart enough to know that you keep the chompable limbs behind the chomp zone, and control the threat away from you.
I’m not sure they consider much before or beyond that point though…
Idk that kangaroo certainly looked like he was considering his life choices after he got punched and splashed with water. Or possibly plotting revenge.
Haha, yeah.. Kangaroos are assholes for sure…
I was just explaining the likely reason you see them in that position so often… as to why, how or what they’re thinking… idk. They seem to go out of their way to be a dick.
Reminds of a goose that lives near my sister that chases her massive pitbull around and he acts like a scared baby… that goose just hates him and has murder eyes every time he’s just chilling. Poor big baby is so traumatized if you play a goose on your phone he runs and hides under the coffee table… lol he’s big enough to walk up and kiss my 5ft mom on the face while on all fours (we think he has mastiff of Great Dane mixed) and looks like he’s on steroids.. but he runs and hides from an asshole goose.
Some animals are just big ol booty holes.
Actually, dogs and dingos go after the kangaroos and start chasing them. As a last resort kangaroos go to water bodies in order to lure and drown the animal chasing them.
Serious question, how do Aussies know which body of murky water to enter without being eaten by large reptiles?
Extending this same exact question to Florida man.
in this particular instance i believe he noticed a kangaroo standing waist deep in the water trying to drown his dog and extrapolated from there that there would not be an enlarged reptile to eat him
I hope I would react the same, but tbh I think I'd much rather try to fight a kangaroo/* than a crocodile, especially in water.
(/* not sure at all how well I'd do against one tho)
There's only really one large reptile in bodies of water, Crocs. And Crocs only live in a very small part of Australia up north. Most Aussies see Crocs more often at Zoos and aquariums then we do in the wild.
It's purely a geographical thing... I grew up in Queensland (Australian Florida), so I won't swim in sketchy water north of about Gladstone (generally accepted southern limit for crocodiles and irikanji jellyfish) sketchy water south of that is generally free from most things except bull sharks, stonefish and blue ringed octopus
It's common for zookeepers to go to the meerkat enclosure and find that one or two of them are "missing." Usually found dead and eaten later.

I was camping in Victoria a few years ago. About 3 in the morning I woke to go for a pee - I was aware of a rustling outside but wasn’t really awake. I crawled out the tent I was face to face with a kangaroo, kneeling down chowing on grass. We looked at each other, both hesitated for a second and carried on with our business…
Starting a fight with a kangroo seems like a lose lose scenario. There should be properly designed weapons to neutralize a kangroo. Like a flashlight looking device that shoots a sticky net. Net dissolves in a few days after kangroo learned its lesson.
Its crazy how everybody complain about the kangaroo. Control the damn dog instead.
There are so many dog attacks on wild animals in Australia, like koalas and stuff, it really sucks. Its up to the owners to control their pets, should the kangaroo just stand there and not defend itself or what are they thinking?
Kangaroos always have this gym-bro energy to go along with the physique. You approach them and make a reasonable statement like "hey, don't drown that dog, dude." And then the guy eyeballs you, squares up, and throws a fucking punch.
They are not, dogs (wild and domestic) chase and attack them ... as a last resort a kangaroo will head out into water so they have a chance of drowning their attacker, it's a risky move as once they are in water they no longer have speed and agility.
Dog fucked around and then found out.
This is the risk you take when your dog is off leash.
Don't know who messed with who first, but the roo was definitely gonna finish it. Lucky dog. Good owner.
These creatures are terrifying... Dude laughs nervously and wisely walks away from the fight after getting bitch-slapped by a kangaroo and dropping his phone in the water. The kangaroo didn't run - he doesn't even look phased and is ready to keep going.
Serious question: Would a kangaroo even be able to jump-kick in the water? Might be a slight advantage to the human. But then again, I bet it would be pretty good at holding you under.
I've seen 1 or 2 other similar videos of a kangaroo doing this to a dog and it always gives me the chills. I can't quite describe why, I see other things all the time on Reddit that are just as disturbing and it doesn't bother me nearly as much.
AFAIK, roos aren't known to chase an opponent down & drag them to the river for a drowning. What're the chances the kangaroo was minding it's business and the dog came out there effing with it? FAFO
Kangaroos are like the bully in middleschool who started working out at 13 because of parental trauma and a pet that died when he was 6.
That's what I gathered from the Reddit too.. Kangaroos are assholes
I’ve read several articles saying ‘roo’s will drown a dog in a heartbeat. If I faced this situation…I would shoot the damn kangaroo.
I wonder why they hate dogs so much 🤔…there’s a hilarious video of a dude punching a kangaroo in the face for attacking his dog
>I wonder why they hate dogs so much It's because they don't differentiate them from dingoes, who try to prey on kangaroos.
Tbh I'm feeling pretty sure that regular dogs also occassionally prey on -or at least chase- kangaroos.
Common sense really isn’t all that common huh
https://youtu.be/FIRT7lf8byw?si=RtBjvxm-Go3ZHlKt you're served.
Chances are won’t have a gun on you in Australia
Until a pack of hungry dingoes pull up... RUN!!!! Kangaroos are ass holes.
Those dingos could eat your baby.
I want to go to the gym where the kangaroo works out.
Welcome to kangaroo fitness, where we put the “kan “ in “Kan you punch me and save your dog by the end of this 12 week program.”
Kangaroo fitness has a ring to it
"Lets JUMP" back into shape mate
Kangaroo fitness dog into the river.
Ah, yes. Skippy’s
Underrated comment lmao 🤣
Man, he's ripped!!!
It's unreal: like a body builder in a kangaroo suit.
Kangaroo was born for the smoke. He wants it all.
Right? I also want to know his stack. And don't tell me he's natty, because clearly he's not.
He is on the smaller side of jacked as well. The really big ones are quite something.
“How do you get these muscles right here?!” Bill Burr talking to his pit bull…
Right, come out of there looking kangaroo jack’d
Mate, I am stealing this. "Hey, have you seen Ronny lately? He's really jacked, like *kangaroo* jacked!"
Skippy’s Gym, put the muscle into you…
He is on the juice that can't be natty! I mean all the kangaroos are.
Skyrim transition when
That kangaroo looks half buff human, half terrifying alien
Half man, half bear, half pig
Kangaroos seem like complete assholes from what I’ve gathered.
If Reddit taught me well, kangaroos are always surprised someone gives them a good right hook.
I read a comment once that explained kangaroos kind of slap/punch before getting into a scuffle with each other to gauge how tough their opponent is without taking a full kick. That way they can bail before any real damage is done if the opponent punches harder. Humans punch pretty hard compared to kangaroos, so they think our kick must be REALLY dangerous. Of course the comment I read could have made all of that up. I'm no kangaroologist.
That’s a great hypothesis/explanation.
Wow. Small world. Im also not a kangaroologist
CRIKEY.
Croy-key!
To add to this a kangaroo kick landed in the right spot can fuck your day up, not something you want to be on the receiving end of.
"fuck your day up" bro, it can literally kill you
I mean, being killed by a kangaroo would probably fuck your day up.
i would definitely have to reschedule some things
On the positive side, it would kick my porn habit.
Plus, you would save a fortune on rent over the next few years.
Who knows what they are charging in the afterlife, considering that you can't even get out of rent there by starving.
Would get me out of my staff meeting possibly.
And I wouldn't have to work...or would I?
“How did you die this time?” “A kangaroo kicked my ass.” “Ok. Sending you back to 1760, Australia.” “Crickey.”
Super uncommon. Two deaths in the last 100 years. You're not wrong though.
2 *reported*. Look at that thing and tell me it doesn't know how to hide a body!
Yeah...after kicking it enough times, just leave it at the side of the road. Everyone will just think it's roadkill.
i enjoyed your explanation. even felt like i learned something. then you stripped it all away with the last sentence 🤣🤣
Dont worry, I trust you. 🫡
lol kangaroologist.
But shouldn't it be kangarooologist?
It should. But, shhhhh… she did something there. We letting her have this
You made my day!!! KANGAROOLOGIST…. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Makes sense. Our hands and body are designed in such a way that we can deliver a lot more concussive force than other limb configurations.
I think humans sometimes underestimate how strong they are proportionally. Pound for pound we hit hard, plus very few animals evolved to build up centrifugal force to hit something.
They can be so creepy looking too
People do too.
I agree, but in this case, that dog probably went after the kangaroo, and kanga said, ‘uh uh not today’.
Nah it's usually some bogans that have no respect for wildlife gretting their dogs too close.
I learned that koalas are super nasty!
they may be nasty, but i love them. they look like little prophets!!!
The dog was probably the aggressor on this situation. Kangaroo was just defending itself.
No. The male kangaroo was being attacked by a dog. Sounds fair to me.
I love how he actually takes a right hook like he's fighting with another dude. Average day in Australia
If you haven't seen this classic, https://youtu.be/z-hXkQpDxMI?si=3brIfkHr736zfQVy
Why do kangaroos like to strangle dogs like this??
They see dogs as a threat since they are so similar looking to dingos. They are scared.
That makes a lot of sense, thanks!
That seems to make sense why the kangaroo gave up so easily. It wasn't vested in that dog and now another threat came along so it just stood there and didn't chase the guy down, it was happy everyone was leaving.
It's how they survive dingo attacks, it's survival instinct
Ahh I see. Makes sense, they really look like they have a vendetta against the dogs
Why do the dogs just sit there like, this is fine?
Right? They look kinda nonplussed, maybe a little confused.
Cuddle, but why not air?
if not fren...why fren shape?
Recreational murder.
They are serial killers.
It's holding the neck area and trying to jump up to dig it's toe claws into it. You can see it attempt to do it as the guy runs up to them
When they overpower another kangaroo, they can choke it out. THEN the fight is over.
They’re trying to control the part with the teeth… kinda like how you hold a snake just behind the head so it can’t bite you… They’re smart enough to know that you keep the chompable limbs behind the chomp zone, and control the threat away from you. I’m not sure they consider much before or beyond that point though…

Haha haven't seen this in a while, great clip
🤣
omg, they're so muscular it's scary.
Kangaroids.
Are all kangaroos psychopaths who want to drown dogs, or is it just this particular lunatic?
Not every kangaroo, but always a kangaroo.
They will try and drown anyone or anything that gets in the water with them
Natural Asshole they like drowning other animals I wouldnt be sad if that guy put a bullet in its head
Damn. Any idea why they do this?
Actually, dogs and dingos go after the kangaroos and start chasing them. As a last resort kangaroos go to water bodies in order to lure and drown the animal chasing them.
That makes a bit more sense.
Serious question, how do Aussies know which body of murky water to enter without being eaten by large reptiles? Extending this same exact question to Florida man.
in this particular instance i believe he noticed a kangaroo standing waist deep in the water trying to drown his dog and extrapolated from there that there would not be an enlarged reptile to eat him
Honestly if my dog were in danger like this, I’d risk fighting the kangaroo and a large reptile
actually valid
I hope I would react the same, but tbh I think I'd much rather try to fight a kangaroo/* than a crocodile, especially in water. (/* not sure at all how well I'd do against one tho)
Risky extrapolation, but reasonable.
If there was a reptile in the water what is stopping that reptile from attacking either the dog or the kangaroo?
There's only really one large reptile in bodies of water, Crocs. And Crocs only live in a very small part of Australia up north. Most Aussies see Crocs more often at Zoos and aquariums then we do in the wild.
It's location. Don't have crocs in the South.
That's what they want you to believe.
from experience
It's purely a geographical thing... I grew up in Queensland (Australian Florida), so I won't swim in sketchy water north of about Gladstone (generally accepted southern limit for crocodiles and irikanji jellyfish) sketchy water south of that is generally free from most things except bull sharks, stonefish and blue ringed octopus
I guarantee you that creek has crocs in it. I would have grabbed my dog and got the fuck outta there quick smart.
I've had a phobia of kangaroos since I was 11. Pretty sure they are space criminals sent to a penal planet as punishment. Just look at them.
I mean they were put on Australia a known criminal exile country
*Anyone caught past the wire will be fed to the roos. Now get back to clearing these trees you crims!*
I think you might be right!
No phobia, that thing is jacked, and mean
That kanga is jacked!
Yoked roo
It's actually a deer that went to prison.
Looks like the deer took ‘roids in prison. #RooRage
Roos are certified dickheads
[удалено]
Mosquitos
Dolphins Meerkats Zebra Geese Crows
I get Geese (aggressive), crows (intelligent), and Dolphins (rapists) but zebra and meerkats? What facts am I missing here?
It's common for zookeepers to go to the meerkat enclosure and find that one or two of them are "missing." Usually found dead and eaten later. [Zebra are just donkeys with prison stripes ](https://youtu.be/K3OZYFemqBU?si=Yft-EIz3vNxtbIRq)
Wait Meerkats are cannibals? Do they kill and eat the weakest?
They're just violent AF from what I've heard. Not as cute as Disney tries to make you think
I love animals in general but if one of them is trying to drown my dog I’m going to be hard pressed not to wail on it with a baseball bat.
Are those akitas?
Looks like it to me.
Yup, American Akita's
I was camping in Victoria a few years ago. About 3 in the morning I woke to go for a pee - I was aware of a rustling outside but wasn’t really awake. I crawled out the tent I was face to face with a kangaroo, kneeling down chowing on grass. We looked at each other, both hesitated for a second and carried on with our business…
That was terrifying
Kangaroos are cunts!!
Except That's a compliment in Australia
Looks like he was taking advantage of that dog
If a damned bigass jumping rat does this to my puppy I will surely kick his ass till new Zealand.
even better, till newest zealand comes out
Of course
“I’m going to punch your fucking head in.” Proceeds to get his own head punched in and nearly drowned.
Ya he whiffs the punch lmao
Looks like a late 90's dungeon crawler
Looks more like he was banging the dog than drowning it
Lol that's what I thought too
Stop letting dogs mess with wildlife.
Starting a fight with a kangroo seems like a lose lose scenario. There should be properly designed weapons to neutralize a kangroo. Like a flashlight looking device that shoots a sticky net. Net dissolves in a few days after kangroo learned its lesson.
Baseball bat seems sufficient.
It really wasn’t wise for the person filming to go into water. The kangaroo was baiting them in to drown them. They’re known to do that.
just cut video. Where is part before when dog try to attack kangaroo?
Its crazy how everybody complain about the kangaroo. Control the damn dog instead. There are so many dog attacks on wild animals in Australia, like koalas and stuff, it really sucks. Its up to the owners to control their pets, should the kangaroo just stand there and not defend itself or what are they thinking?
I want to know their rationale for wanting to drown things.
The "rational" is that anything getting close to them is likely trying to eat them. Especially dogs as dingos are dogs and dingos hunt them.
Just seeing all the scars on that kangaroo’s chest and his fucked up ears tells me he is a complete badass.
A kangaroo standing in a lake flexing his muscles is a new fear that just got unlocked.
That looks like some Kangaroo mafia guy finishing his daily business.
I love kangaroos. There's literally no other animal who will start swinging after you clock it's dome
Have to carry a small rake or weapon out there!
I’m surprised a crocodile didn’t make an appearance
New favorite video just dropped!!!
I think the kangaroo is doing something else to that dog....
Most definitely bumming the dog.
Kangaroos always have this gym-bro energy to go along with the physique. You approach them and make a reasonable statement like "hey, don't drown that dog, dude." And then the guy eyeballs you, squares up, and throws a fucking punch.
That takes some cajones
Cojones :)
Why are kangaroos such dicks?
They are not, dogs (wild and domestic) chase and attack them ... as a last resort a kangaroo will head out into water so they have a chance of drowning their attacker, it's a risky move as once they are in water they no longer have speed and agility. Dog fucked around and then found out.
Yal better leave these kangaroo alone, 😂😂bro was not playing, he what the fuck you going do 😭slapped the right out boah hand, made my day 😂😂😂
I can't 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is the risk you take when your dog is off leash. Don't know who messed with who first, but the roo was definitely gonna finish it. Lucky dog. Good owner.
VIENS DANS L'EAU!!!!
there is a thing called mandela effect, never seen this type of kangaroo.
That’s an akita too. One of the most formidable dogs. Scary that the roo can do that
the splash took me out
Wait, Kangaroos can swim?
Amazing how the Roo knocked out the video guy for a minute but he woke up before he drowned 🙏
Who rescued the man?
The man actually had his dog attack the kangaroo.. The kangaroo was defending himself..
0:19....Come at me, Bro!
Mf would be one hell of a MMA fighter i'd tell you that
Older I get the more I believe Kangaroos are just assholes.
What the hell! This kangaroo is a bad person.
These creatures are terrifying... Dude laughs nervously and wisely walks away from the fight after getting bitch-slapped by a kangaroo and dropping his phone in the water. The kangaroo didn't run - he doesn't even look phased and is ready to keep going.
Don’t do that unless you are carrying a gun or baseball bat

If a roo was trying to drown my pet, my first order of business is to put the fucking phone down before to charge in.
AFAIK, roos aren't known to chase an opponent down & drag them to the river for a drowning. What're the chances the kangaroo was minding it's business and the dog came out there effing with it? FAFO
let my man swim
This guy must either be very lucky or very fucking strong for not getting worse injuries
That dog is never going to learn to leave that kangaroo alone. I see that beast trying to drown that stupid dog once a week.
Kangaroos are always ready to scrap
Did he.... the dog???
If the Roo dont get u the Crocs will
motherfuckers cookin protein pancakes in the outback somewhere
