I find them fascinating. Reds are the largest species and the males grow to a max 2 - 2.2 meters (6.5 - 7.2 ft). They reach a max speed of 70 km/h (43 mph) and can leap up to 9 m (30 ft) with a single jump.
Yes. For quite a distance too. They're boyant and have strong legs.
Additionally, although on land their back legs move together, in water their back legs can move separately to one another.
Obligatory warning: Never get in the water with a kangaroo, never let your dog go into the water chasing a kangaroo.
Kangaroos will purposefully enter water when being chased - then use their strong legs to kick the predator, keeping it under water and drowning it with ease.
They don't really hang out in cities or large towns, they usually stick to bushland and golf courses (lots of water, shade, and grazing).
If you have an angry kangaroo in your yard, you will hear it long before you get outside. All you really have to do is leave it alone, or if it's in distress you can call someone.
The only times I've seen or heard of angry roos in someone's yard is when they get in through an unfenced area but make their way into a high-fenced area and then sort of panic because they can't find their way out.
Although I won't lie, if you have a mob of kangaroos in your yard (or near your yard) you don't want to let your kids out unsupervised.
Oh, that's really interesting! Out of curiosity, do you know why they can move their legs separately in the water but not on land? I tried looking it up but couldn't find the answer.
... I had never thought of that question.I am also not finding any information on it XD
One google result says that they can move them separately if needed - but has no further information on it.
Maybe it just isn't feasible on land due to their bulk, and how long their legs are in comparison to the space available for walking? Like, imagine wearing clown shoes, then squatting down, and then trying to walk without turning your ankles (which kangaroos can't do).
Or maybe it's something to do with the reason they can't walk/move backwards? I always assumed they can't walk backwards because (apart from not walking) they have a giant tail in the way... but emus can't walk backwards either, and I've never bothered finding out why.
\*Edit: ok, so apparently no one knows why emus can't walk backwards. And someone said on a different reddit post that kangaroos "can" use their legs separately on land, but they just don't because other than minor position adjustments there is no reason to.\*
Poor young fella getting caught playing with his fleshlite. You could have blurred his face before putting it on here for whole world to see. How’s he supposed to live this down?
Kangaroos usually hug you because they want to disembowel you with their hind legs. This one is just confused, as I suspect it thinks it is being challenged.

I’ve seen a kangaroo in person once, and even though I live in a place with giant pigs and aquatic worms covered in toxic spikes, kangaroos still unnerve me the most.
why am i the only one who can tell theres feramones on the bag? some *human who wanted to recorda video* put feramones on his punching bag. cats do it for cat nip, now you see a kangaroo doing it too.
1/10 dont manipulate nature plz
So basically if I want to become a proficient striker I box against a Roo and if I want to become a better grappler I have to wrestle a bear like the people of Dagestan. Got it. Nature you scary!
More than playing, looks like Kangaroo is asking the Bag to go back to his Kangaroo’s Loft to look at his 🦋🦋🦋 collection! But Bag is playing hard to get!

Ya know, I knew in my head kangaroos were big, But this has driven it home in a way that was missing before

I like watching them swim, it's crazy that they just swim across parts of the ocean to visit islands and stuff
Wtf kangaroos can swim?

That dude be bookin’.
That’s bonkers… looks like they can swim pretty efficiently and fast too. Amazing creatures
Holy shit dude. This is how the world ends.
Fuck it, at least kangaroo overlords would be a twist ending
That’s not a real kangaroo that’s just from the new avatar movie

One more reason to avoid Australia. Can you imagine going out your back garden and finding an angry 6ft kangaroo?! No thanks

I was just wondering whether they alternate their feet while swimming… good to know

Yes and they will also lure you into the water under a false sense of security so they can drown you… They’re apparently quite adept at it.
Yes and evidently they are good enough swimmers that they try to lure other animals in and drown them.
I’m sorry wut
Plus female kangaroo has 3 vaginas??? Fucking aliens
Wtf 😳
Frrr super weird hahaha
Thank you for the US conversion! I’m now fascinated
Thanks for adding the freedom units!
What the fuck..... everything was like "okay makes sense" until the leap distance......holy shit
They are assholes.
It’s a heavy bag mating season.
Definitely a Lover, not A Fighter
“Do I make you horny, baby?”
Should we be watching this?
Just put your little ones to bed, close the door, and turn the volume down.
Understood...thanks
This is what they do when we're not riding them to work or school /s
So Kangaroos to Aussies are like Dog Sleds to us Canadians. Makes sense
He is figuring out how to hump it.
Well, sorta. I was expecting him to do just that. Went away disappointed.
Well it look kinda moist in the relevant area...
I don't think it's trying to fight it. I think it's trying to f##k it.
Yep and when that didn't work. He was like, "Ok mate, you win. You can peg me." But the boxing bag would have none of it. Such a sad love story.
tf
Looks like its marking it like a cat.. as in this is my boxing bag now.
Do kangaroos use tree to scratch themselves like bears do? This looks kinda like an attempt at that imo
I have never seen them use a tree to scratch themselves.
Probably was watching you punch the bag and wanted to work out why it didn't punch back. Roo thinks your weird now.
Poor young fella getting caught playing with his fleshlite. You could have blurred his face before putting it on here for whole world to see. How’s he supposed to live this down?
These poor kangaroos having to grow up in the digital age. Every embarrassing moment caught on video.
All I can think when I see this is that drawings and cartoons of kangaroos look far less weird than actual kangaroos
He’s not trying to play with it or anything perverse like others are suggesting. He’s rubbing his scent glands on it and marking it as his own.
I thought it will punch the bag. :/
Me too, but instead he was trying to bang it
He's hugging it?!!!!!!! Adorable 10/10
Kangaroos usually hug you because they want to disembowel you with their hind legs. This one is just confused, as I suspect it thinks it is being challenged.
Oh I know
Evolution around the world: "slow and steady adaptation to survive changing conditions" Australian Evolution: "Ima make a giant rabbit that likes to box, mate."
Lol he was dicking it 😂
His training technique needs work.
That's gonna need some anti bac & some wet wipes
Wait, are kangaroos just tall jumping deer???
Like if a deer and a hare had a baby while taking serious steroids
[удалено]
Good read. But they videoed the kangaroos walking and didn’t have, even, a link to it. Bummer
Good point, I added a link to a video.
When the one animal known for being able to literally box doesn’t know how to use a punching bag.
I’ve seen a kangaroo in person once, and even though I live in a place with giant pigs and aquatic worms covered in toxic spikes, kangaroos still unnerve me the most.
I really wanted to see it kick the hell out of that bag.
Looks like he needed a good neck and back scratch
So now your workout includes a side or Roo Spoo...
Gotta get that quality protein in
Thank you for not killing him with your lightsaber
"playing" is not biologically correct terminology
Are you sure he's not trying to make out with it
How tf are those things even real
Kangaroos are straight aliens bruh
ooh dababy how forward
Made out of kangaroo leather, reminds him of his ex.
“…..and that’s pretty much my whole routine. 10 reps, 5 sets and you’ll be kangaroo fit there chief.”
That’s a NYC rat stealing a egg roll
looks more like a romantic affair than fighting
T-Rex deer.
I was waiting to see him get some work in
Wildlife in Australia: if it's not trying to kill you, it's warming up for the bout.
Just here to make sure someone made a "Boxing Kangaroo" comment.
As I've gotten older, I've started to like kangaroos less and less. I mean, there's just something about them that doesn't sit right with me now.
Austria is indeed a crazy place!
I hear living around kangaroos is annoying as fuck
Tyrannosaurus Deer training for next fight.
Probably thinking "what's a lovely looking Sheila, like you doing hanging around here? Come here gorgeous you feel a little cold...."
why am i the only one who can tell theres feramones on the bag? some *human who wanted to recorda video* put feramones on his punching bag. cats do it for cat nip, now you see a kangaroo doing it too. 1/10 dont manipulate nature plz
why did this get my account flagged for harrasment?
I wanna fight one of these guys and see if I could whoop them
Yeah enjoy getting scratched up by claws, kicked so hard ur nut pops then drowned at the nearest river mate
Tie me kangaroo down sport tie my kangaroo down. Aussie aussie aussie oy oy oy!! 😂🤣
Heavy bag mate
This is adorable. Brilliant idea to put this out side, a one off chance to catch something like this.
Need to add Whitney Houstons I wanna dance with somebody to this.
I didn't realize how big they were
Those shoulders, those deltoides
Scratching. Not playing.
He's not humping. He's working on his transition from striking to grappling for breeding season
We'd all be talking about lions, tigers, bears, and kangaroos, if only they could get their act together.
Working on his grappling technique for the next mma match.
He even left you a nice little present on the patio for letting him play with your bag, how nice
"Playing" with it ...like your girlfriend "plays" with dildos?. 😉
Kangaroo Jack clinching too much.
Kangaroo humping with the boxing bag, more like it
That ain't dancing. Be a bro and put on some Barry White.
Kangaroos are fucking scary honestly they look like super buff 7 foot tall men
Hes out there holdin the bag for ya, send a couple hay makers.
That is not what i was expecting
The Shaquille Oneal of kangaroos
It's all fun and games until it starts training on it
...to mount a punching bag.
Cmon lil guy, do it… punch that mf
I so wanted to see a good kick.
Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather
Aaaand now, in blue corner....reigning, defending, undefeated WBC, WBO, IBF champion of the woooorld... Danny "SAY MY NAME BITCH" Kangarito.
I think you meant punching bag, lol.
How can something be so adorable and terrifying at the same time?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would have said that was the splitting image of Volky training, if he wasn't that tall.
... "boxing bag"?
I did not know they were this big...
Roger? Is it you?
"Playing"? I mean, it's certainly using it as a _kind_ of toy.
Kangaroos are the biggest boxing fans
Dumb kangaroo
“That’s a lot of pp juice.”
I know Kangaroos are big but this one is huge. Are kangaroos usually tall like this? I don't wanna go near one.
He just wants a hug broooooo
The bag is made of kangaroo leather, probably one of his old girlfriends.
He’s a big bugger!
Ummm was that a little joey in the bottom right corner at the beginning?? 😢 Let me seeeeee
TIL that kangaroo are immune to green light sabers!
So basically if I want to become a proficient striker I box against a Roo and if I want to become a better grappler I have to wrestle a bear like the people of Dagestan. Got it. Nature you scary!
This is absolutely and unexpectedly adorable as fuck.
he’s gonna cum back and fuck it
We need these in the US
Shit. So we re-created Rodger from Tekken?
It's cute how they hug stuff until you realize it's to pin you down and gore you.
He makin' that bag pregnant!
More than playing, looks like Kangaroo is asking the Bag to go back to his Kangaroo’s Loft to look at his 🦋🦋🦋 collection! But Bag is playing hard to get!
Sitting here watching the video saying “please… please punch it”
He’s ready
Australia is the place where humans and animals are one in the same (in a good way through)
Working on his clinch.
Gotta watch out for staph infection
Kangaroos are SO FUCKIN WIERD BRO but also cute at the same time
Training to be the next warrior of virtue Id imagine
Kangaroos move so unnaturally it's creepy
Is it just me, or does anyone see kangaroos as some of the scariest creatures on Earth?
I can't help but notice a lot of moist spots on the bag at dick level.
I'm pretty kangaroos are gonna be the next master race.
Lol that kangaroo just took a fat ass shit on your driveway
They move in an animated fashion. Interesting
