Is this common in Australia?
It's practically part of their daily routine.
The war between human and kangaroos way have been going on for centuries.

I've been told they don't even have mailboxes. They just drop the main in the nearest 'roo's pouch and you have to fight it if you want it.

Damn, so kangaroos are basically jacked-af cassowaries with arms?

I cannot stop laughing. The way they square up on each other and then the kangaroos arms flying back... Omg I'm crying. Lol

I can't stop laughing. The way the guy got into a boxing stance. And the Kangaroo's reaction after the punch. Priceless. Thanks so much for sharing, you made my day!
when we're not being hunted by emu's, this is how we spend our time

It's an ancient, sacred rite of passage from boyhood to manhood, but since the 1950s women have taken part in it as well. Connecting with the land, with the very Earth itself in the sacred Walkabout, Australians undergo a journey during adolescence, typically from ages 10 to 16, and live in the wilderness for a period as long as six months to make the spiritual and traditional transition into adulthood. It all culminates by facing the final boss, the physical manifestation of your Spirit Guide Kangaroo.
So they are used to punching Kangaroos all the time over there.

Um what, better than keeping your arms by your side and eating a kangaroo foot.
In so confused. How is this the same clip as the video, except he's not punching the roo on the face in this gif??lol I can't stop laughing at it

Gif quality...his hand and roo's chest are about the same color so you can't see the hit.
I'm not an expert.

Poor quality gif of a poor quality video. Far as I can tell the similar colours of the mans hand and the kangaroos chest (in the video) blurred together in whatever made the gif, combined with the (relatively) low frame rate (?) make it look like he isn't punching the kangaroo in the face, when he is.
the punch hits the chest in the gif. Yes I am confused.

he was fucking choking that dog
holy shit

I think kangaroos in general are probably fake.
What an implausible animal.
No, it only looks like that due to the colours all being very similar, the original video being of poor quality and the GIF has the punch in exactly one frame, which is probably slightly after the punch. That's why it looks like he punches the kangaroo in the chest.

Guy was lucky he didn't get kicked. Personally I'd be in full hockey pads before going up against one of those marsupials. They are adorable though.

Like, just a regular-ass kangaroo like the one in the video? That roo would get destroyed.
Now, if you're talking one of those jacked-up megaroos, that might be interesting.

Dayum, they just go after their opponents throat with their hands, use their tail to keep balance and kick em with both of their legs..
Insane.

the kangaroo probably thought the dogs to be a predatory threat, (they look like dingos)
You can't defend that.
that looks like the devil

Dude snatched that roo's soul.
"the fuck you just say?"
I think it's the part with the guy punching a kangaroo that had his dog in a headlock.
I knew kangaroos were tough and muscular, but damn. This dude's definitely lucky he tried picking a fight with a weaker one; any of the others here (Barring the barely-past-being-a-Joey one with the ball) probably could've taken him, the dog, and the cameraperson before any of them could get away.
