You just called my skin weak-minded. Well done.

Whoops! Lol

People make mistakes.

Notice you side stepped the rest, predictable and boring.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I also can't help but roll my eyes at the "but what if the guy had a knife or a gun, he'd win" Yeah sure, and if we're talking about irrelevant hypotheticals, what if the kangaroo could breath fire?

How do you know they can't? This is Australia, after all.

 

[JohnMatrix]

Is this common in Australia?

Nah, Kangroos aren't very common near the cities and when you meet them in the bush (camping etc) they are usually small and either shy or friendly, I've never really met an agressive one like in the video

 

[jizzlobber]

Lmao! Who punches a roo in the face?

Everything is so reactionary, the guy was probably expecting it to jump away... but it got in his face!

If he didn't punch it I have no doubt the roo would've kicked him in the guts (which would sent him flying)

 

[LegendofJoe]

Australia...I really need to go there one day.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

I love the comedic way the roo throws his hands in the air when being punched.

"Oi, what the feck mate?"

No Australian says feck. Maybe you're thinking of a Kiwi.

Any excuse to post this amazing piece of 'oh the 80s' TV is alright by me. It also shows that we have been living - harmoniously - with roos for decades. It is basically Australian anime, or Gundam:

Rags the Roo VS Marty the Monster

lol

 

[GSG Flash]

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, I can't stop laughing

 

[Forerunner]

The kangaroo definitely wasn't expecting that. He's just like wtf mate.

 

[Kozak]

I love this country.

 

[DJKhaled]

Maybe not hard to imagine, but not the best reaction to have when witnessing a man facing a wild animal. That's why I was more hoping for the security cam hypothesis.

I think it's hilarious that you think this was in a park.

You're at GameStop and this guy slaps your GF's ass. What do you do?

 

[JohnMatrix]

Punch on with him. It's all about respect.

 

[DJKhaled]

Have you seen their kicks? Even with a kniofe I think the roo wins. Aussies don't have guns, even with a gun you're gonna have to unload a whole lotta 9mms into this thing.

Lol holy shit I'm sorry but Americans are super clueless. As someone from rural Australia that knows lots of people that go kangaroo hunting "rooing" yes, they have legal guns that they take and they also take dogs. I'd say this guy was out "rooing" and the kangaroo got the jump on the dog first. But hunting kangaroos with guns and dogs is very very common in rural areas.

 

[Septimus Prime]

Yo, where did you get this leaked footage for live action Tekken?

 

[BlitzerRadic]

You clearly don't understand the definition of apex predator.

Hmmm.....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apex_predator

Umm... your wiki link says humans are super predators. Super predators prey on apex predators. lol

 

[_Nemo]

Someone needs to dub this vid with Captain Falcon sound effects.

 

[zeioIIDX]

Meet me somewhere!

This made me laugh too damn hard. That's probably one of my top 3 favorite prank calls ever.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Apologize to him.

Oh so we was right. We're not apex, we're better. Super.

 

[BPoole]

This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. The kangaroo's reaction was priceless, and luckily it looks like he didn't get hurt from the punch.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I've seen plenty of Kangaroos in the wild but I've never seen them as staunch as some of the photos in this thread. What the hell are they feeding them?

Use a gun. We're alpha!

 

[Scarecrow]

I need to find out this guy's routine.

You've already been smacked because we call it EB Games over here. It was right to slap

 

[Replicant]

Umm... your wiki link says humans are super predators. Super predators prey on apex predators. lol

Someone doesn't read well...

When hunting with firearms, dogs, falcons, or such tools as spears, snares, clubs, or fishing gear, humans are at least local superpredators

When weapons included, that's a no brainer.
But that's not the definition of Apex predator. And we need those tools to even be a predator.

 

[Kayhan]

How do roos get those gains?

What do they eat to get that swole?

 

[The Albatross]

I need to find out this guy's routine.

Run around on your arms like 60% of the day.

 

[kame-sennin]

the kangaroo got into a boxing stance first

im in tears

 

[Unmasked Ferret]

I'm pretty sure that if I were to make a list with every animal I'd be willing to fight with my bare hands on one side, and every animal I would bitch away from on the other side, kangaroos would probably be on the bitch away side.

So props to this guy for going at it, and then knowing when to stop.

 

[Syphon Filter]

lmao they were boxing, the kangaroo was like "oh no he didnt".

Thanks for posting this. All this talk of roo dominance and no footage was making me sad, but this delivered.

 

[Sora_N]

Holy shit lol. That reaction

 

[theignoramus]

Holy shit.

 

[Dmax3901]

Wait is it just a coincidence that so many people are banned in the first few pages of this thread?

Love that video. I saw that when it screened, and I absolutely laughed my head off.

 

[Spectone]

They eat grass not people.

When I was a young kid I was on my pops farm and made myself a bow and arrow out of sticks and some strings. I went out and tried to shoot a roo. When the adults found out I got in trouble, that was when I learned that kangaroos are dangerous. They can disembowell you with one kick.

Most people killed by kangaroos are driving. Wildlife collisions can be deadly.

Yup, hitting a kangaroo will irreparably wreck your car. They're 100-150kg of solid muscle. But hitting a wombat is worse. They're also solid muscle, but small enough to drive over. As you drive over them, they dent, bend, and tear away the wheel axles.

You're at GameStop and this guy slaps your GF's ass. What do you do?

id scream at my gf for not defending herself

 

[EBreda]

This had me in years. Roo has no idea what hit him.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Sorry but an Alpha predator who has to bring a gun to a wild fight is oxymoron. It means you are not an Alpha predator. You're a beta who tries to be Alpha by bringing deadly weapon. Without the weapon, you're nothing. Of course you can win by bringing a gun to a fight. Anyone can. Winning using your own strength then that's an actual Alpha predator.

In Trumps America people are literally trying to demonize ingenuity and intelligence.

The ability to create tools is unique to humans. Other animals do this in small ways but humans alone have the intelligence to engineer on the level we do. It's why we've become the dominant species.
Other animals have fur to stave off the cold, we create heat and use materials to insulate it. It's how we evolved.
Also I hope you realize the irony behind your statements as you type on a computer to send your message to millions across the globe.

Crows and lesser primates can create tools.

[darkwing-buck]

Who would win in a fight, Floyd Mayweather Jr or this Kangaroo?

 

[Septimus Prime]

Yeah, but the other player didn't pick 'stralian Steve Fox.

 

[DrSlek]

Also FYI if a Kangaroo is threatened it may retreat to a body of water and then fuckin drown whatever is chasing it.

And yeah, one good kick to your torso and your guts will spill out.

So far only humans use tools to create other tools....as far as I know.
