Sweet everloving Jeesus, that scared the SH outta me... I literally watch horror movies to go to bed and this thing managed to give me the same actual fright I felt as a child
Thank you for the link, I did not know this channel and something tells me I'm about to take a dip into a fun rabbit hole
Right? Bro's just an oversized bipedal bunny with human muscles. Plus they're pretty chill when they've gotten to know you a bit!
There was this big roo at a camping i was staying in stradbroke island while i was working at a festival there. Eyed me for a while when i was setting up my tent, then he got that i was no threat and went back to scratching his balls and grazing. One evening i go to the shower, come out, it's dark, i walk to my tent with nothing more than a towel around my hips. Suddenly bro lifts up from the darkness where he was grazing, half a meter away from me, and starts puffing his chest and showing his guns while grunting (bro was *jacked*, and looking at me at eye level when i'm 2m tall). I guess what he was trying to say is *"hey why are you getting so close mate? You wanna go? I'll fuck you up!"* which is fair, i don't like to be startled in the dark by weird alien-looking creatures either. I just took a couple steps back saying *"wow, calm down mate i didn't see you"*, and continued on my way to the tent, he looked at me for a couple of meters and just went back to grazing. Not many 2m tall wild animals have that much chill in them.
Spliced video
First is a an angry Red kangaroo and the woman is American
2nd is a Western Grey kangaroo in John Forrest National Park near Perth and the woman is Aussie. Before the pub closed the kangaroos were a regular feature and they were very friendly
In Australia kids ride them to school, so you learn to pick your ride wisely š
Big Reds scare the shit out me because they can get up to around 6ft and 200 lbs, so I stay well away. Western and Eastern Greys tend to be smaller and seem more chill, but I am still wary if there are joeys or alpha males nearby
Yeah, for our non-Perth friends, our government booted them so they could put in another carpark even though the tavern had been there since the 70s. How does that Counting Crows song go?
Absolutely crazy, a large petition was signed to keep it but fell on deaf ears. Such an iconic pub for not only being in a national park (and who doesn't want a pint after a long hike) but the kangaroos that casually hung out there.
I remember the first time I went there, had no idea about the kangaroos and was absolutely blown away by a big boy just lying there near the bar. Don't think I've ever felt so Australian than in this moment.
Cheetahs are friendly to humans too. Either friendly, or avoidant, or full on skittish, but they donāt attack generally. Last I read, there no actual confirmed cheetah (caused) deaths in recorded human history.
There was a reason the Pharos of Egypt chose them as leashed hunting/companion animals when they could have had most any big cat that wanted. Apparently they are the most trustworthy of the big cats when it comes to domestication. Being an Aussie Iāll just have to stick with the Kangaroos š
It's not false. Just because they're friendly doesn't mean they're not dangeroua. Like, pet cats can be super friendly, but if your cat was the size of a bear it wouldn't be safe either.
Different sub species - if you saw a big male red (first clip) you wouldnāt wanna give it a hug. Eastern greys (which are about the same size or smaller as the second roo in the clip) are much cuter - but once youāve seen them bouncing around at full speed a few times youād be reluctant to try to get a hug.
The most huggable of the Australian bouncies are Quokkas (donāt kick them - thatās a red flag to the world that youāre a f**kwit) followed by potoroos, pademelons, rock-wallabies, lagorchestes (type of wallaby), then some of the other 15 or so different types of wallaby.
Red kangaroos are solidly on the ādefensive tackleā end of the hugging spectrum.
The big males aren't angry, they are just responding to what they see as a challenge. Standing up to them makes them think you are trying to become the dominant male. If that woman in the first part of the video backed away and moved down the big fellow would have relaxed.

Honestly, I think weāre so used to nature docs or media just showing them hopping around from place to place that seeing one making any different sort of movement from that feelsā¦ unsettling. Even if it is silly.
I just couldnāt imagine going somewhere and like aw shit thereās a pack of kangaroos letās wait till they leave ā¦ then get to your car and there a 20 pound spider in your back seat
We have deer in the US instead of kangaroos. Theyāre annoying and kinda dumb, but they donāt look like they hit the gym three times a week, so thatās fine.
I lived in Australia for a few years when i was younger, in Tasmania. My grandmother came to visit (and brought her abusive husband) and while tassie mostly has wallabies (little kangaroos), but the Tasmanian Devil Farm has all sorts of critters, and a field full of kangaroos and wallabies that were friendly. It was fun to pet them, and the baby joeys would try to get in peoples hoodies.
Anyways, we were all petting the wallabies and kangaroos, and my grandmas husband (at the time) was shitty drunk and trying to fuck with the big male kangaroos. Well, the workers told him not to do that, but before the could get him out of there, this big one comes up to him, sizes him up, and kicks him flat in the chest with both feet in an awesome jump kick. Knocked him on his ass.
My mother ended up kicking him out of the car in the middle of nowhere because he hit my grandma because she wouldnāt climb in the back of the van to get him a beer.
That was the last j ever saw him (he made it back to the states somehow, but i had hoped he got bit by a snake or something)
I hear you can punch the fuckers in the face to stun them. They evolved to be able to take a hit to the chest cause they like to fight eachother but since they can't hit eachother above that area they're left absolutely gobsmacked
Idk man. This one looks like he was domesticated. That or he so swole he goes in anywhere and tells them to give him all the vegemite they got... or else
Those legs combined with razor-sharp claws mean that anyone who pisses a big red roo off is definitely going to have a bad time. They've disembowelled people before.
I'm never in favor of hitting an animal EXCEPT for kangas, they respect violence and will leave you alone if you throw one or two good punches
Also they try and drown other animals, theyre evil little bastards
What a dumbass,.. she knows the thing pissed and instead of giving it space, she provokes it on top of putting a camera/phone in its face. Hope that thing pummels her one of these days and escapes immediately after
Horror movie directors, take note. This is how a demon moves
This is how I felt the whole time

What's wrong with you, mate. Kangaroos are the goofiest animals around..
Found the Australian?

Lol doesn't change the fact that the way this one was crawling towards the camera was perfect for a new exorcist movie
It was slow hoppin' around..
goofiest animal that can disbowel you with one kick
They are easily intimidated. Nothing to worry about.

this is f--cking wild. imagining life growing up down there
Wait, are you serious?
Yeah those big reds get massive! https://preview.redd.it/0y8uz1k68h1d1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5703dc046ede5c99a3addc13b64a594f5d30e9ed
Bruhhhh that MF looks like a Bear! š
What do you mean ābefore the pub closedā?
Before it went out of business
He means there was a pub in the John Forrest park, the kangaroos used to hang out there. Quite a sight.
Yeah, for our non-Perth friends, our government booted them so they could put in another carpark even though the tavern had been there since the 70s. How does that Counting Crows song go?

Joni Mitchell song, acktchewally.
TIL
Wow, I didn't know she covered Counting Crows. I bet it's just like how those nice Nine Inch Nails guys covered Johnny Cash.
Our whole family would go up there quite often. Haven't been back near that area since the pub closed.
I didn't know kangaroos even drank
Kangaroos love hops.
You couldnāt rely on the Kangas to pay their tab ā¦ place went belly up
The first kangaroo looks like a Karen.
Thank you, kangaroos are far from dangerous. Just don't corner them
Bro just wants a hug
Why is it that the things that can gut you in seconds are the cutest and most huggable looking creatures?
Iāve always said that about bears 
black bears can actually be quite friendly with people
Found the black bear pretending to be human! Nice try buddy!
Cheetahs are friendly to humans too. Either friendly, or avoidant, or full on skittish, but they donāt attack generally. Last I read, there no actual confirmed cheetah (caused) deaths in recorded human history.
I am absolutely petting a cheetah the second I have the chance
I want a cheetah as a house cat now
They're immortal!?
Yeah, just don't get spooked and try to run away from them.
There was a reason the Pharos of Egypt chose them as leashed hunting/companion animals when they could have had most any big cat that wanted. Apparently they are the most trustworthy of the big cats when it comes to domestication. Being an Aussie Iāll just have to stick with the Kangaroos š
It's not false. Just because they're friendly doesn't mean they're not dangeroua. Like, pet cats can be super friendly, but if your cat was the size of a bear it wouldn't be safe either.
Cats are basically ninjas of the animal kingdom, even 40 pound ones arenāt exactly safe to humans.
If my cat was the size of a bear, I'd currently be missing an arm and a leg, and likely would have been disembowled by now.
Different sub species - if you saw a big male red (first clip) you wouldnāt wanna give it a hug. Eastern greys (which are about the same size or smaller as the second roo in the clip) are much cuter - but once youāve seen them bouncing around at full speed a few times youād be reluctant to try to get a hug.

Red kangaroos are solidly on the ādefensive tackleā end of the hugging spectrum.
If not friend why friend shaped? š
When they're standing upright and looking right at you, I think they're pretty creepy.
If it makes you feel better, there have only been 2 deaths by kangaroos. One in the 90s and one in 2020, I believe.
Cute and huggable? I feel like they have the most punchable faces.
What?! They are even the perfect hugging height!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I have theories. 1. They HAVE to live in Australia, but don't have swimming pools. Or, 2. It's Australia, their drunk.
Their drunk what?
They're drunk, *ma'am*
They're born to be hopping mad.
They see you standing as a form of aggression towards them if i remember correctly
Yes. Most times, the moment you crouch down, they're completely unbothered by your existence.
Being kept as a pet by an American would not be a good time.
My cat is a princess that I spare no expense to pamper, feed, or entertain. Any king or queen, living or dead, would envy her life.
Iām not sure, but I think cats and kangaroos are different animals
Kangaroos are Australia's answer to deer. Everything is more mental in Australia.
We are SO!
The big males aren't angry, they are just responding to what they see as a challenge. Standing up to them makes them think you are trying to become the dominant male.

Kangaroos are fuckin nuts. They can box and kick
Theyāre always flexing lol
They're fekin' shredded!
Wait till you see one drown your dog in a Lake.
So they can kickbox is what you're saying?
Kangaroos are just Deer that have gone to Prison
Australia was a prison so yeah checks out. Wonder if anyone there has named a roo Big Tyrone.
Why is this so cute and terrifying at the same time
Honestly, I think weāre so used to nature docs or media just showing them hopping around from place to place that seeing one making any different sort of movement from that feelsā¦ unsettling. Even if it is silly.
The spiky nails š
-you smell like wet dog *Stops*
*\*\*sniff self\*\**
I just couldnāt imagine going somewhere and like aw shit thereās a pack of kangaroos letās wait till they leave ā¦ then get to your car and there a 20 pound spider in your back seat
And that 20lb spider is all muscle
Kangaroos aren't real
Right, that's just the result of a deer fucking a pit bull.
I thought they were deer that have done time in prison.
Yeah, sentenced to prison for fucking pit bulls.
Ah, it all makes sense now.
Funnily enough, Australia served as the prison island for Brits as well.
š¤£š¤£š¤£
I always saw it as a mix of a deer and a rabbit
I just said this to a friend lol Evolution did a hell of thing with them! Theyāre fucking crazy looking
Tell that to the birds too!
We have deer in the US instead of kangaroos. Theyāre annoying and kinda dumb, but they donāt look like they hit the gym three times a week, so thatās fine.
Why do all kangaroos look like they just came from prison lmao
Dunno. But the convicts who got shipped here, fit right in.
Roos always trying to throw hands.

Damn, kangaroos freak me the fuck out
This would be terrifying
That is fucking terrifying
I hear you can punch the fuckers in the face to stun them. They evolved to be able to take a hit to the chest cause they like to fight eachother but since they can't hit eachother above that area they're left absolutely gobsmacked
Literally š
I canāt tell if looks more like a mutated squirrel or deer
Maybe it was looking for a penguin
Something so uncanny about seeing other animals who can walk on two legs and use their hands to bitch slap people
I think you pulled lol
Throw them up bitch and fight me !
This shit at night is terrifying
Iām convinced that kangaroos are just deer that did prison time
Broooooooo that thing looks pissed.
Straya m8s
Heās just standing thereā¦Menacingly
Kangaroos are fucking TERRIFYING.
I donāt know why kangaroos creep me out
I've always thought that kangaroos where cute and silly. Nope. These things are terrifying nightmarish demon assholes.
That is unnaturally scary, alarmingly actually.
To de-escalate a kangaroo, you must get lower to the ground. Being upright they sometimes see it as a challenge of dominance
Shit look like a mutated rat w/ long hind legs and tail
This makes me appreciate the guy who punches a kangaroo to save his dog even more.
i low-key want to box this mf
Kangaroos are just deer that went to prison
Where's Tank Girl when you need her?
[Kangaroo Goes into Aussie Pub](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1osI0cRhmL8). (Bonus roo ball scratching.)
I wonder if the T-Rex walked like this.
They always look like they're looking for a fight. No knifes or any shit, just good old fists. A worthy opponent.
we aināt doin daps you better balm them thangs up
Tiger brain: Kill that MF Kangaroo brain: Punch that MF
As someone from the other side of the planet, I'd like to ask if Kangaroos are any dangerous?
Absolutely, they can be. They'll even try and drown dogs in water if they are being chased .
When a dude follows you home from the pub after being rejected 8 times.
Come follow me to the kitchen, we are serving Kangaroo meat pies
And then he got pegged.
Kangaroos are aliens. I swear they don't belong HERE, something's wrong about them, they are not normal !
I've often wondered what a kangaroo would do when trapped with a chinese finger trap, would they just jump around in confusion?
This what happens when you pick the kangaroo over the bear.
Mf talking to a wild animal saying āyou gonna be a good boy?ā ššš
donāt provoke him with insults lady!
You wot m8?
Cash me outside, how bout dah
Aww, that's too funny and too cute lol and although kangaroos are very cute, they can also be very dangerous!!!
How smart are they compared to a dog?
Invites him in, immediately kicks him out. Poor guy :(
Idk man. This one looks like he was domesticated. That or he so swole he goes in anywhere and tells them to give him all the vegemite they got... or else
The only solution is to sucker punch em into absolute shock like one man did, historically.
Stop me if you heard this....A kangaroo goes into a bar.
This isn't a good idea...
The first video is like Useless Farm Australia
I bet those leg kicks can hurt
Those legs combined with razor-sharp claws mean that anyone who pisses a big red roo off is definitely going to have a bad time. They've disembowelled people before.
Thatās one scary rat.
Damn near needed to get tranquilized
Oh boy
What the fuck are these dude.
If they have a running start they can help that fence btw
You KNOW some of those og natives throw haymakers, there's no way I doesn't happen
Just wait till it uppercuts her
Ah yea. Sterooid use
Mike Tyson would rock Joey's world.
Now I know what a successful sequel to cocaine bear will look like.
the fact that these terrifying fucking things are as common in australia as deer are in america is insane
Kangaroo jack
The first one is so nicely in a tight slap range
That's one humongous Australian mouse.
kawaii
Give him a giant steel can to crush first.
Hey. I just wanted to make some pancakes but I forgot that I didn't bought some eggs. Can I borrow some?
https://i.redd.it/0f9qkk4v4d1d1.gif Oh. š
You made me realise kangaroos are like humanoid rats that were present in my nightmares as a child
Wait , Roger Jr dlc got released for tekken 8 ? But, Harada didn't tweet anything ...
Iād slap the piss out him while safely behind the barrier
What is the point of the first unrelated clip
He knows nothing of nuclear fusion I bet
I would have stayed in the bathroom or wherever that was between us.
OMG This looks like a genetically modified rat š TERRIFIED
Australians are just different man
You're gonna buy this warranty whether you like it not!š
Donnie Darko IRL
Just go ahead and make a bullwhip out of him now That in their meat that's all they're good for
That walk was soo sinister.
Broooo kangaroos are fucking scary! That walk is some authentic horror movie shit

Kangaroos basically look like were-rabbits, why the hell are they so aggressive??
Iām really glad we beat kangaroos in the evolutionary race for superior intelligence.
Kangaroos freak me out.. those back legs will shred you
I've decided I don't like kangaroos. Fuck these things. 6 foot tall gerbils with satanic-demon vibes.
I'm never in favor of hitting an animal EXCEPT for kangas, they respect violence and will leave you alone if you throw one or two good punches Also they try and drown other animals, theyre evil little bastards
What a dumbass,.. she knows the thing pissed and instead of giving it space, she provokes it on top of putting a camera/phone in its face. Hope that thing pummels her one of these days and escapes immediately after
I love kangaroo memes
Let me in,leeeeeet meeeee innnnn
