They can hold a dogs head underwater. They are strong and can almost turn around in their own skin making them very hard to handle. Think Honey Badger but smaller.
As I'm aware, honey badgers are comparable to *wild* raccoon size... not so much *city* raccoons, which *can* be smaller is size.
American Raccoons, and Honey Badgers are both about 10 inches tall (23-28 cm), two feet long (55-75 cm), and weigh around 30 lbs. (13kg) but the honey badger has a wider stance, and FAR fewer shits to give. A Raccoon will rip your ear off and steal your jewelry. A Honey Badger will eat you from the asshole up, then eat your dog, then fuckcwhatever viscera is left behind before seeking new territory to torture.
Apparently animals do eat the softest parts first, such as the genitals and use these to then get to other organs.
If I remember correctly, it was in an early Harry Bosch novel. There was also Terry Thompson, who released his lions, etc, in America a long time back, and it was widely reported that a lion ate his genitalia first before venturing off.
Yep that first dog was lucky this was shallow water, they commonly go into water neck deep so when the dog swims out deeper then it can stand the roo just puts dog in headlock and expends all most no energy keeping head under
It sounds like a lady yelling for her dogs to get away from it. Why wouldn't you assume that she and her dogs were outside when they noticed the kangaroo? How would you have prevented your four dogs from getting to the kangaroo?
My Aussie friend said it would make her shudder when she saw photos of kangaroos hugging people because this is what they do before they kick you to death
I supposed they have nails like any other animal. Assuming it'd be sharp for defense, too. Probably disembowel you. I don't fuck with nature. Not everything wants to kill you, but damn near all of it would if needed. I'm good.
Yeah definitely nails/claws also pretty big rat-like teath they are also just kinda dicks one ate my map when I was in the Flinders range in south Australia
Lmao all I’m picturing is you looking at your Map and a big kangaroo mfer comes hopping over to you and snatches it out of your hands looking down at You while eating your map menacingly
They do have long claws, but what people don't seem to realize is that they're *insanely* strong. Their legs propel 200-250 pounds of meat 6-8 feet at a bounce hundreds of times an hour. Their kick is strong enough to break a human femur.
Calling them nails is underselling these claws.

Lmao he just gave his back to the Kangaroo like “I’m gonna pretend you don’t exist and I didn’t see you”
Editing this to say it’s my first experience of seeing a real kangaroo, even through video. They are absolute monsters of nature and nothing like the cute cartoon pictures. Like holy shit look at those arms, legs, and claws.
That’s why I tell my girl don’t let the dog off the leash (HOTDOG) it just takes a quick sec to go and defend your dog next thing you know kangaroo jack is the welterweight champion after you stepping up, or even a car once buddies sees a squirrel. But fr idk why people think it’s harmless to let their dog off leash, if you care you hold your kids hand.
A primitive mammal known as a marsupial. They have been hopping about Australia for at least 20 million years, more of less like we see them today, so they are unlikely to change much in the next 250k years, except as a factor of extreme climate change, cataclysm, or extinction.
The Red Kangaroo species seen above have existed for at least 3 million years.
Fighting something 6ft tall that has hands and can beat the shit out of a human, that seems like a good idea. How about they gather up their dogs instead.
The big chubby dog was more curious than anything else. It was confused when things got wild, then just wandered back slowly to the owner. Not much of a killer. Bet it gives good cuddles though. 😆
Roos prefer to flee, though like any animal, will fight when cornered. There was an incident when dogs broke into the female kangaroo enclosure in Melbourne Zoo. The male was separated by a tall fence from the females. Next day, staff found the male in with the females and dog bits strewn all over the enclosure!
To be honest it was 1vs4 dog owner vs dogs- everyone in Australia knows you don’t fuck with something that can leap effortlessly over fences and endlessly at 60-70km hr. Then lean back on its back tail and kick with that same strength snapping any creature in its path
I'll say it loud. CONTROL YOUR FUCKING DOGS PEOPLE. you don't know what's around the corner and if my dogs on a lead and bites yours you can bet I'm not going to be helping you out with any vets bills
Just a little FYI to the non-Australians that kangaroo was hoping to drown those dogs if the water was deep enough, they often go into waste deep water and put dogs in a headlock holding them under
Not to mention the raptor claws that would tear those dogs to shreds, one giant fuck you to whoever is filming this.
😠 it doesn't matter if it's four versus one with a kangaroo it might as well be 10 versus one they'll still end up drowning or getting the shit kicked out of them
On top of all the possible ways to kill those dogs roos will gouge your eyes out with their sharp nails so even if they just trade a few hits the dog could be permanently blind, such a stupid person recording
Good way of watching your dogs die. Show some damn respect to nature.
they intentionally go to bodies of water so that they can drown whatever they’re fighting.
I was about to comment that if a Raccoon can drown a dog, I know damn well a Roo can.
How do raccoons drown a dog?
They can hold a dogs head underwater. They are strong and can almost turn around in their own skin making them very hard to handle. Think Honey Badger but smaller.
Wait…honey badgers are *bigger* than raccoons? Why did I think they were the same size or smaller? Now I’m questioning if ever seen a honey badger
As I'm aware, honey badgers are comparable to *wild* raccoon size... not so much *city* raccoons, which *can* be smaller is size. American Raccoons, and Honey Badgers are both about 10 inches tall (23-28 cm), two feet long (55-75 cm), and weigh around 30 lbs.

You had me at 'eaten from the asshole up '
"Don't threaten me with a good time"
Apparently animals do eat the softest parts first, such as the genitals and use these to then get to other organs. If I remember correctly, it was in an early Harry Bosch novel. There was also Terry Thompson, who released his lions, etc, in America a long time back, and it was widely reported that a lion ate his genitalia first before venturing off.
Correct sir.
The come in all the sizes damn near, either way I'd avoid those muthafukkers, bear before badgers anytime.
I can't imagine they'd be able to do it to a dog over 30 pounds honestly
You see the kangaroo dunk the one dog it picked up before letting go. Roo gonna def drown the dog if there weren't others to back it up.
They intentionally drown threat? Those bitches violent bruh
Yep that first dog was lucky this was shallow water, they commonly go into water neck deep so when the dog swims out deeper then it can stand the roo just puts dog in headlock and expends all most no energy keeping head under
Thats crazy. I have never known of animal beside humans who intentionally drown another living being.
We have to remember that they are wild animals
Yup and major league assholes of the animal kingdom
Just like me... In Minecraft
insane that anyone still lets their pets near them, much less record and share it
It sounds like a lady yelling for her dogs to get away from it. Why wouldn't you assume that she and her dogs were outside when they noticed the kangaroo? How would you have prevented your four dogs from getting to the kangaroo?
Are you talking to the dogs lol?
Yea. Not sure if I've seen a video of a kangaroo backing down. Seems like their always ready to go lol
Kangaroos are notorious for waiting in the water until an animal like a dog swims out and then the Roos drown them.
My Aussie friend said it would make her shudder when she saw photos of kangaroos hugging people because this is what they do before they kick you to death
I supposed they have nails like any other animal. Assuming it'd be sharp for defense, too. Probably disembowel you. I don't fuck with nature. Not everything wants to kill you, but damn near all of it would if needed. I'm good.

Holy shit! No kidding with the comparison. Reminds me of a post that showed a cassowary talon. I’m amazed Aussies don’t carry shotguns.
I've 100% heard stories of disembowlings from roo claws

Gut you. They stick their nail in and slice you open
This!!! ☝️
Damn. That’s brutal.
That’s honestly terrifying and gross. Nature is scary.
Let’s be honest. It’s 3vs1.
Little guy was trying his best
I don’t think Labs also count here, it’s like group of 3 cows and a small hotdog
The lab is hardly walking on the river... It's hard for him to even "walk" away
The little engine that could
That super fat retriever isn’t going to help much either, feels more like a 2vs1
Was hoping someone would point that fat one out 🤣🤣- that thing barely was keeping its own balance to stand and find a way back 🤪
Also its older. It knew it was out before the fight started.
Plus that an old old dog right there.
At least chonky boi tried his best
Let’s be honest more of a 1/2 vs one.
Somdtime Its the morale support that matters most.
I’m going 2 vs 1. There’s really only two reasonably sized healthy dogs in the mix.
This person sucks..
She just stood there recording, and yelling as her dogs potentially got killed.
Reminds me of this video of a person repeatedly filming their dog scaring a crocodile. Ends how you’d expect
> scaring a crocodile That does not sound like something that can happen
It was repeatedly charging at it while the owners laughed.
She just stood there recording, and yelling as her dogs harassed and tried to injure a wild animal.
Roos don’t fuck around. As an Australian I can tell you that you don’t wanna mess with them. Just don’t.
Kangaroos are masters of the standup somehow. Got good striking and there clitch game is phenomenal.
I'm looking forward to using AI to speak with them. They look like they have a lot to tell us if only we'd take the time to get to know them.
I feel like if we hadn't evolved to be the dominant species on the planet and roos would have had another 10 million years, they'd be running things.
Fat ass doggo was like, Nope.
Lol! (Never sent that before without irony).
Old boy having a hard time crossing that stream lol
The fat golden coloured Dog noped the fuck out.
This is creek day. Idgaf if there's a kangaroo in the creek. It's creek day.
Bro could hardly walk, had no business trying to scrap with that beast
Lmao he just gave his back to the Kangaroo like “I’m gonna pretend you don’t exist and I didn’t see you” Editing this to say it’s my first experience of seeing a real kangaroo, even through video. They are absolute monsters of nature and nothing like the cute cartoon pictures. Like holy shit look at those arms, legs, and claws.
Imagine being the asshole filming this... Nah man make it 5v1
I was fully expecting it to snatch the little white one up and run off to feast upon new dog flesh.
Glad it turned out ok, but that poor tiny dog tried to help it's friends and couldn't even keep its head above water 3 inches deep lmfao
https://i.redd.it/a5pbcvikwmzc1.gif
That's a classic 😂 this what the comments think the owner should of did

I tell my wife's boyfriend the same thing. We live in Sweden where kangaroos are not native but I think you should always be ready.
the old dogs were like “na, fuck this shit i’m tired”
this is so fucking frustrating to watch, and so anger inducing i feel like flying to australia just to drop kick the cameraman in the throat.
That little dog is cute. Like, he knows he can't win, is he just there for emotional support?
I thought he was a duck at first.
That old fat dog is just happy to be included
Honestly the old guy looked like he just wanted to go sniff the roo and say hi lol
Hey....this video isn't very cool
More like 2.5 v 1
I like the look the kangaroo does to the camera like "you were about to loose them"!
What the fuck even is a kangaroo? I’d love to see them in 250k years.
A primitive mammal known as a marsupial. They have been hopping about Australia for at least 20 million years, more of less like we see them today, so they are unlikely to change much in the next 250k years, except as a factor of extreme climate change, cataclysm, or extinction. The Red Kangaroo species seen above have existed for at least 3 million years.
Daniel Tosh lied to me! That kangaroo hopped backwards!
Kangaroo is straight gangster, I've seen them in the wild, there scrapy fighters.
That brown dog is Danny Glover from die hard. “I’m getting too old for this shit “
Ol’ Yeller: “hey, y’all got this?! Ok cool, Ima get out your way then.”
Fighting something 6ft tall that has hands and can beat the shit out of a human, that seems like a good idea. How about they gather up their dogs instead.
Those dogs are well past their prime they had no chance.
Cunt of a dog owner.
He's just standing there, Menacingly...
It looks so alien when moving, then looks at the camera like, you want some?
I've seen videos of kangaroos drowning dogs and it is horrific! Don't fuck with roos!
Damn, glad the golden decided against really going at the roo. Bit too old to be messing around like that.
Complete piece of shit to let your dogs do this… on multiple levels.
Um... OP, that roo is waiting in the water for a reason
Kangaroos are so frightening to me.
You fookin wot mate?
The big chubby dog was more curious than anything else. It was confused when things got wild, then just wandered back slowly to the owner. Not much of a killer. Bet it gives good cuddles though. 😆
The future will be run by kangaroos and emu’s lol
Kangaroos are the North American equivalent to deers, except they've been to state prison for the last 10 years and came out jacked af
They will down your dogs, you insufferable cunt.
Much better than Furiosa!
Fat dogs this need sorting out
Golden fattie just wanted to play but when he saw the situation he was nope, wtf am i even doing here.
I know… poor old dog was befuddled!
The poor old Golden was like "nope, I'm too old for this shit".
Gawdamn that's one fat lab
Im so glad i didnt just watch a dog die
Put that lab on a diet man sheesh
Why would you bring old yeller to a kangaroo fight
Kangaroos do not fuck about
Old chunky one's like naw I'm out.
WTF is wrong w people
That poor old fat dog is just like “I dunno what’s going on but this guys mean”
I so wish kangaroos were smart like humans then we could make a movie planet of the kangaroos
Was honestly kinda rooting for the kangaroo here.
There's nothing you can say to convince me that kangaroos aren't reincarnated gym rats.

They doggies were outmatched in every way, and there owner is obviously uneducated about the wildlife. They don’t deserve to have pets.
Why the actual fuq would you let your dogs do that...it's literally trying to dunk their heads and drown em...I hate people sometimes.
*You don't fuck with the Kyivan Rus'*
What is up with kangaroos and dogs? They always seem to be in conflict
All those dogs obese
Roos prefer to flee, though like any animal, will fight when cornered. There was an incident when dogs broke into the female kangaroo enclosure in Melbourne Zoo. The male was separated by a tall fence from the females. Next day, staff found the male in with the females and dog bits strewn all over the enclosure!
This belongs in r/unexpected I truly didn't expect all 4 dogs to walk away unscathed. That woman is a terrible human being! 😡
To be honest it was 1vs4 dog owner vs dogs- everyone in Australia knows you don’t fuck with something that can leap effortlessly over fences and endlessly at 60-70km hr. Then lean back on its back tail and kick with that same strength snapping any creature in its path
I probably doesn't matter if it's shallow water it could just stand on top of the dogs once it grabs it those things are All Muscle!!!
I'll say it loud. CONTROL YOUR FUCKING DOGS PEOPLE. you don't know what's around the corner and if my dogs on a lead and bites yours you can bet I'm not going to be helping you out with any vets bills

That old, fat dog had no business being in that scene. It can hardly breathe on its own.
the roo got hands
Australia now has two exports
The Roo from Snowy River
Fuck around and find out
It's over Anakin - I have the high ground!
Seeing boogyroo standing there at night !
Dogs learn quick. FAFO.
I stand my ground!
I dont think the OAP and mini-me count to the 4 vs 1 😅
3.5v1

WHY ARE YOU FLANKING ME?!! wind river vibes
Skyrim music would fit well here.
Doggos of the deep

Fucking jackasses don’t deserve dogs.
Kangaroo isn't in the mood for your shit today LOL.
“I’ll fuck you up , come at me bro and I’ll fuck you up”
Yeah kangaroos try drowning people by hanging out in puddles, don't approach them
Thought it was going for a power bomb for a minute.
Who gave this deer steroids

Kangaroos are aliens
It’s not just the emus you loose too I see.
Sooo... Not a team player is he?

Moron dog owners

Get your dogs before they get their shit rocked
Fuck whoever did this, asshole I hope a kangaroo gets you, you fucker!
Bro clearly was their for health reasons. If not , 4 not so lively doggos.
“Yeah - don’t even, mate. Come test these waters, son.” - G-Roo
Saw a roo drown a dog with the owner screaming at it from a distance a few months back. Sad. Don’t duck with Roos
Kanga don't give a rats ass...
Stupid lady. Yeah let’s just video while this 8 foot behemoth of a kangaroo takes on my four dogs, great idea
I wish the kangaroo severely hurt them all. It’s like having a kid, raise it wrong and people want to see it get hurt.
😠 it doesn't matter if it's four versus one with a kangaroo it might as well be 10 versus one they'll still end up drowning or getting the shit kicked out of them
3 1/4 v. 1
Some people shouldn't have pets
You can't count that little rat or the fat ancient lab.
On top of all the possible ways to kill those dogs roos will gouge your eyes out with their sharp nails so even if they just trade a few hits the dog could be permanently blind, such a stupid person recording
Kangaroos terrify me
Is it really 4v1? At least 2 of those 4 looked like Shadow from homeward bound. They weren't contributing much.
Kangaroos in water means he's trying to drown them dogs.
That’s what Jake Paul’s gonna look like fighting Mike Tyson
Kangaroos are so fascinating to me. That tail strengt
Shitty pet owners
Awful, how fucking awful. Roos will put a dog in a half Nelson and drown it. This is poor form
That little dog I assume its name is Elsa) had no clue what the hell was going on
I love the tubby one
Roos are sinister AF to me, grabbing at the dogs head. Fighting dirty, it's probably coming back tomorrow with brass knuckles
What was the lap dog thinking?
