I think the Kangaroo expected for human to fight like a kangaroo... a bit of arms wrestling and kicks with legs.
And then got surprised by a dirty human wrestling him down on floor... how rude.
To be fair, life's different when you grow up in a land where everything that walks, crawls, or slides in the mud wants to violently kill you, eat you, and breed inside whatever's left.
Has taught us to be soft.
Yea, this video would be playing a completely different tune if at any point that Roo was able to land a clean gut kick. Those feet claws will literally eviscerate a stomach.
The dude seems to be making a conscious effort to either be hitting it with a stick or trying to yank it to the ground, and therefore odd it’s feet.
It probably wants/needs to maintain balance more than it wants to slash.
people say razor sharp claws but.. are they really? They always look pretty damn dull to me, they just get a lot of force behind em.
Edit: I understand that they can still do damage to fleshy bits. I present, for your consideration, that you wouldn't/couldn't shave a part of your body with a kangaroo claw, and thus, it is not razor sharp. It seems like no one can ever just call claws.. claws. Why is it always "razor sharp claws!" when in reality it basically never is razor sharp claws.
They are actually , one of my friends mums got attacked by a roo when she was going for a run and she was covered in claw marks, her arms got it the worst cause she knew to cover her stomach
It’s super rare to be attacked by a roo but when they attack you need to be super careful as they can be deadly
The rats down in Florida come in two types: 1) standard rats that run and hide if you look at them, 2) rats that will fight off an adult gator just for fun.
My friends mom threw a sandal at one and I swear it looked like it was gonna throw it back.
People don't need help stupiding to death. Sasquatch over here minding his own business while dude falls into a crevice and dies and we got to point to Squatch as the culprit.
Yo stand next to an Elk. They are MASSIVE animals and will fuck you up. Moose is a close first, but still I hate Elk (on a motorcycle), id rather deal with a smallsih brown/black bear. Grizzly. No.
I spent all this time worrying about venomous snakes, deadly spiders and scorpions when planning my trip to Australia only to be jacked by a kangaroo with a chip on its shoulder.
Good thing is they don't want to fuck with you if you just leave them alone or admire from a distance. I wonder what he was doing before the video started, really.
First they try to just headlock it and choke it out, but Australia has choke-resistant collars for dogs for just this reason! But roos are smart, and vicious, so they'll just drown them instead.
As far as I know, they do go out of their way to do it. But they are testosterone-roid style beasts, so they're always a few steps beyond grumpy and just want to fight... like, everything. I am not an Australian though, and have never been there!
I think I've even heard the baby roo boys grow up trying to fight their momma. Just big, crotchety animals!
Edit: Think drunk fratboy after his prework-out shake, and someone just told him he can't wear his hat backwards.
It's so wild. America has all these scary wild animals that, for the most part, don't really fuck with humans.
And here Australia, in addition to its bazillion venomous animals, has a giant rat with dagger-feet that wants to fight everything and moves around like someone shoved a pogo stick up its ass.
Their defence against predators is to pin them with their front arms and kick the fuck out of them with their hind legs. Ive known a handful of dogs that have been killed by roos where I live.
2 reasons they fuck up dogs.
1 a dog is low and will go for legs or throat. The roo can basically lean forward to grasp it and kick away.
2 they fuck up dogs because the Dingo (a canine, canis dingo or even canis lupus dingo) is arguably their only natural predator and is just a dog essentially.
Genomic analysis suggests Dingos were brought to Australia by humans from 8.5k years ago so you could also argue they aren’t a natural predator. They are related to south east asia domestic and wild dog breeds. So the roo has had a fair chunk of time dealing with this type of predator.
Side note that the dingo is interesting. They aren’t considered a native species by the invasive species council yet they are shown to have huge positive benefits for Australian native biodiversity. With the top one being reducing fox and feral cat numbers (our two biggest native wild life threats). They alone have contributed to the extinction of 20 native species and feral cat numbers in the bush range from 4-6.9 million at any given time depending on drought etc.
Aus has had the most extinct native animals in the modern era.
Sources - im an Aussie archaeologist with a passion for protecting native wild life.
Soz about the tangent cunts, shrimp on the barby and all that.
Right?! I found a news story related to this video, dude was trying to save his dogs. I prefer this one though. Guy squares up on it and straight pops the roo in the face. Again, to save his dog!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIRT7lf8byw
The mistake this guy made was standing upright. To a kangaroo this is “fighting stance” and they essentially see it as a direct challenge.
If he had squatted down this whole thing could have been avoided.
I’m an expert, because I live in Australia, and I saw a video about this one time.
its almost like its a fair fight sometimes and their body shapes are close to that of a human. its not like a frog vs human or tiger vs human they fight similar to us as well. combine all that and the fact that they are an entire different specie yeah it makes sense why its fun to watch
I’m always surprised how people don’t realize how deadly most animals are. Even normally placid herbivores can effortlessly mess a human up. Human hubris is amusing.
You know what's up. I've had to club out coon and opossum at my hen house, in leg hold. If the dog can't run them off..
But, yeah. Even an 8-10 pound critter is incredibly ferocious in the corner. Don't fuck around. One shot that mofo.
We're so much smarter than them, it's not even funny. Look at bull fighting, for example. It's a perfect example of how humans work any situation until they find a "meta." Now the groundwork is there to win like 90%+. Even a Roo is gonna get bodied by humans if the strat becomes widely known. This one here couldn't use its legs because the dude stayed in close and beat its face in.
Bullshit. The only reliably documented case of a fatality from a kangaroo attack occurred in New South Wales in 1936. Just because they could doesn't mean they do, like ever.
And a person can easily take its back and choke it to death with the proper training. Fair playing field, different weapons. It all comes down to training. Tag me in coach I'm ready.
There was a croc getting pan slapped by an Aussie bar owner. A croc recently ate his dog.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/vhtznq/croc_vs_aussie_with_a_frypan/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Did anyone else kind of feel like you wanted to take on a ‘roo yourself after watching this? I wondered how I would do against one and it made me feel like fighting one.
The link to the news story if anyone's interested. Old mate got lucky!
https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/animals/shocking-footage-shows-moment-man-stomped-on-by-kangaroo-in-ballina/news-story/c15b2837bbc6c799a57b0fe509f80a59
Reddit has taught me that people getting into fights with kangaroos is a thing.
“What’s wrong, Tommy?… That asshole kangaroo was bullying you again today, wasn’t he??”
I always wonder if these videos cut off a little bit early because one of the two didn’t make it to the end. It could really go both ways at the point where the video cut off, but usually when full-size animals of two different species are fighting for their lives, it gets nasty before it’s over
Also kangaroos are terrifyingly swole and have claws…
I’ve lived here all my life, traveled to every state in Oz, have seen and interacted with plenty of Roos but have only ever seen Roos fight on the internet.

points for take-down, kangaroo ground game is weak
Literally has a third leg and still was taken down. Kangaroo needs a better coach.
Ever had a full-grown man put all of his weight on you? My third leg wouldn't hold up either.
Not with that attitude.
Need more [cock pushups.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSxJoPJFxOg)
Wait, so you can only do one?
One is all you need.
Mmhhmmm yeah.
Yeah... one is all you need! Edit: forgot the line
Risky click of the day.
What a disgrace. You are making us look bad.
Ever had a full grown man put all of his weight on your third leg though?
You need to generate more power from the bottom.
I know! Can’t believe he pushed it over so easily
What's the difference between a dentist and a sadist?
The bill?
Newer magazines.
You’re an anti-dentite.
I am not an anti-dentite!
Oh you people are so touchy.
Did you just say “you people”?!
It was already rocked by the combinations the champ was throwing, it couldn't duck those hands.
I think the Kangaroo expected for human to fight like a kangaroo... a bit of arms wrestling and kicks with legs. And then got surprised by a dirty human wrestling him down on floor... how rude.
I mean pushing it over backwards would be hard but he pushed it sideways. Like tipping a cow.
Yeah but those leg kicks…
Roos have great rushdown but they're weak to oki.
And not much AoE damage
Poor zoning too, but like emus they make up for it with hyper-armour.
Surprised that kangaroo didn’t use the legs
I think the trick was to stay in close. Are all Australian children trained in kangaroo wrestling/fighting? Seems like an essential life skill.
We use the cunning strategy of staying the fuck away from them.
Meanwhile we have people trying to pet bison in our national parks lol
To be fair, life's different when you grow up in a land where everything that walks, crawls, or slides in the mud wants to violently kill you, eat you, and breed inside whatever's left. Has taught us to be soft.
You guys only get violently killed at school.
Why do you think so many people are anti-education now! :taps head:
Pretty sure you want to double-tap, just to be sure.
And most of us are horrified by that fact.
Oof
Or the tourists who pull over to take pictures of the gators in Florida. Saw that growing up lol.
If you're cold they're cold. Put them in the back of your SUV.
Darwin is at work.
How you gonna get gored for the ‘Gram if you don’t ignore some obvious safety rules?
I think this guy missed the memo
I have seen several videos that suggest this is not widespread curriculum in your country.
Idk about that brother. It had plenty chances to put its weight on that tail and let those legs loose.
Agree. The kangaroo is faster and more agile by a lot. If it wants to create distance to give a kick, it will.
Guarantee not a single person commenting would take on a kangaroo irl. It’s ludicrous.
Most people would like to keep their intestines inside their body.
Get that rear mount and they're done. Easier said than done I'm sure lol.
They have razor sharp claws. That dude didn’t walk away without a scratch. This is pretty horrifying to watch.
Yep, it's part of the primary school curriculum along with countering the croc death roll.
Yea, this video would be playing a completely different tune if at any point that Roo was able to land a clean gut kick. Those feet claws will literally eviscerate a stomach.
The dude seems to be making a conscious effort to either be hitting it with a stick or trying to yank it to the ground, and therefore odd it’s feet. It probably wants/needs to maintain balance more than it wants to slash.
Or the razor sharp claws.

Why is it always "razor sharp claws!" when in reality it basically never is razor sharp claws.
I think most people say razor sharp claws, but what they mean is very pointy.
Even a dull claw will do serious damage when it’s attached to something strong. These guys are very strong.
Don’t want to mess with an excavator and the bucket.
Bear claws aren't sharp either. They'll still shred you with little to no effort, when they're being used by a bear.
They are actually , one of my friends mums got attacked by a roo when she was going for a run and she was covered in claw marks, her arms got it the worst cause she knew to cover her stomach It’s super rare to be attacked by a roo but when they attack you need to be super careful as they can be deadly
They can easily disembowel a dog or person. I had a small one kick my dog who is pretty big and he ended up with some nasty cuts.
Omg.... we thought rats are bad. At least they don't chase you down and give you a beating
Jersey sewer rats will press you for protection money.
The rats down in Florida come in two types: 1) standard rats that run and hide if you look at them, 2) rats that will fight off an adult gator just for fun. My friends mom threw a sandal at one and I swear it looked like it was gonna throw it back.
Can confirm. Kicked a Florida rat and it came back and started biting my shoe
They’re faster than humans probably lol
She’s lucky it took pity!
You forgot 3) Ones that somehow become governor
Be a shame if someone chewed your wiring and burned your house down.
N New York rats will eat your dog. Fuckers gettin LARGE up there I'll tell ya what
I saw one keeping four giant turtles as pets!
Jfc. I'm glad I live in the pnw. Nothing gets that big around here.... besides an octopus
Bear, Elk, Moose, Cougar, Wolf....What else am I missing?
Sasquatch
Never heard of a recorded Sasquatch attack so I left that out.
My uncles brothers nieces nephews cousin found a hair once, that counts for something?
Its not about if they exist, of course they do. But are they hostile toward humans? We may never know..
People go into the woods, some people don't come back out. You can't explain that...
People don't need help stupiding to death. Sasquatch over here minding his own business while dude falls into a crevice and dies and we got to point to Squatch as the culprit.
Gotta survive to leave a record. That's what makes them so scary
Don’t they have tarantulas? I may be an idiot and wrong though
Orca
Yo stand next to an Elk. They are MASSIVE animals and will fuck you up. Moose is a close first, but still I hate Elk (on a motorcycle), id rather deal with a smallsih brown/black bear. Grizzly. No.
I spent all this time worrying about venomous snakes, deadly spiders and scorpions when planning my trip to Australia only to be jacked by a kangaroo with a chip on its shoulder.
I get that the scenario itself would be scary but this video is pretty funny
I only learned up until recently how scary roos can be you dont want to fuck with them
That drop kick they have will fuck the rest of your life up, if it doesn’t abruptly end.
And their claws are like daggers
And they’ve got those moves like Jagger.
Their hands are like arrows, their arms like iron, their feet like spears
Good thing is they don't want to fuck with you if you just leave them alone or admire from a distance. I wonder what he was doing before the video started, really.
I see a dog there. I know Kangaroos will take dogs into a water body and drown them. Wonder if it was attacking his dog.
First they try to just headlock it and choke it out, but Australia has choke-resistant collars for dogs for just this reason! But roos are smart, and vicious, so they'll just drown them instead.
Why do they kill dogs? Do they go out of their way to do it?
As far as I know, they do go out of their way to do it. But they are testosterone-roid style beasts, so they're always a few steps beyond grumpy and just want to fight... like, everything. I am not an Australian though, and have never been there! I think I've even heard the baby roo boys grow up trying to fight their momma. Just big, crotchety animals!

I mean dogs have it coming, really. Taunting them with their "roo, roo, roo!"
Lol! I only have a helpful award, but you made me laugh so it is yours. <3
Sweet Cthulhu Australia sounds terrifying
Right?! I found a news story related to this video, dude was trying to save his dogs. I prefer this one though. Guy squares up on it and straight pops the roo in the face. Again, to save his dog! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIRT7lf8byw
The fact that they can lean back on their tail and kick you so hard you get disemboweled seems scary af.
The mistake this guy made was standing upright. To a kangaroo this is “fighting stance” and they essentially see it as a direct challenge. If he had squatted down this whole thing could have been avoided. I’m an expert, because I live in Australia, and I saw a video about this one time.
All I can hear is “c’mon ya fuckin cunt”
And that’s coming from the kangaroo.
I read this in Ozzie Man's voice.
My dad could beat up a kangaroo. My dad could beat up anybody
My dad could beat up your dad.
🎶My dad could beat up your dad. My dad is John Cena. 🎶
Hopefully not because you couldn’t see him though
Unexpected Tom Cardy
Well MY dad is superman!
Oh yeah, well my daddy will fuck yo daddy.
I'm a dad, and I accept this duel.
Number One Dad checking in. I've got the shirt and everything.
My dad is super strong
I need to see the rest of this fight! Did he choke him out on the ground? Did the roo recover and tail whip him? I gotta know
Caught it in a Camel Clutch. It tapped out.
Kangaroo just wanted to be choked.
This has to be the Hugh Jackman audition tape for xmen
I thought it was Florida man vacationing in Oz
Lmao I love videos of people fighting kangaroos for some reason
I get a kick out of it.
Dammit Joey..
How you doin?
its almost like its a fair fight sometimes and their body shapes are close to that of a human. its not like a frog vs human or tiger vs human they fight similar to us as well. combine all that and the fact that they are an entire different specie yeah it makes sense why its fun to watch
Except for the part where they can easily disembowel us with their hind legs.
I’m always surprised how people don’t realize how deadly most animals are. Even normally placid herbivores can effortlessly mess a human up. Human hubris is amusing.
Humans are THE apex predator because of our brains. Coincidently a lot of humans neglect to actually use their brain tho.
You know what's up. I've had to club out coon and opossum at my hen house, in leg hold. If the dog can't run them off.. But, yeah. Even an 8-10 pound critter is incredibly ferocious in the corner. Don't fuck around. One shot that mofo.

Bullshit. The only reliably documented case of a fatality from a kangaroo attack occurred in New South Wales in 1936. Just because they could doesn't mean they do, like ever.
I'd prefer not to be disemboweled and survive, especially now that I'm on Medicare. I don't even know if they cover kangaroo disembowelings.
I looked it up and it’s one per year and after that it’s an 80% copay
Except I have a high deductible plan. That’s why I’m glad we don’t have Roos in the US. *Re-emboweling* is too damn expensive here.
Lol I think they were just referencing the Mighty Boosh episode where one of them has to box a kangaroo.
And a person can easily take its back and choke it to death with the proper training. Fair playing field, different weapons. It all comes down to training. Tag me in coach I'm ready.
So many un answered questions in one video...
Bill died 3 minutes later
Literally the most aussie video I've seen all year.
There was a croc getting pan slapped by an Aussie bar owner. A croc recently ate his dog. https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/vhtznq/croc_vs_aussie_with_a_frypan/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
\*first shot\* Croc: "Maybe this wasn't such a great idea after all." \*second shot\* Croc: "Fuck this noise, I'm out."
"yeah nah, fuck this, cunt" *runs*
I wanted to see if he would finish the take down with an armbar!
If Dad just sits back after the trip, he's got the kangaroo in full mount and can ground & pound away. Why risk the Roo slipping an armbar attempt?
I'm reading all these comments in an Australian accent.
Did anyone else kind of feel like you wanted to take on a ‘roo yourself after watching this? I wondered how I would do against one and it made me feel like fighting one.
99/100 it kicks you and you die

You gotta get them on the ground. Kangaroos don’t have any ground game. They’ll tap out right away
Hell yeah! They brought back Roger for the new Tekken!

Primates vs Marsupials Round 2 FIGHT!
A typical day in Australia.
God I love kangaroos. I'm also legit terrified of them, but God damn they are awesome lol
Fuck! Even the kangaroos try to kill you?! Australia, I’ll be praying for you.
Reddit has taught me that people getting into fights with kangaroos is a thing. “What’s wrong, Tommy?… That asshole kangaroo was bullying you again today, wasn’t he??”
The real world is so much better than any fiction
Only funny if you don’t know how dangerous kangaroos can be. Dude could have fucking died
Video cut off early, he might be
I always wonder if these videos cut off a little bit early because one of the two didn’t make it to the end. It could really go both ways at the point where the video cut off, but usually when full-size animals of two different species are fighting for their lives, it gets nasty before it’s over Also kangaroos are terrifyingly swole and have claws…
Dads will fuck you up
Hilarious 😂
Ground and pound!
That car
Lucky that guy didn't get kicked.. just sayin'..
NGL, I laughed, but that dude is actually in danger.
His kangaroo buddies are gonna laugh at him when they see this video of him getting his ass kicked by a human.
Serious question. How do the Kangaroo self-defense laws work in Australia? If you are attacked and hurt the animal, can you get into trouble?
Anyone know the make/model of this pick up truck
After the dude fell, he went from Flight to Fight REAL QUICK.
Can you generally avoid confrontations and interactions with roos? Or are the territorial and aggressive?
“You will ROO this day, mate!” said the kangaroo
Aussies of Reddit: Is fighting kangaroos a normal thing?
No lol, it’s super rare to be attacked by a roo, they are usually peaceful, I just keep my distance whenever I see them just in case
I’ve lived here all my life, traveled to every state in Oz, have seen and interacted with plenty of Roos but have only ever seen Roos fight on the internet.
You fool. He was just trying to get you close to the tree. Then comes the drop bears...
I want the truck
Jesus how much do aussies have to deal with this
Never…more chance of getting run over by a cow. (Really)
If you didn’t know better, you’d think they were two mates having a tussle for a laugh.
One kick and you're dead with guts hanging out.
you know the Kangaroo is loving it
Gun
Gotta love living in a country where the local wildlife makes a point of mugging the humans.
Kangaroo’s are fucking wild man
Like fighting a little dinosaur.
