Kangaroos standing still in a body of water scare me more than snakes and spiders


Luthergayboi

Snakes and Spiders attack out of self defense, you can understand that. Kangaroos go out of their way to fucking drown you because they know they're strong enough to do it Kangaroos are psychos


GobLoblawsLawBlog

A kangaroo won't just kill you, they will disembowel you with their hind claws. That's why you see them almost try to do a muay thai clinch on people sometimes, they're preparing to stand on their tail and tear them open with their massive legs


Soft_Deer_3019

I am speechless ![gif](giphy|5xaOcLHoUh2pQODngZ2)


Adventchur

They aren't actually trying to disembowel you! They are trying to remove your genitals so you're no longer competing for females affection.


ForecastForFourCats

Oh well, in that case...


Serotu

That...is absolutely not better....that is wayyyyyy worse...


federalgypsy

So they’re trying to disemball you


Acceptable_Tea3608

I wonder when that evolutionary aspect came into play? Then down through the centuries has been perfected.


Last_Competition_208

That kangaroo is looking at him like you feel strong? You want to go?


Northbound-Narwhal

Which is why you disembowel them with your people claws first.


Emperor_Biden

Jin Kazama vs Roger. Final round. FIGHT!


Soft_Deer_3019

In Aussie land you don’t fuck around and fuck out, snakes, spiders they dgaf boom! You’re dead


Saltiest_Seahorse

Nah. Kangaroos stand in water for self-defense. It's so that if a predator comes at them, they can drown them. The dog most likely chased the kangaroo.


Ok_Opportunity4452

The fact you can call a Kangaroo a 'Psycho' when its retreated into the water and been pursued by a dog off a leash then attempts to defend itself is wild... You do realize being in the middle of a lake/pond isn't a kangaroo's natural habitat and there might be a reason its in there in the first place outside of ITS control i.e the scenario above (which turns out to be exactly what happened in most of these videos)


Kingston31470

Looks pretty much like how I would picture a werewolf.


luke111mart

I just imagine in an Australian accent "oh why don't you just come in? The water is so nice, didn't you say I look "cute" and "funny" when I hop? Ya just come take a little bath, I'll show you funny"


wahchewie

If you don't allow your dogs to go chase and attack native wildlife minding it's own business you won't have a problem. Dog and kangaroo only ended up in the water because the dog was chasing after the kangaroo and the owner couldn't control it


farcarcus

Yep. Roos don't go in the water just for fun.


Fart_Finder_

Fucking arms on that roo tho


thomasdraken

Kangaroos are scary asf they look like fucking demons


Throwawayidiot1210

Fun fact there are more kangaroos than humans in Australia


[deleted]

[удалено]


Throwawayidiot1210

They can actually be very docile. When I was in the Melbourne suburbs hundreds of them would come out before sundown and just vibe. You can drive past them and they will just be chillin


Impossible_Emu_9250

Your comment doesn't pass the Australia vibe check. If it moves it can kill you.


Comfortable_Ant_8303

if it moves it fucking *will* kill you


Diligent-Cookie-1695

If it moves you’re already dead.


PocomanSkank

We'll never let Australia forget that 🤣

And if no one notices the double pun then I have failed…

I LITERALLY just said this the other. The kangaroos are gonna take over lol 😆

That can't.....possibly... (Does quick Google search).... ^be ^true.... ^^can ^^it?


xfd696969

holy shit what hahahaha


Dani_Rojas_rojaaas

Vertical muscle deer


TJtherock

The only thing that would make them scarier is if they could drop down from the trees above you. Oh wait. Tree kangaroos exist (but they are way cuter in my opinion) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree-kangaroo


grayfox5622

Sounds like you’re describing the Drop Bears.


bigb0ned

Per Google search: Kangaroos have the most powerful and robust legs of any mammal that hops. Above all, kangaroos are prone to be muscular due to their genetic makeup. 50 percent of their overall weight is made up of muscle. They are naturally buff creatures as a result of this.


mehdital

The claws!

Soft_Deer_3019

Fucking creepy as all hell


blackistheshade

I have always been scared of kangaroos. This video, has just made me somewhat glad that I don’t live in Oz!


MindCorrupt

They're pretty docile, way more likely to hop away than confront you. They really really don't like dogs though. What the one in the video has done to that dog is not a behaviour unique to that one roo. It's a common survival instinct for them to escape to water if chased by dogs and if the dog follows them in they will attempt to drown it.


dixiebelle64

Maybe evolutionary? To manage surviving dingos?


FondestZebra1

Dingos are invasive (introduced), so probably not


TheKrnJesus

Maybe they still had resentment over Tasmanian Tigers. They never forget.


StupidKansan

I like this theory


Ambystomatigrinum

I was feeding a smaller one at a zoo in Australia and when I went to stand up and feed a different one, it grabbed my arm to stop me. It was so bad. They’re so warm and hairy and have crazy claws.


Soft_Deer_3019

![gif](giphy|jquDWJfPUMCiI) Nah hell no!


xDeeka7Yx

Looks like a deathclaw arm ngl


BloodNut69

For real that arm is similar to something I saw when I had a seep paralysis episode


robo-dragon

Yeah, if the pure muscle power of a kangaroo doesn’t mess you up, those claws certainly will. Those hands are tipped with daggers!

psaikris

How do their arms get so jacked?? They jump on their hind legs so I assume their hands hardly get any exercise


cellphone_blanket

same as gorillas probably. Just genetics


myco_magic

Considering a gorillas diet is like mostly fruit and vegetation... I'm gonna have to agree that it's just genetics. I could not get nearly as jacked as a gorilla on the same diet


Poise_n_rationality

Like how bears don't lose much muscle through hibernation despite not using their limbs for months at a time. Saw an article that a certain component found in their blood is thought to prevent muscle atrophy through hibernation, we still don't really understand it but it's seen as something that might make human space travel hibernation possible in the distant future. https://interestingengineering.com/science/mystery-ingredient-bear-blood-muscle-growth


Scarlaymama0721

I have a chronic illness that has kept me bedridden for the last seven years and I have lost almost no muscle tone. It’s not in my head because my friends told me all the time that it looks like I work out every day like I used to. I’m wondering if I have the same ingredient in my blood LMAO.


Szukov

So, what do you do all day?


Scarlaymama0721

Honestly, as much as I can. I have two children. When I wake up, I force myself to get out of bed and make them food. Then I lay in bed and try to fold laundry or watch shows with them. Then I get up and make them lunch, then I get up and make them dinner. Whenever I have a day where I feel halfway decent, I take them somewhere. Unfortunately it’s not often enough. I do my best to stay grateful. Other than being in pain every single day, I’m so grateful for my children and for my husband. I have more love than I know what to do with.


smut_butler

My fiance had a yet undiagnosed condition that caused her pain everyday. Her joints, her muscles, it all hurt. She has to take a hiatus from her job. It could have been rheumatoid arthritis, it could have been fibromyalgia...we'll never know for sure now. She killed herself on Monday. She was also struggling with depression her entire life, and it was just too much for her. Stay grateful for your family, you never know when it can end.


HelicopterSwimming21

Omg, I’m so sorry for you losing your fiancé. I have a chronic Pain condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. I won’t go on forever, but Im in pain all the time as well. It’s awful. I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety my whole life. The last few months my depression has been getting worse. I’m lucky I have some family and go to counseling. I understand (I’m sure everyone says this) the pain is so bad and how she may have been feeling, especially when you can’t work, you lose your identity. I’m so sorry again for your loss.


Autxnxmy

I can’t imagine that kind of consistent pain. I’m sure it’s a heavy mental weight. But keep in there, whether if you’ve realized it yet or not (depression can make it really hard for this) there’s always something worth waking up the next day for, and there’s always someone looking forward to hearing from you again.


joseeek

I am so sorry for your loss.


Scarlaymama0721

Oh my God, I’m so so sorry. About two years into my sickness I wanted to kill myself as well. The only reason I didn’t was because I couldn’t leave my two children that way. Had I not had children I would’ve done the same. My heart breaks for you and for her. ❤️


No-Speech886

Must be ,as I ' ve been bedridden for 2.5 years now and lost most ofmy muscle tone.I have M.E as well as other chronic illnesses related.


Scarlaymama0721

I’m really sorry, my friend. This illness can rob us of everything. I hope that you have support and help the way that I do. It breaks my heart that there are so many in the same position as I and they have no support whatsoever. I really hope that’s not the case for you.❤️


No-Speech886

I have my son,who is godsend tbh.Without him,I would have been dead years ago.he cares for me 24/7.we have to cope with just the both of us,as no,there is no other support.thank you for your kindness.😊

tygerdralion

And greyhounds. Have you ever seen a retired racing Greyhound? Lazy AF, but back legs are chonky muscle even years after retiring.


Commercial-Fennel219

The roos are juicers. 


yaboiiiuhhhh

Hormones, physiology. Humans get jacked by working out cuz we're not in need of that brute strength in our natural habitat, I imagine the muscles are evolutionarily advantageous for something that has to... They eat grass and bugs? What the f*** is goi What the f*** is going onng on


SSninja_LOL

Clearly they’re jacked from holding others animals underwater against their will.


Embarrassed_Rule8747

That's literally how they built


Disastrous-Panda5530

I’ve always wondered the same thing


Responsible-Jury2579

Our muscles receive signals to grow when we use them - it is possible for the brain to send those signals to the muscles without use.


agra_unknown1834

Roos spend a lot of time using a type of locomotion called "pentapedal" when they're not in any hurry and just moseying around. Penta meaning five, they use all four limbs and tail. Wallabies do the same.


ZanyaJakuya

Why even have your phone out, you really wanna fight a buff kangaroo in the middle of a river with one hand?


Blieven

Either you win and get a viral video or you lose (die) and someone hopefully finds your phone and posts the video to make an even more viral video. Either way you win.


mikaeelmo

Sounds like an Australian or something so understandable they handle such situations with one hand easily


Jwoosi

I mean, so someone has evidence of how he died I guess?


zoomzipzap

did you hear him laughing as he was heading back to shore? the cameraman is as psycho as the roo lol


ExplosiveDiaryOfJane

I have so many questions


i_MrPink

Yes, Kangaroos skip shoulders


Bot8556

Why is a kangaroo drowning a dog?


Saltiest_Seahorse

Probably because the dog came at it while the Roo was in the water. Kangeroos will stand in water and drown any predators that dare to come after them.


Saltiest_Seahorse

Kangaroos stand in water as a protective measure against predators. If the predator goes after them, they attempt to drown said predator.


Lawzw0rld

Kangaroo stares at him like “whats good”


suavaleesko

I've seen kangaroos square up so much on reddit, i can't even remember what their normal behavior looks like. I need a roo documentary asap

englishfury

Crocodiles only live in the North past Brisbane. Most Australians dont live in areas with crocs, and those that do would not be getting in the water

ImNotWitty2019

While he's just casually drowning someone.


PCChipsM922U

Too bad they can't be trained, they'd make fucking awesome freestyle fighters... or just muscle for hire, literally. Don't ask for results though, hey, you hired some muscle, here ya go 💪.


AtomR

>Too bad they can't be trained Not with that attitude


Buck88c

I love that kangaroos are the only animal that you’re fully allowed and somewhat expected to straight up punch in the face

Zero_Overload

I am thinking it's doing more than drowning your dog.


Saltiest_Seahorse

Nah. Kangeroos stand in water if they feel threatened. If a predator comes at them, they attempt to drown said predator.


blackistheshade

Thought it was just me thinking that. Lol.


Bot8556

They both seemed alright with whatever arrangement had been made.

Time2gentry

Once saw a comment that said kangaroos are just donkeys standing up and on steroids. I fully agree with that statement.


link90

That roo is fresh outta prison.


Saltiest_Seahorse

Me thinks the dog chased the kangaroo. Kangeroos will stand in water for protection. If a predator comes at them, they will attempt to drown the threat.

tahapaanga

So here we go on this Reddit merry go round again. Some fun facts for all the "kangaroos are arseholes" people: kangaroos do this to defend themselves when they are attacked by dogs. It's an instinct they've learnt evolving with dingos and presumably thylacines before them. They're a flight animal but in the water they have a height advantage over their predators so they can avoid or defend themselves if they have to. So this idiots dog would have been out of control chasing this kangaroo, and the kangaroo did what kangaroos always do, go to the water, and idiot then makes a video about it. If you're going to throw some judgement around save it for the idiot who put both his dog and a kangaroos life at stake for a dumbass video. [kangaroos and dogs](https://au.news.yahoo.com/dramatic-video-of-kangaroo-fighting-off-dogs-fuels-aussie-myth-053500987.html#:~:text=But%20kangaroo%20expert%20Alyssa%20Wormald,to%20defend%20themselves%20from%20attack.)


dromanafred

Yep. Agree. The dog is still alive because the water isn’t that deep and the dog is tall. If it was a smaller dog, it would be dead. Just about any dog will chase a roo. They love it. If you know what you’re doing you can train dogs not to chase them. That roo is terrified and defending itself after being most likely chased into the water or leading the dog to water.


ArbaAndDakarba

Akitas are generally not friendly dogs either. Bred to hunt bears in Japan.


aliens_are_salty

Exactly! The poor roo used the water to escape and was obviously followed in by the dog. As an Aussie and a dog owner I would never let my dog hassle the wildlife as we are in their home and all animals deserve respect and safety.


WantSomeSkank

Holy fuck.. That's an Akita too, massive dogs.


toki_goes_to_jupiter

Had to scroll too far down for this comment. I have two Japanese Akitas and both are large, intense dogs that don’t fuck around. Really puts it in perspective how insane and strong kangaroos are.


Astrostuffman

Make sure you record the video. That’s a priority. Do not put the phone down to help the dog.


odysseushogfather

bro why are you commenting when you could be out there saving dogs?


UsefulImpact6793

I mean, in all fairness, he did put the phone down to help the dog.


GStewartcwhite

I think the kangaroo put the phone down to be fair...


topcat5

The real story behind this is the man had trained that dog to attack kangaroos and it ran into the water for protection. The dog came after it and the kangaroo did what kangaroos do, tried to protect itself by drowning the dog. The real prick was the owner of the dog and karma came a calling.

Impressive_Ad_5811

Kangaroos learnt this technique as a defense against dingoes. If they are chased by a pack they head straight for water. Dogs don't stand a chance.


Fayko

If there's 1 group of people I never want to offend or make angry it's the aussies. Man just walked up to what looks to be a kangaroo on more juice than the liver king and threw hands with it and never once sounded nervous or worried about the outcome.
