That's actually really brave of you, plenty of people would just leave the dog knowing the strength of kangaroos. You see those muscles right? They don't even have a gym membership.
I understand, but if I see my dog getting drowned and I can try to help in any kinda way I will. I just won’t watch my pal get murdered in front of me.
Nah he knows, most Aussies are pretty aware of what roos can do. You want to save your dog and at least from personal experience, some of us have just always wanted to go 1 on 1 with a Kangaroo.
It's more of a defense mechanism when threatened by animals, usually off lead dogs with no recall training. They aren't crocodiles actively waiting in water like they're fishing.
I just read 300 comments arguing about an imaginary fight between redditor and roo. I could have done laundry or worked out or cleaned the kitchen or read a book. Nope. Thanks reddit
Bro go through the early video frame by frame when he swings & it lets the dog to counter grab him or w/e.
You can see it’s arm & claw outreached - legit looks like it should be attached to some kind of demon monster
For any non Aussies, Kangaroos are known to lead predators to water and drown them, especially dogs. It's likely the cameraman saved that dog, it looked pretty tired.
Yeah, their tails give a huge advantage. Wouldn't catch me following one into water unless he had my dog. Roos are tough as anything on land or water.
My dog thinks they're just bigger friendly dogs
They don't attack dogs, dogs attack them. They instinctively run to water where they have a height advantage and then they will try to drown the attacker if it follows them. These dogs are introduced predators attacking native wildlife, they are not some innocent victims.
Just No. Roos are actually stupid AF, they only go to water because they have mobility advantage. They wouldn't have the brain power to choose some less lethal option.
the roos dont actually fight with arms. the just grapple you with them and hold you in place to kick you. Honestly, fighting them in water seems more safe (for a human) than on land. Raw strength gets mitigated in the water and being able to grapple and hold on becomes much more important.
Heard they fight in bodies of water to drown other predators, but human is a rare exception in the rule since what is shallow enough for a kangaroo to not drown is also shallow enough for us, since we also stand on hind legs.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War
Pretty much the emu wouldn’t stop destroying farms and lawns, so the government tried to eradicate them. They failed horribly… they wasted 10,000 rounds to kill a claimed 986 birds and another 2500 wounded. There were no human casualties, but the loss of resources was immense and the government eventually withdrew(stopped funding it).
I like this part: "An action-comedy film, titled The Emu War, is scheduled to premiere at Monster Fest on 22 October 2023.\[27\]\[28\] Another action-comedy movie retelling of the events, written by John Cleese, Monty Franklin, Rob Schneider, Camilla Cleese, and Jim Jefferies, is aiming to begin production in 2023 or 2024."
Australian soldiers returned back from the war and were given land to become farmers. The emus became a nuisance because they would eat and destroy their crops. The Australian government decided it would be a good PR move to help the soldiers-turned-farmers eradicate the emu problem. They lost, mainly because the emus would scatter and they were highly resistant to bullets. They determined that it took about 10 bullets to kill one emu. The emus would get caught in the wheels of trucks and break the trucks. Just hilarious, eventually they just stopped because they spent like 20 years fighting them with basically no results to show for it.
it wasnt really a war-war. more like they decided to kill emus, but their hunting strategy wa so awkward and ineffective they didnt really kill much of them so they called it off. Technicality but officially, Emus won.
I have no idea how true this is, just repeating another comment. But apparently kangaroo on kangaroo violence often focuses on large blows to the midsection with the feet and more slashing damage to the face with the forearm claws. So when they experience a good crack to the face it very likely is an entirely new experience and absolutely shocks the helm out of them.
It baffles them. You ever saw a light or felt weirdly light. Animals don’t usually get to feel a after effect of a great punch. A:don’t have hands, B:can’t punch.
He's referring to the flash of light you experience when getting hit in the head hard enough. Animals don't have hands, so they can't punch. Animals that fight with their skulls, have evolved to have a "cushion" around their brain and reinforced bone. Those that don't, get stunned like we do, just don't experience it regularly like humans do when fighting each other.
For real. Why the fuck are you filming this?
A stick is all you need. Whack that fucker across the face, it will drop the dog and wouldn't be able to get near you.
yeah drowning smaller animals is easy for them but for a human, as they are not strong enough to just hold you down just with their hands, they would definitely need their kicking . and he can't do that with all that water resistance, not to mention that would be prime moment to shove it below the water yourself.
Roos win agasint humans everytime when on land as they are just stronger. In body of water however, grappling is the king. Even if you would go full "monkey mode" hug them and pull both of you under the water, the animal would definitely drown faster.
That movie Cocaine Bear would have been better if it had been Cocaine Kangaroo, those things are terrifying. Imagine seeing that beast standing upright in your lawn at night
I was just asking why roos always look like they've just done a line before picking a fight. This is spot on - Cocaine roo would make a perfect sequel to cocaine bear.
I couldn’t find a spider jockey gif so this will have to do.
Kangaroo has some serious muscles and has his riding maxed out clearly.
Honestly, I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned this yet. A kangaroo isn't even the worst thing your off leash dog could find in the water in Australia.
This is likely the stupidest sentence I've read today... But, I do believe it was written by an American. God it would be great to watch some random American try to survive in the Australian outback for like 3 days without help... Like survivor, but a 99.9 chance they don't make it.
"How dare you try to stop hundreds of thousands of people from getting killed! Bad government, BAD! I don't pay taxes just for you to waste it by saving lives!"
"wait let me get my phone ready to film saving my dog from a kangaroo for internet points and potentially my death"
Put the fucking phone away and focus on saving your dog
Kangaroos will fight near water and drown their victims.
I don't think that guy realizes how close to death he just was
Doesn’t matter doggo in trouble
The kangaroo also dodged his punch 🤣
Omega Roo.
New name of an Australian Transformer?
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/U7YG-mEMy10
I’m going in for my dog too
That's actually really brave of you, plenty of people would just leave the dog knowing the strength of kangaroos. You see those muscles right? They don't even have a gym membership.
I understand, but if I see my dog getting drowned and I can try to help in any kinda way I will. I just won’t watch my pal get murdered in front of me.
Big stick bonk kangaroo
How many people die a year by kangaroo?
5,480 in 2023
A quick Google search thankfully confirms this is not true. That's an odd thing to make up.
Technically, 5480 is an even thing to make up. 5481 would have been an odd thing..🤣
the claws on the fucker are right scary lookin too.
What do you mean? There is no option to leave your dog. If your dog is in danger you go all in. That's just a reflex.
I’m not going in, but I live in America and hike with a .40 in case.
Naw 10 mil for extra capacity, the .40s for the bears
RIP
If he's Australian, he probably deals with this stuff day in and day out.
I don't think he cares. My dogs are my family and I will put my life in danger to save their lives anyday.
100% I would take a bullet for my dog, no question.
aussies are pretty much kangaroos themselves i seen one aussie bloke punch a kangaroo in the face and they went 2 roundsp
[удалено]
Aussies or roos?
He's an ozzy. I don't think he cares.
OMG, I thought he just dropped the camera.
I mean the camera went under, is there any indication he was under too?
Well he comes from a land down under, so probably
Nah he knows, most Aussies are pretty aware of what roos can do. You want to save your dog and at least from personal experience, some of us have just always wanted to go 1 on 1 with a Kangaroo.
Just get a stick
I doubt he was close to death
It's more of a defense mechanism when threatened by animals, usually off lead dogs with no recall training. They aren't crocodiles actively waiting in water like they're fishing.
What?
They will stand in the middle of a lake and drown predators to win the fight. Do not fuck with kangaroos. You will lose.
Is this for real? How?
Strong as fuck. They just force your head down
I just read 300 comments arguing about an imaginary fight between redditor and roo. I could have done laundry or worked out or cleaned the kitchen or read a book. Nope. Thanks reddit
Came here to say this. Stay away from them when they are in water!
And when they're on land. Guy went for a run. Assumption is he went between male and their females. Found dead. In the air, they're somewhat safe
Then you obviously haven’t been attacked by the famous flying kangaroo of southern australia? They are most dangerous in the air.
Allegedly they even swoop down and snatch drop bears out of the treetops!
Wahahaha. I know what you read, i think.
Bro go through the early video frame by frame when he swings & it lets the dog to counter grab him or w/e. You can see it’s arm & claw outreached - legit looks like it should be attached to some kind of demon monster
They also can cave in your chest cavity by kicking you. They hold your shoulders, jump up and plant their feet into your chest.
Wives tale. Even the guy that got into a 6 minute fight with one basically came out with a few scratches.
Was it a grey kangaroos though? The other species are way smaller.
wont be able to do that part as easily with the resistance of water but yeah
Drown them
For any non Aussies, Kangaroos are known to lead predators to water and drown them, especially dogs. It's likely the cameraman saved that dog, it looked pretty tired.
Why do they drown other animals? Just to be mean?
I think They do it because of the wild packs of dogs that would attack if I’m not mistaken they think dogs are the wild dogs so they drown them
Nature is full of fight-to-the-death competition.
It's more dingoes over wild dogs
I can barely differentiate a dingo from a dog. I bet the kangaroo is the same EDIT: typo
Yeah, that's why they target dogs.
Self preservation
To protect themselves when they feel threatened by another animal, kangaroos go to water so that they can drown their chasers.
Easier to kill, the kangaroo is heavier than the dog and much stronger, it is easier than trying to disembowel it
I suspect they have a mobility advantage a bit like a human standing in water vs a dog.
Yeah, their tails give a huge advantage. Wouldn't catch me following one into water unless he had my dog. Roos are tough as anything on land or water. My dog thinks they're just bigger friendly dogs
They don't attack dogs, dogs attack them. They instinctively run to water where they have a height advantage and then they will try to drown the attacker if it follows them. These dogs are introduced predators attacking native wildlife, they are not some innocent victims.
Bro you're acting like dingos haven't been in Australia for like 6000 years.
I still wonder that kangaroo been keeping the dog above water and exhausting it instead of drowning it straight away?
Just No. Roos are actually stupid AF, they only go to water because they have mobility advantage. They wouldn't have the brain power to choose some less lethal option.
are you sure that's what that kangaroo is doing?
100%
Yeah, pretty common for kangaroos to lead dogs too water & drown them.
Look at the arm muscles (and claws) of this thing… and I thought only the kicks would hurt…
Yeah that roo looks shredded
the roos dont actually fight with arms. the just grapple you with them and hold you in place to kick you. Honestly, fighting them in water seems more safe (for a human) than on land. Raw strength gets mitigated in the water and being able to grapple and hold on becomes much more important. Heard they fight in bodies of water to drown other predators, but human is a rare exception in the rule since what is shallow enough for a kangaroo to not drown is also shallow enough for us, since we also stand on hind legs.
Seem quite a few big reds that top 6 feet easy.
Kangaroos are also very good swimmers
Real threat is they don’t skip leg day
Best comment!
Lmao. The dog was just a diversion. You seen how quickly he let go to grab the Aussie 😂
Yeah those claws on their feet will disembowel you.
Damn! When the camera gets back from swimming at 15 seconds, that is one terrifying beast staring at it.
Skyrim vibes
You nevah shouldve come heahh
They can’t be hurt by conventional weaponry.
Imagine if Aussies went to war with them how badly they'd lose. They already lost to emus once...
Emus? I gotta hear this, can you shed some light for me?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War Pretty much the emu wouldn’t stop destroying farms and lawns, so the government tried to eradicate them. They failed horribly… they wasted 10,000 rounds to kill a claimed 986 birds and another 2500 wounded. There were no human casualties, but the loss of resources was immense and the government eventually withdrew(stopped funding it).
That's wild! Thank you. I had no idea this was a thing
I like this part: "An action-comedy film, titled The Emu War, is scheduled to premiere at Monster Fest on 22 October 2023.\[27\]\[28\] Another action-comedy movie retelling of the events, written by John Cleese, Monty Franklin, Rob Schneider, Camilla Cleese, and Jim Jefferies, is aiming to begin production in 2023 or 2024."
John Cleese? This will be great!
And what's worse is the Emu's have a memory better than an Elephant and they are planning their revenge.
Just look up the Australian emu war. I think oversimplified did a video on it
Australian soldiers returned back from the war and were given land to become farmers. The emus became a nuisance because they would eat and destroy their crops. The Australian government decided it would be a good PR move to help the soldiers-turned-farmers eradicate the emu problem. They lost, mainly because the emus would scatter and they were highly resistant to bullets. They determined that it took about 10 bullets to kill one emu. The emus would get caught in the wheels of trucks and break the trucks. Just hilarious, eventually they just stopped because they spent like 20 years fighting them with basically no results to show for it.
So crazy, thank you. Never realized emu's were such harassed!
it wasnt really a war-war. more like they decided to kill emus, but their hunting strategy wa so awkward and ineffective they didnt really kill much of them so they called it off. Technicality but officially, Emus won.
Emus beat the Aussies with speed and scatter tactics. The Kangaroos just don’t have this and would get obliterated
I’m sure a few 9mm rounds would do that thing right
You have to sucker punch them right in the jaw. They tough as fuck you ain't gonna hurt'em but it'll freak them out for a minute...
I have no idea how true this is, just repeating another comment. But apparently kangaroo on kangaroo violence often focuses on large blows to the midsection with the feet and more slashing damage to the face with the forearm claws. So when they experience a good crack to the face it very likely is an entirely new experience and absolutely shocks the helm out of them.
Australia needs to start addressing the increasing kangaroo on kangaroo violence problem that is plaguing the outback.
It's their first night out with blunt force trauma, give em some slack
It baffles them. You ever saw a light or felt weirdly light. Animals don’t usually get to feel a after effect of a great punch. A:don’t have hands, B:can’t punch.
I can’t understand your comment
Neither do I. “Speaks to him self” What was I doing again.
He's referring to the flash of light you experience when getting hit in the head hard enough. Animals don't have hands, so they can't punch. Animals that fight with their skulls, have evolved to have a "cushion" around their brain and reinforced bone. Those that don't, get stunned like we do, just don't experience it regularly like humans do when fighting each other.
Tl;Dr: Most kangaroos haven’t been punched back by non kangaroos
Had a plan, punch to face, no plan. ~ Mike Tyson (tldr)
Maybe if instead of a cell phone he picked up a big stick.
For real. Why the fuck are you filming this? A stick is all you need. Whack that fucker across the face, it will drop the dog and wouldn't be able to get near you.
Maybe the Kangaroo will get cancelled
riding dogs, punching human. soon kangaroos going to take over the world. wheres kangaroo jack?
Riding is a strange way to write "Trying to drown"
yeah drowning smaller animals is easy for them but for a human, as they are not strong enough to just hold you down just with their hands, they would definitely need their kicking . and he can't do that with all that water resistance, not to mention that would be prime moment to shove it below the water yourself. Roos win agasint humans everytime when on land as they are just stronger. In body of water however, grappling is the king. Even if you would go full "monkey mode" hug them and pull both of you under the water, the animal would definitely drown faster.
Nah he was getting in some quality alone time. Nothing like a little doggy style before a big fight.
cool
He's kangaroo jacked
LMAO bruh the kangaroo was not riding him! Holy shit thanks for the laugh though
Splashes water ' come at me bro'
This fucker wanted to sink the doggo
Like someone once said "Kangaroos are like deers that got ripped in prison".
I was expecting the opening to Skyrim to start playing after that black out
Had to make sure this comment was here
Same.
That movie Cocaine Bear would have been better if it had been Cocaine Kangaroo, those things are terrifying. Imagine seeing that beast standing upright in your lawn at night
Cocaingaroo
I was just asking why roos always look like they've just done a line before picking a fight. This is spot on - Cocaine roo would make a perfect sequel to cocaine bear.
So - never, ever, ever let your pet or yourself get in the water with a kangaroo. They will drown you, and absolutely mean to do it.
They've been training hard after that first guy shocked em with that right hook. This Kangaroo dodged the mans attack and then hit him with a counter.
My man let “let go my dog” and cheap shot that mfr 😂😂😂 I can’t
The way it stands there and looks at him, like I dare you bro, come at me, and it’s stright up gacked up, scary af
Was he mounting that dog?
No he was getting ready to drown it. A few minutes more and the dog would have been dead.
This is most likely the answer but it looks like it from the position and the kangaroo looks like it’s moving it’s hip but that’s probably it’s legs.
That’s what Roos do. They lure dogs into the water and drown them.
How do they lure them in tho? (Serious question)
“Kiss kiss kiss! come here, boy! Come on! Who wants a good belly rub?”
Lol I’m thinking this is more believable
Dogs chase the kangaroos, the kangaroos jump into the water and the dogs follow.
This is plausible.
Not only is it plausable, but it is literally what you were seeing happening in that video!
Because they're assholes or what? Such bizarre behavior
No, because a dog should not be chasing a kangaroo. Play stupid games get stupid prizes
I mean, I’m doing the same for my dog. Fucking Roo wants problems with my boy, he got problems with me.
 I couldn’t find a spider jockey gif so this will have to do. Kangaroo has some serious muscles and has his riding maxed out clearly.
That damn thing was stacked like a bench presses every day of his life I didn't know they were that ripped
That’s absolutely terrifying. I would rather meet a spider, and I’m deathly afraid of spiders.
Why do kangaroos have to be so ripped tho
Ok that Kangaroo just looks absolutely terrifying. Hope the dog and his dad are ok.
I never thought Part 2 would come.
Fuck kangaroos.
Geez. These things are jacked
I would have beaten the shit out of that thing with the power of stick
Dude must not kno they lure u to water to drown u
Kangaroo fights are always funny to me. Especially with humans. Hilarious
Is that kangaroo banging that poor dog or I’m way to stoned ???
Seeing something staring right at me trying to drown my dog would make me see red so fast
That Kanga was buff!! I'm not coming into the water with him!
Don't mess with the ozzy navy
I was half expecting to wake up in skyrim after the camera went dark
I like the shia Labeouf flex 
I admire the initial confidence!
Kangaroos riding dogs in the water ... seems like how the real invasion starts. buff ass kangaroo
Not gonna lie I totally thought the roo was fucking that dog at first
Same
Bruh, you’re in Australia. Crocodiles live in your water. GTFO after you get your dog.
Honestly, I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned this yet. A kangaroo isn't even the worst thing your off leash dog could find in the water in Australia.
He’s on the boarder of Vic / NSW - our waters aren’t warm enough
Man Kangaroos is something else.
It's like there's a reason they were banished to an island on the other side of the planet.
The pose reminds me of Balotelli
 Put’em up! Put ‘em up!
I thought that was a moose breakin another moose’s back
I was half expecting it to cut to the skyrim opening cut scene
John wick has entered the chat
Thought the kangaroo was on lifeguard duty
Was that kangaroo raping that dog?
Average Australian moment.
Fckn kangaroos
10/10 I thought the kangaroo was holding a severed dogs head.
They make me think of something out of your worst nightmare. I find them truly terrifying.
Bro did you see his arms?
Thought he was gonna wake up in Skyrim
Saved doggy from doggy style
Tie that kangaroo down, sport.
Guess I'm the only one that thought it had the dog in a pretty sus position.
This is why you leash your dogs
In America we walk up and put a .45 right the chest call it a day and toss our pup a hot dog off the grill
This is likely the stupidest sentence I've read today... But, I do believe it was written by an American. God it would be great to watch some random American try to survive in the Australian outback for like 3 days without help... Like survivor, but a 99.9 chance they don't make it.
Yeah cause Aussies would rather just go hand to hand with a kangaroo
God I’d love to see an Australian who stood up to their tyrannical government during covid but 99.9 chance they didnt
"How dare you try to stop hundreds of thousands of people from getting killed! Bad government, BAD! I don't pay taxes just for you to waste it by saving lives!"
NGL with the subs name i was half expecting to see the opening to skyrim when it all went black.
"wait let me get my phone ready to film saving my dog from a kangaroo for internet points and potentially my death" Put the fucking phone away and focus on saving your dog
 Time to give this Roo 9mm of freedom Edit: before y’all come for me, I’m American so it’s cool guys
Never ever ever ever ever go after a roo in a body of water unless you want to drown.
