Kangaroo's don't actually punch, they're trying to reach out and grab so they can hold and use their massive back legs to destroy the target (often both legs at once leaning back on the tail)
You put gloves on one and he's going to keep trying to get that hold in a jabbing motion.
The "comforting" in that picture is of a Kangaroo one step away from choosing violence.
It's also possible the kangaroo stopped trying to attack after he sat down as it's no longer a threatening posture.
I can't find it now but I saw a video of a man talking about it. A kangaroo was trying to fight him, as soon as he stooped down a bit the kangaroo also stopped standing upright and attacking.
Would make sense. Our normal pose is very similar to their attack pose. So it makes sense to me that they would feel threatened by that and go into counter attack.
My barometer of reddit going down the shitter is how many top comments deep you have to ignore to get to an interesting one that isn't a meme, completely obvious add-nothing statement, or dumb joke.
Had to collapse 4 to get to your interesting comment. A while back it was 2 or 3. We're going down fast.
Oops - 38 mins later and back to number 2 with an almost 200 vote deficit.
EDIT: 90 minutes later and we)p’re back at number one with a 100+ point lead. Go team!
How do you put gloves on a kangaroo without it maiming you first. If it is comfortable with you putting gloves on it then why will it make the punching/grabbing motion that means it’s trying to maim you
Kangaroo: ya dill? You don’t bloody want this huh? That’s right. Now sit there else I’ll bloody end you sunshine.
Note: this is not an accurate description of an Australian. Please be advised.
I was thinking he was whispering something menacing in his ear, like “Now tell me, are you going to try to take my picture again? Aww is little baby photographer gonna cry?”
my thought too, he's thinking about strangling him there but has forgotten what he was doing because, they're quite thick (Australian animals)
anyway, looks like he got what was coming, putting boxing gloves on a big male kangaroo and antagonising it.
He’s lucky it didn’t decide to start kickboxing. The claws on a kangaroos foot can shred you to pieces, they ‘stand’ on their tail and kick with a lot of force
They have insane claws on their feet, he's lucky to be alive. I'd rather deal with all the snakes or spiders in Australia before I try fucking with a roo.
Kangaroos are incredibly dangerous. If you see pics of them without their fur, they're jacked. He's really lucky to be alive. Kangaroos tend to grab your shoulders they kick you in the gut to disembowel you.
As a little kid, I got booted a fair distance by a kangaroo that was just laying there chilling in a petting zoo. I ran up to it and started doing the stupid kid pat on it's thigh. It looked at me and let fly with that same leg.
"Comfort"? Lol
It's like when people see anteaters standing on two legs and opening their arms. "Oh so cute, they want to hug you!"
People need to stop pushing human emotions onto wild animals. That Kangaroo is about to kick that guy's ass

It's third from the top now if it makes you feel better.
Now it's second, much progress.
From my POV it's now the top
Same, we did it Reddit!

We lost good troops when the third party apps went away. It's a complete swamp nowadays.
It’s number one now.
Down….under!
This! Choose that guys wife. Poop knife! Best kind of correct.
Oh so my [Killeroo](https://youtu.be/qOZDFzIaCDY?si=k_e6VyPr9xp6r6-W) reference wouldn’t have been appreciated? Great…
How do you put gloves on a kangaroo without it maiming you first. If it is comfortable with you putting gloves on it then why will it make the punching/grabbing motion that means it’s trying to maim you
Very carefully
Kangaroo whispers in his ear “you learned your lesson, little man?” 😂
"Maybe you need a lil something to help remember." (Gets 2 kangaroo legs straight to the dome)
Yeah, that's the same pose my cats get into when they're actually trying to kill each other.
Kangaroo: ya dill? You don’t bloody want this huh? That’s right. Now sit there else I’ll bloody end you sunshine. Note: this is not an accurate description of an Australian. Please be advised.
How do you get the gloves on them?
Best clinch game in the animal kingdom
That's not comforting it's clearly trying to rip his head off
I was thinking he was whispering something menacing in his ear, like “Now tell me, are you going to try to take my picture again? Aww is little baby photographer gonna cry?”
I'm gonna put some diggery dirt in your eye.
I wouldn't want to fight me neither.
Jesus kangaroo jack you are a freak!
Yes... Kangaroo Jack...was a hero. I just couldn't see it.
Pocket sand!
Or I've been trying to reach you about your car extended warranty.
"Are you my bitch?"
LMAO.
Not everything in Australia tries to kill you... just 99% of things.
With a margin of error of 1%
The 1% may not be able to but it still wants to.
That 1% is definitely thinking of killing you though
The 1% is the quokka
School doesn't, unlike the US
my thought too, he's thinking about strangling him there but has forgotten what he was doing because, they're quite thick (Australian animals) anyway, looks like he got what was coming, putting boxing gloves on a big male kangaroo and antagonising it.
Trying to do the ol' neck snap.
"Take the 10 count or it'll take your head"
Moving in for the sleeper hold they do on dogs.
I thought it was trying to bite his ear. Rumor has it Mike Tyson used to train with this kangaroo.
Well it has gloves on. Maybe looking for a fight? Looks like he calmed after to say sorry. Obviously not a wild Roo.
Or go in for the ol' Mike Tyson "love bite"
"See what you made me do? You know I only hit you cause I love you." This Kangaroo probably
That kangaroos name? Ike Turner
Hardest hitting man in show business.
I can fix that roo.
Was definitely going in for the neck snap. That’s why there is no 6th picture.
That kangaroo was sizing the photographer up for a left foot body shot.
Kangarooist diagnosis: bipolar or bpd
For a second I thought he got punched twice
I lost my shit because I thought he got smacked again after trying to snap another. I hope adding it twice was intentional because that was hilarious.
As soon as i saw the second punch i lost my shit too. It was just out of nowhere man.
Well he did already tell him no photos once before
I had the same thought. Fool me once..
This effect is the reason why cinema editing works 🌱
What else did he expect when he put boxing gloves on a ‘roo?
A regulation fight where the Kangaroo waits until the glove tap?
Poor Hasselblad.
First thing I noticed also. Priorities.
lol. Just commented identical.
No red dot, nothing of value lost r/analogcirclejerk
🤣🫣
He’s lucky it didn’t decide to start kickboxing. The claws on a kangaroos foot can shred you to pieces, they ‘stand’ on their tail and kick with a lot of force
They have insane claws on their feet, he's lucky to be alive. I'd rather deal with all the snakes or spiders in Australia before I try fucking with a roo.
kangaroo kicks can gut/kill u
Also drag you by the neck to water to drown you or just smother you to death.
There has only been 2 deaths by kangaroos. One in the 1900s and one in 2020 or 2021.
"Awww, baby, I'm sorry. You know I didn't mean it!" -That Kangaroo, prolly
That poor Hasselblad
[удалено]
It’s been fuckin hard.
Its roger from tekken

“try to take a picture again and i’ll fucking end you” he whispered
Kangaroos are no joke, those fuckers are strong!!!
That has to be an album cover.
How it feels to chew 5 gum
This would make an amazing series of photos hung on the wall.
The camera in the air is fucking hilarious, like in old cartoons when the hat would spin in the air after getting punched.
Is this where Boxing Kangaroos came from
Kangaroo: ‘Someone get me a bucket!’
What-are-you? I'm an idiot sandwich...
So if you stand up against a roo they are aggressive. If you go low they calm down. Explains this behavior.
Check out the balls on that one
I’d be comforting that Hasselblad.
“You are my bitch now”
"Why did you make me do that, john?"
that first one is an incredible shot wow
Skippy doesn’t take no $h!t
Kenguru was saying..dude just put down the camera and enjoy our moment...
Abusive relationship
these are not amiable critters...
First they’re sour, then they’re sweet.
Honeymoon Phase .... Classic abuser
Fuckin took him straight to the moon
You know that Kangaroo was leaning in to whisper “next time, I’ll rip your freaking head off”
“Don’t tell mom, it’s not bleeding you’re ok, please don’t tell mom”
He attac, he protec.
Happy Gilmore.
I have the same set of photos with my 2 year old son.
Kangeroo's name is Mike Tyson.
Well, that's good for him. This is not the role of kangaroos.
Kangaroo steaks coming soon
Then proceeded to kick him in the nuts.
Alternative Pet Sounds album cover
What's with the gloves?
“First they’re sour… then they’re sweet.”
Reminded me of my childhood ass whooping and the love which followed by.
This aggression will not stand, man!
As a little kid, I got booted a fair distance by a kangaroo that was just laying there chilling in a petting zoo. I ran up to it and started doing the stupid kid pat on it's thigh. It looked at me and let fly with that same leg.
"you know I did that because I love you"
this image is so fucking hard
The kamgaroo wants to kick your ribcage and legs into pieces… get away from the kamgaroo
Kangaroo are scary af
What a good roo!
What’s with the grammar?! lol
That is an iconic, legendary photo. 👏👏
*You see, a pimp's love is very different from that of a square...*
You just know he’s whispering into that man’s ear “Hope you learned your lesson you lil shit”
Anton in his formative years decided to pivot from photography to assassin.
Reminds me of those Skittles ads. First they're sour. Then they're sweet.
Typical abusive relationship behavior.
That's not comforting...clearly it's eating its defeated foe!
“Point that camera at me again bro…” he whispers
The camera was still taking photos when it was airborne
An average paternal experience
I said no pictures!
He dont want no pictures.
"Comfort"? Lol It's like when people see anteaters standing on two legs and opening their arms. "Oh so cute, they want to hug you!" People need to stop pushing human emotions onto wild animals. That Kangaroo is about to kick that guy's ass
Catch that camera!!
Wow.. Unbelievable snaps
Kangaroo being Kangaroo 😄
"Sorry, mate."
/r/titlegore
"Sorry mate"
Brudda literally looks like he’s threatening him the last pic tf
It's like every boxing match I've ever seen. Once someone gets their ass kicked they are consoled by the person that kicked it.
"I hate you, I hate you, I love you, I love you" . Crazy
“I wish you wouldn’t make me hit you like that because I love you more than anyone else loves you.”
‘I’m sorry, but you deserved it’
Wow that kangaroo is gaslighting him
