Why do the majority of the comments think roo’s are aggressive towards people? Am I missing something?
They can definitely fuck you up if they feel threatened however they dont just attack humans on site.
Grew up in rural Australia and these fuckers would be around all the time (usually destroying mums garden).
Everyone in this thread is acting like the cameraperson is in danger here.
The reality is only one person has ever been killed by a kangaroo, and that was in 1936 and a fluke. The whole claim that kangaroos can disembowel someone is speculative. Kangaroos can kick you and scratch you, but their instinct is to just hop away from you.
How the fuck do these things have such massive upper body muscles? They hop around on their rear legs and tail all day, so why are their arms, chest, and shoulders jacked like they spend 3 hours in the gym every day?
Man I find Roos creepy AF. Especially ones that look like muscular ex convicts that broke out of prison charging at me like this. I legit thought the camera man was gonna get KO’d by this jumpy fucker
I really wish we had kangaroos in the US. They are such incredible animals. I know they can be dangerous and bring a variety of problems to the areas they inhabit, but damn, they are so cool.
This is an Eastern Grey Kangaroo, mostly found around the east coast of Australia, hence the name, are less likely to attack humans out of the blue than some other species (Looking at you big reds). This Kangaroo was more stressed than anything and was looking more for a way off the bridge than to fight.
The cameraman did the right thing in this situation, standing still and to the side. If there is ever a Kangaroo jumping directly towards you, just stand still, they’ll jump around you as if you were a tree. If they want to fight you just curl into a ball with your hands protecting you head and neck and accept your fate.
To get to the other side.
Pretty sure you’re lucky he didn’t F you up. Can’t confirm though because I’m American.
To get to your woman’s house
I honestly thought the camera man was about to die. Figured it would hop up and punch him lol
They were dangerously close to that kangaroo. That was peak stupidity honestly.
Hes looking for that dude with the dog that punched him.
Probably to beat the shit out of someone
This was terrifying to watch. Legit thought camera guy was about to be destroyed by that kangaroo.
To get the shrimp off the barbie
Can’t make out the number plates but it does look a little like the bridge to and from Philip Island.
“On my way to fuck yo bitch.”
I would have jumped in the road… That guys muscles had muscles with smaller muscles. No way.
A roo has only 3 things on the brain. Food, fighting and fucking. Since the cameraman didn’t get hit or humped I’m thinking he’s hungry.
Bridge beats swimming.
“Go home Skippy. Get Dad!”

To get to the Aussie side
Because he missed the ferry.
I’m surprised it didn’t sucker punch you as it passed, just because it could. Kangaroos are dicks.
Are kangaroo in Australia as common as deer in the US? At least deer won’t punch you if you get too close.
Not gonna lie, I would have hopped the railing onto the road. Rather play Frogger than fuck with a kangaroo.
To go to San Remo Bakehouse to get a pepper steak pie, snot block and a choccy milk for smoko?

I thought you’re supposed to go on the left side of the road in Australia. Roo clearly was on the wrong side of the path.

To leave Phillip Island?
I was legit scared for the cameraman
Gordon Ramsey: Cause you didn’t, fucking, cook it
What about this is funny?
That kangaroo definitely thought about destroying the cameraman for a second.
