You don't want this Huncho Macho Marsupials punch or kick your guts out!


You must have been seeing Roos(Kangaroos) on the TV and they seem all sweet and cuddly, but you are wrong, these are the body builders of the marsupial world. It is in your safety and best interest to always keep some great distance while watching them if you ever travel to places like Australia where they are in abundant, don’t ever get closer to a wild kangaroo for pictures or grooming, they always feel threatened by taller animals and other Males and that could mean an all out attack on you with those weapons of a claw you are seeing in the image. Respect and adore the animals from a safe distance whether male or female.

A variety of Kangaroo species are in existence, but the Red Too seems to be one of the largest and the Males are the most aggressive, an adult Male Red Too can weigh close to 90Kg (200 pounds), they could jump close to 9 metres (30 feet) and this are just some of the things they are capable of, also, this should provide some idea of how strong their legs are and the kind of kick they can throw when in danger, threatened or battling out for females during mating seasons. If you get too close and a Roo wants to fight you, it will grab hold of you with it’s fore paws, and make a raking kick down your stomach with the full strength of those super charged hind legs. The male red kangaroo has a kick of about 850PSI(pound to square inches), with this, those claws in the image above are on the hind leg and could tear you open from sternum to groin at a go!

It is beautiful and fascinating to watch them use those hind legs to hop and move effortless reaching top speeds of up to 71kmh across desert areas and harsh terrains.The combination of that muscle, that kick and those claws can be deadly in a fight. They kill dogs, lone wolf and other gentle animals that violates their boundaries with that arsenal.

To give an idea of what you’d be facing..this kangaroo is 195 cm (6 foot 5inches)


An Australian Wildlife experts warned:

With their gigantic feet, these "boomers" deliver kicks that can crush bone and even kill their opponents. You do not want to get kicked by kangaroo you don't stand much of a chance in a toe-to-toe standoff with a rampaging kangaroo, which can swipe at you with clawed hands or deliver powerful kicks to your abdomen while supporting itself on its tail. A kangaroo's foot claws are sharp enough to slice open a human abdomen.

These Boomers are largely vegetarians, they graze often and often during the day but could be fiercely competitive when i
Its mating seasons and courting females becomes a task. When adult males combat each other, feet are their weapon of choice while they throw jabs and punches with their paws. They're armed with extremely muscular hind legs and enormous feet, which help them to execute broad jumps with every hop at top speeds as stated earlier.

You don't want to encounter them in the open plains, these badass Bigfoots hoppers can cross the vast reaches of the Australian Outback with ease, at peak speeds and could catch up with you in a single stride!
