They are so crazy looking IRL. Some are so cute. Some look like giant rabbits. Some have eery almost human proportions. And some are randomly jacked to the hilt.
I thought they were relatively harmless until I saw a wound from a 'roo kick. Looked like if a horse had a dagger and kick-stabbed him. Then there was the video of one trying to strangle a dog to death...oh yeah, and someone from NSW told me they would try to bait things into water sources to drown them. 😐
I wonder how that roo would do in a tangle with a black bear. (He’s no match for a grizzly, but looks like he might be similar in weight to a small black bear.)
The thing about kangaroo balls, is that no matter how they are positioned, there they are. Laying down? They're on their back, legs spread. Standing up, they're swinging on a pendulum. They're inescapable.
Before Americans get any ideas: no, this is not normal; it's either some very rural town or an anomaly. The vast majority of Australians have never even seen a kangaroo outside of a zoo, or at best, roadkill.
You don't see wood ducks all clustered like that normally either, someone around there is def feeding them. Kangaroos are much like deer, they are very skittish and rarely seen unless well tamed, though they are more active during the day so they can sometimes be seen in fields off to the side of roads.
I live in the suburbs in Perth, I see groups of Kangaroos like this constantly from a major road, scrub on one side houses on the other, not 200m from my place.
I live in a small coastal village on the south coast of Australia, this is very common were I live, but your right, not in the big city's. I did used to live in our Capital Canberra, in some of the outer suburbs its common, an I love that.
Nah, Jervis. Bloody love Bermagui though, an grew up with a bunch of kids from Tathra. Theres Kangaroos all over my kids school an the footy oval here.

What do those veggie rodents mostly eat? Unless it's grass... not sure why they'd be in suburbia.
DarwinsAgain
Well they aren't rodents so they don't eat cheese that's for sure.

A kangaroo's balls are above his penis. Now you know.

Like a real life bluey episode…except these animals are cunts and will kill you.

No this we know but what about the kangaroos then?

Luring dogs into water and drowning them is a fairly recently learned behaviour. Roos are cunts, wallabies are fine.
reallybigdogtrappedinamansbody
Roos are fine too — but they’re also wild animals and dogs that “play” chasing them = sad times

He's jacked up and ready to protect 'his' rights to those ladies. Fucking with him is not considered a smart move.

You're just saying that because of his testicles.

We get deer in our backyard and that’s cool but this? Wow!
Californiajackson
My neighbourhood has squirrrels and sparrows. I feel cheated.

No rabbits, you're being cheated out of wild life.

Oh yeah, I forgot the bnuys. ( And many other things, actually. I'm not really cheated, just acclimatized.)

The plural noun for roos is actually a Mob. That's the local mob boss right there, so you better show some respect!

I see that level of herd every day in urban Canberra. They eat the strawberries in my front yard.

Those are mallard ducks, both male and female. Wood ducks look similar but the big tell is that wood ducks have red eyes.
Agouti
Oh, how embarrassing! Male wood ducks also have brown heads instead of the glossy green, it was a pretty silly mix-up.
