Kangaroos

Post by bernie47 »

I came across this on youtube, a bit of comedy regarding kangaroos but it also gives you an idea of how big and strong these animals can get. A lot of people think of them as cute furry little beasts and a lot of them are but the ones that are culled for skins can grow to 6ft 6in and weigh in at 180 lbs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_NqulhmZWc
Kind Regards

Oh Crikey! He laid Poor Marty the Monster out cold! :shock: Thanks for posting that Bernie!

Those Adult Red kangaroos are a far cry from a cute lil paddymellon and it really goes to show just how powerful and dangerous they can be and why I don’t have a problem with the occasional few being taken humanely and made into whips!

Hmmmm, Didn’t Slim Dusty sing a song about loosing a fight with a Kangaroo.
