Humor: Man Smacks Kangaroo, Saves Dog

[Chance]

Is anyone else alarmed that a kangaroo apparently knows what a headlock is? [Careful with the audio, it's a little loud.] From Laughing Squid (http://laughingsquid.com/a-tall-man-stuns-a-kangaroo-with-a-punch-to-the-nose-to-rescue-his-dog-from-a-deadly-headlock/):


During a last wish boar hunting trip for a boy with terminal cancer, the group discovered that a big buck kangaroo had Greig Tonkins’ beloved dog in a deadly headlock. The 6’7″ Taronga Western Plains Zoo employee made his way towards the animals, causing the giant marsupial to become distracted and let go off the dog. For a few moments neither man nor beast showed any sign of backing down. In an effort to break the standoff, Tonkins punched the kangaroo across the snout and took off the other way. The roo was stunned by the blow and hopped away confused, but unharmed.

That is epic!

[Mike C]

That was awesome, thanks Chance I needed a good laugh today.

Story going around is the puncher works for a zoo and they're making a thing out of this. Lames.

Based on stories I've heard from an Aussie rancher it would have been good to run a F2S on that roo, then eat him.

[Trigger]

Great video! You made me laugh!

[RJ]

Excellent.

Can't wait for the 'Ozzy Man Review' of that. :cool:

The Australian Harambe. Seriously though, if that guy's 6'7" that's a big critter. The kangaroo, not the man, although he's rather large as well.

Yeah...don't fuck with kangaroos. They can rip you to shreds.

Holy smokes. Kangaroos are super creepy animals with a nasty mean streak.

[Totem Polar]

Damn, I had no idea Roos had stand up grappling game.

Did he just lock on an RNC? Gracie's perfected this shit my ass.

Hear that, Royce?! Kangaroos did it first!

[Please no one tell Royce I said that....]

[Gray222]

It's all fun and games until that thing punches him back.

Seriously holy shit!

Reminds me of the Jiu Jitsu nursery rhyme:

"Now I lay you down to sleep, because I sunk that choke so deep...gently now the world goes black, and all because I took your back"

Saw this a while back and this thread made me dig it up. Full on RNC by the kangaroo here.

Also some of these things look huge height-wise and really muscular to boot.

That's why we carry clinch picks, bro.

Pfft. I bet he doesn't even lift. :)

That's a scary animal. I knew you didn't want to screw with one, but I didn't know how bad of an idea that actually was.

[Hambo]

He's obviously juiced.

[hufnagel]

He's obviously juiced.

Cactus juice?
I dunno... what's in Australia?

Where's that thread "Things that will absolutely get you killed on the streets"? Add "fucking with kangaroos" to that list!

I laughed my ass off when they showed that dude punch the kangaroo in slow motion. That was awesome.

That reminds me of a fairly scary wilderness experience I had. Many years ago I was out in the middle of nowhere in Australia when a smallish 'Roo came bounding by close enough I could have reached out and touched it. For a fraction of a second I wondered why it was in such a hurry as to not give me more room. But then I saw more than a dozen big male 'Roos were chasing this female, and they were bounding past on both sides and virtually over me.

I'm tellin ya, "pucker" takes on a whole new meaning when you are being chased by a troop of big horny male 'Roos at about 30 mph.

This scenario is replacing "zombie apocalypse" in my repertoire.

The only thing you like left out was:

"...and at this point I was thinking that splash of 'kanga-doe' lure scent the guide had applied might not have been such a good idea."

There's a whole thread over at S'Narc's place called, "Grapplers of the Animal World" and it starts with Kangaroos and their nasty stand-up game.

Seriously, that dude is 6'7" and admittedly that right hook he threw wasn't great...but I can't help but feel it might have really damaged a human...and that kangaroo just looked at him, confused for a moment, before deciding he had better things to do than kick his ass.

Also LOVE the defaulting to a stance of the humans when those 'roos "pop-up" looking for a fight. Straight up like a boxing match is going down.

Big male Kangaroos are just weird to me with that mix of human and non-human qualities. The only dangerous game I've been around are pretty much bears, mountain lions and snakes unless you count the bull on my uncle's farm. Those didn't bother me excessively, But with kangaroos I feel like I'm invading the turf of a gang of athletic aliens dropped off from some other planet onto the Australian penal colony.

Yup. Me too. Kangaroos are definitely in the uncanny valley (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley).

Not my video but funny as hell.

Rode along with a buddy who worked animal control in Mesa, AZ, a fairly large suburb of Phoenix. about 30 mins. before the end of the shift we got a call for a "kangaroo" that escaped from a backyard (turned out to be a wallaby that was about 40 lbs.), but we didn't know that until the very end. We thought we were chasing a 6', 100 lb. kangaroo, and I had a mental image of something from a Loony Toons cartoon, boxing gloves and all. About a year before my buddy had been bitten by a donkey, and never heard the end of it...I figured that when (not if, but when) this "kangaroo" kicked our ass, we were going to have to move out of state just to get away from the jokes. Fortunately we corralled Joey the Wallaby and got him safely home without incident, although I was a little worried that a combination of riot-control pepper spray + Taser would have resulted in a flaming marsupial bounding around the neighborhood, and I had to do some fast thinking a few days later when I was interviewed by the Arizona Republic and they asked hard questions like "how did you intend to catch this animal?"

Do you have a link to this? It's dead week, and I'm not Googling shit.
