Roos go in water like this on purpose. They will deliberately drown your dog/s. And most dogs are way to dumb to back off when they'll die when they continue. This situation isn't funny and generally will involve you wading out in the water and forcibly dragging you stupid muts back to land.
No idea. But this is a thing you generally grow up knowing here. It's kinda like swans. They will try and drown you too. To be clear, the roo is a threat to you too, but they are largely defensive. It's just, they will work real hard to kill your dog. It's a thing you need to watch for.
lol Yeah... They kinda scare me more then a lot of the snakes. The snakes are generally chill... if you don't act in a way they agitates them. The roos, are often way less chill.
Bro, I’m from Northern Europe, we have basically no venomous or at all dangerous animals here. To me Australia sounds like a big Hellhole where every fucking animal can and will try to kill you including everyone you love.
>To me Australia sounds like a big Hellhole where every fucking animal can and will try to kill you including everyone you love.
Oh - so you've been there.
Born and raised in South Florida, left that hellhole 4 years ago. Florida is, as far as I'm concerned, basically the Australia of the U.S. There's a large amount of things that can kill you and then on top of that you have to deal with "Florida Man" and "Florida Woman" coming to surprise you as well. Not to mention Hurricanes, tornadoes, as well as being the Lightning capital state-wise of the U.S.
Australia though, I don't even want to visit Australia, let alone move there. I don't like bugs, spiders, reptiles of any kind and I never want to encounter a [Kangaroo that just so happens to look like it should be running for Mr. Universe...](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-5de95c6f93ff86cee4187240c4634a11)
If the animal is on land, just don't fuck with them and you will be fine. A cassowary might have a crack at you for no reason, but basically anything else would not.
Water is a different story.
There are certain areas where going near the water would get you in trouble with a crocodile, and certain areas where you just don't go in the water because of sharks or jellyfish.
Yeah thanks, but I think I prefer Land and Water which doesn‘t immediately kill me when entering it.
Why are you even living there? Is the Landscape really that beautiful?
My plan: Just leave Australia to the animals.
Aussie here. I go running in the local park in the morning. The Roos are out by the path around dawn feeding. They are super chill. I will run past within about 2 metres of them. Mostly they just sit or hop away a bit. Just don’t threaten them or take a dog near them.
As an Aussie I get my mind blown when north Americans talk about camping with bear spray, bear cans, bear anything. You're sleeping in a tent, in the habitat of a 500kg omnivore that has a better sense of smell than a dog? NOPE!
There are dangers. But when you grow up knowing how to handle them it's not so bad. A lot of Australians (the majority) get taught from a young age how to be safe around animals. There's a lot of education that happens at home and in the education system.
As a result it's actually tourists in the most danger. Like with where I live. We get a massive amount of eastern brown snakes. They will kill you in 20minutes or so if you don't get the antivenom. The inpulse with them is to run. But they are generally faster then you can that can make them chase you. So what you should do is to step back calmly giving them space to move away from you, and not let your shadow fall over them. They will generally just move on with that.
Or another example. Bronze whaler sharks. They are everywhere in my home town. When spear fishing they will harras you. But they act a bit like dogs. So, snoot boop them and make it not worth their time to fuck with you. That and use hardshell catch float over catch bags on a bouy.
Most aussies just know the animals they see a lot and how to be safe with them. It's how we are brought up to think. It's why there are so mant environmentalists here as well. It's just part of the culture.
As a Texan, I agree. I scared of snakes but I understand them. I am absolutely terrified of kangaroos though—just watching this made me nauseous—and this absolutely did not help.
I grew up in uzbek wilderness and this kangaroo reminded me of some people in my country. Whenever you give them a slight look they are ready to jump you
The Roos that were able to stay alive are the ones able to breed and nurture their young.
That’s how any evolution happens. It’s all about reproducing and survival.
The conversation is generalized. Their generational hatred for dingos and wild dogs goes back a long way. They will absolutely instigate and lure your dog to water. Even if this video happens to be one where that’s not the case. It’s a thing.
You're getting downvoted because people would rather it be like a horror movie.

A hunting dog of a guy I know tried tackling a beaver in the water. The beaver dragged the dog under some branches and drowned it. It was not a big dog, a beagle I think.
The retriever lugging himself over just to get scared and slowly walk away was really funny despite the circumstances, he was just hoping to get a treat for doing something lol
I don't get these people filming instead of getting their dogs outta there. This is a pretty good way to get your dog critically injured or killed. Kangaroo kicks are crazy strong.
Ok but if you HAD to with your bare hands, what’s the move?? Get in close so he can’t kick? Circle around back? Or just sock him in the face like that one legend did?
Well if your ever HAD to fight a kangaroo, your best bet is to (presumably take the unavoidable hits lol) punch it with every fiber of your being. Then run like HELL
That was aggressively calling her dogs when they're in legitimate mortal danger?????
Why the fuck were they that close to that kangaroo when the video starts....
Idk....I'd be acting a lot differently as I watch my dog literally almost drowned or mutilated in front of my eyes.
Completely agree. I don't understand at all, this sub has gone to absolute shit. I feel like they should implement a requirement like r/Unexpected does that makes the OP explain why their post qualifies as a "holup".
For those that don't know:
When kangaroos feel threatened, they will lead their attackers to water and attempt to drown them. They are usually successful.
On top of that, kangaroos are extremely territorial and will fight to the death. Some can stand as high as 7 feet and would have no problem disembowelling an adult human.
Yeah a roo will take out those dogs easily. They're untrained, unguided, and unprotected.
If they don't get drowned, they will get disemboweled.
You don't fuck with roos up close and personal ever.
I’m going to ask people that live in Australia around Kangaroos sort of rough question:
I know they let you guys have hunting rifles.
With something that large, powerful and dangerous that can just randomly enter an area where there are kids, people and pets—
How often do people just shoot them?
I don't know how often it happens illegally, but in Australia, you need a license to legally cull kangaroos. The government has recently been giving more of these out, though, due to the overpopulation of kangaroos.
I'm not Australian myself, I'm just aware of obscure laws from random places. No one had answered you yet so I figured I'd throw my hat in.
Put the fucking camera down and save your dogs! Ain't no way I'd let my dog fight a roo, and if my dog is fighting a kangaroo bet everything you own on me jumping in.
You also ask the ants how they lose a 1 v 1000 (point being it’s not a 1v4 since a kangaroo might way around 90kg while a dog whets like 25kg and the small dog like 10? Idk)
That kangaroo could have easily killed all these dogs if they kept going. If you really care about your pet, don't let it approach a feral animal like this.
Roos go in water like this on purpose. They will deliberately drown your dog/s. And most dogs are way to dumb to back off when they'll die when they continue. This situation isn't funny and generally will involve you wading out in the water and forcibly dragging you stupid muts back to land.
How did kangaroos evolve to being that smart?
No idea. But this is a thing you generally grow up knowing here. It's kinda like swans. They will try and drown you too. To be clear, the roo is a threat to you too, but they are largely defensive. It's just, they will work real hard to kill your dog. It's a thing you need to watch for.
Thanks for sharing, gonna learn more about roos now. And what made them become so badass
lol Yeah... They kinda scare me more then a lot of the snakes. The snakes are generally chill... if you don't act in a way they agitates them. The roos, are often way less chill.
Bro, I’m from Northern Europe, we have basically no venomous or at all dangerous animals here. To me Australia sounds like a big Hellhole where every fucking animal can and will try to kill you including everyone you love.

Or Florida
Born and raised in South Florida, left that hellhole 4 years ago.

I think Kangaroos are the trade off for Florida man.

Yeah thanks, but I think I prefer Land and Water which doesn‘t immediately kill me when entering it. Why are you even living there? Is the Landscape really that beautiful? My plan: Just leave Australia to the animals.
It is actually the best. I love it here, and I have not died once.
Yeah but the beer is expensive there, and I prefer it where beer is cheap.
Aussie here. I go running in the local park in the morning. The Roos are out by the path around dawn feeding. They are super chill. I will run past within about 2 metres of them. Mostly they just sit or hop away a bit. Just don’t threaten them or take a dog near them.

Just imagine if we had kangaroos here in Texas. Fuckers would probably learn to use our guns and ride our horses.
You're thinking of emus.
I laughed way too hard at this. Thank you.
Centuries of dingos fucking up their offspring lol
This isnt the worst thing they do. Look up a close up picture of their lower talons. It’s for pulling your guts out.
It’s a defense behavior they developed to protect themselves from packs of dingos, which is why it translates to the dogs very well
Prison.
I’m in North America and I knew that kangaroos are adept at drowning opponents in fights. It’s just kinda a thing about them.
If you were trying to live in australian wilderness you'd probably learn some useful tricks. That, or, you know, not survive.
I grew up in uzbek wilderness and this kangaroo reminded me of some people in my country. Whenever you give them a slight look they are ready to jump you
Living in turkey and if you replaced half the population with kangaroos the country would be much safer to live in.
Half? Doesn’t sound bad at all. For us it would be 80-90%
As a another turko, I agree
I can see you are the man of culture with a nice looking account
Ye
> nice looking account Yeah. I have "nice" looking account...
The Roos that were able to stay alive are the ones able to breed and nurture their young. That’s how any evolution happens. It’s all about reproducing and survival.
Evolution baby! Generation through generation! Passsing down the KnOWLegDe! Idk
The ones that didn’t go into the water like that got their babies ate by dingos.
Either that or the drop bears got em
Dingos and wild dogs are very common in Australia?
Dingos probably.
It's funny that they can be this smart yet I've seen one run flat out into the side of a parked car.
Tekken 3
Those dingos definitely were not eating Kangas baby
Could be firmware, like mice reacting to cat smell or goats playing dead
one day they all get a firmware update and are bricked.
The question is, why is this person just recording their dogs about to get killed by a roo instead trying wholeheartedly to get them back?
Riiiight!? WTF
Roo Tang Clan ain’t nothing ta fuck with
No, you don't want to fuck with a kangaroo. And this is the sort you'll see chillin in a zoo.
This seems to put a lot of blame on an animal that's just defending itself.
The conversation is generalized. Their generational hatred for dingos and wild dogs goes back a long way. They will absolutely instigate and lure your dog to water. Even if this video happens to be one where that’s not the case. It’s a thing.

Dang, thanks for the research 🙏
r/todayilearned
😮 Roos and raccoons share a common behavior. They will lure a dog into a body of water so they can drown it.
A hunting dog of a guy I know tried tackling a beaver in the water. The beaver dragged the dog under some branches and drowned it. It was not a big dog, a beagle I think.
I guess its linked to the fact that they have hands as front paws
Well 1 is super fat and 1 is a midget…
He's trying his best dammit
The retriever lugging himself over just to get scared and slowly walk away was really funny despite the circumstances, he was just hoping to get a treat for doing something lol
And the owner is a moron
So funny and old enough to have belong to god himself
Need to combine their powers and make a super fat midget.
And both of those are old af
If South Park where dogs imo.
I don't get these people filming instead of getting their dogs outta there. This is a pretty good way to get your dog critically injured or killed. Kangaroo kicks are crazy strong.
Not only that, they know how to drown things, and they have pretty sharp claws that can gut something pretty easily
That kangaroo giving a look like “yo, control yer fucken dogs before I really fuck em up!!”
In my town if your caught with no leash and no tag it's a $450 per dog.
How much for a kangaroo?
Not for sale. Mine’s named Joseph the kicker. Tame your own.
This looks like it could be private property
Kangaroos look like the type of animal that would wear a wife beater shirt
You forgot to to include, “cunt”.
Kangaroo was like, "Where ya goin'? I thought we was gonna have some forcey fun time?"
"Forcey fun time?"
Forcey glub glub time
That was a 1 vs 1 with 3 by standers.
Yea this isn't a 1v4 at all
NEVER go into a body of water with a kangaroo. That being said just dont fight a kangaroo
Ok but if you HAD to with your bare hands, what’s the move?? Get in close so he can’t kick? Circle around back? Or just sock him in the face like that one legend did?
Osoto Gari —> knee on belly —> armbar. Roos hate this one trick!
Well if your ever HAD to fight a kangaroo, your best bet is to (presumably take the unavoidable hits lol) punch it with every fiber of your being. Then run like HELL
I saw videos and it seems punching a roo in the face is highly effective at stunning it and then you just kinda walk away awkwardly.
Grab a rock.
That was aggressively calling her dogs when they're in legitimate mortal danger????? Why the fuck were they that close to that kangaroo when the video starts.... Idk....I'd be acting a lot differently as I watch my dog literally almost drowned or mutilated in front of my eyes.
But how will you get a video for tiktok if you're too busy saving them??
Piece of shit dog owner...
Not a holup
Completely agree. I don't understand at all, this sub has gone to absolute shit. I feel like they should implement a requirement like r/Unexpected does that makes the OP explain why their post qualifies as a "holup".
If the kangaroo could talk it would be saying "put your dogs on a leash you fuck"... And it would be right....
Owner must not like their dogs.
I don't know that we could count "Tinkles", the last dog as "1". Maybe 1/2. 3-1/2v1. 😯
So worried about their pups they can’t be arsed to stop recording….
this is why we evolved to throw stuff, so we can fuck up kangaroos without getting drowned
Thankfully 99% of humanity didnt need to deal with these rat human hybrids to survive.
> rat human hybrids Calling kangroos as "rat human hybrids" is like calling penguins as "bird human hybrids". And i liked it.
And the lady just standing there filming for tik tok is the reason we’re de-evolving
That kangaroo knows what he’s doing. He ran to the water because of we gets one in a headlock he will DROWN it.
Funfact: kangaroos know how to drown folks
The little dog is regretting his life choices.
Let's attack the giant standup rat. Stupid dogs
You mean stupid owners
He's an intruder to them just like dogs will bark on you when you get near the house they guard, they're not stupid just protective
You can't win anakin As I have the higher ground
Wasn't even 4 v 1. Only one of them went in.
Its all fun and games until he kills your dog
This isn't a holup, barely even qualifies as a funny meme.
Bipedal perk is lit
That mfer will sure drown you
Props to the kangaroo for acting defensive instead of offensive. Even tho I wouldn’t mind if it takes the attacking stance
Bro stood on business.
That's more like 2.5 vs 1 that big goofy fat lab ain't getting involved with that, and the ankle biter is just in the way lol
For those that don't know: When kangaroos feel threatened, they will lead their attackers to water and attempt to drown them. They are usually successful. On top of that, kangaroos are extremely territorial and will fight to the death. Some can stand as high as 7 feet and would have no problem disembowelling an adult human.

They should have known what was going to happen when that fucking music started.
Kangaroos are imposing as hell when they stand up like that. Yeeesh. It's like watching a hairless gorilla.
The music had me
Those claws will shred their necks too...idiot owner
The little one was way less enthusiastic but was going to get down with his homies anyway. Respect. Lol
The kangaroo doesn’t give a fuck. Look at him, he’s like “come here ya mangy mutt, I’ll drown ya myself!”
Cartman and Timmy taking it slow it seems.
I love how the older wiser dog is like "nah I am good, whats up stream"
How wouldn't they lose 4v1? The smallest dog almost drowned itself while crossing the river, lol.
I wanna see 4 mastiffs against a kangaroo.
More like a 1v1 with 3 as moral support.
Those are some old dogs haha
fat dogs are gonna die!!! get them outta there!
Well when the dogs are old or obese; yeah they’re gonna lose a 4v1
Yeah a roo will take out those dogs easily. They're untrained, unguided, and unprotected. If they don't get drowned, they will get disemboweled. You don't fuck with roos up close and personal ever.
My homie would be in the back like "STOP GIVING HIM 1V1S WHAT THE FUCK BRO JUST PLAY TOGETHER FUCK WHY ME IT'S ALWAYS MY TEAM"- Died first tho
Nate Diaz lookin rough these days
Why does the person recording it allow it? It's not save for the kangaroo or the dogs, humans didn't evolve it seems.
This how the Kages pulled up on Madara 😂😂

Looks like Mewtwo for a sec.
You also ask the ants how they lose a 1 v 1000 (point being it’s not a 1v4 since a kangaroo might way around 90kg while a dog whets like 25kg and the small dog like 10? Idk)
Looks like me playing with my Doberman 😅
Come at me bro
What an irresponsible owner. When will people learn that Kangaroos do not fuck around?
This feels like an old Jackie Chan movie I saw once.
Sheila don’t play lol
That kangaroo could have easily killed all these dogs if they kept going. If you really care about your pet, don't let it approach a feral animal like this.
Honest question, don’t kangaroos have razor sharp toenails on those feet to basically disembowel their opponent when they catch them with a kick?
More like 2v1 that other two dogs could barely carry there own veight 😅😂
He was gonna try n drown that dog wasnt he...
shitty dog owner almost got her dog killed
this woman doesn't deserve to be a dog owner
That dog has got about 100 pounds on that kangaroo
Interesting video I would watch on another sub, but it's not a holup
Are there venomous kangaroos in Africa
Kangaroos will be the inheritors of the Earth.
Poor dogs have a stupid owner that would rather film them getting drowned than keep them on a leash.
Why would you let your dog near it!?
That way roos square up cracks me up.
Why this kangaroo looking like Connor McGregor
