Violence in the Streets

kangaroos

Despite what some people may think, we generally don’t have kangaroos wandering down every street in Australia. However, they’re never too far away and YouTuber Rodney Langham captured the video below of a couple of boxing kangaroos in a suburban street in New South Wales on the east coast of Australia.

I don’t know if anyone questioned the roos to find out what their disagreement was about but I certainly wouldn’t like to be the one to step in between them to try to calm things down.

I left the campsite to head to work quite early this morning and as I drove towards the gate I noticed I was being watched. There was a very large kangaroo having breakfast on the sports oval.

The roo was looking directly at me. I stopped to watch him for a while. He watched me a little longer before bounding off, followed by another, smaller, kangaroo that I hadn’t spotted earlier.

I’m glad they headed off. I might have just sat and watched them for the rest of the day if they’d stayed there.

I know that they’re not suited to suburban back yards so I’ll never be able to have a kangaroo as a pet but they really are majestic animals. Being able to see roos so close to suburbia is just another reason that I love living in Australia.
