This kangaroo fight on video has gone viral today. The kangaroos look like a couple of gang members going at it in suburbia.
Two kangaroos are fighting on a neighborhood street in Australia. As you can see in the video above, they use their tails to balance themselves as they kick each other with both feet. If they were a couple of humans, you might call that dirty fighting, but nothing is unethical in an animal kingdom brawl.
While watching the two go at each other, every once in a while you get a glimpse of a human-like move. It is almost like watching two big men boxing in kangaroo costumes, until you see what they do with their legs. No human alive can do that!
This round took place in the middle of the street in New South Wales on Australia's Central Coast. These two kangaroos carry on for a while in the street and then they move this boxing match into some poor bloke's front yard.
Eventually the two dispersed on their own. These guys are strong, you wouldn't want to intervene and attempt to break up this sparing event. A kangaroo could kill you with one kick of those powerful hind legs.
According to the Scribol Environmental website, "Don’t mess with the kangaroo." These boxing wild animals reach up to seven-feet tall and can weigh 200 pounds. It is not their size, but their muscle strength that makes them the "boxing champs of the animal kingdom."
Much like when human's box, kangaroos have their own type of jabs which are unique to their species. Fore-paw jabs are one move you will witness in a kangaroo fight. They also use their legs for their own unique kick-boxing like movements.
Unlike humans when boxing, the kangaroos don't get too banged up while jabbing at each other in the face. The real damage during one of these sparring episodes is done with their powerful hind legs. According to Scribol, a kick from one of the kangaroo's legs can cause some "serious damage." These adorable animals from the land down under are cute, but dangerous!
