It was a long trip to Kangaroo Country (Australia) but worth all the effort. I've always wanted to get close to these creatures because they're so unusual. (don't see many in America) I assumed we would have to be in the interior of Australia but was mistaken. These guys were in a big field next to a busy highway. It's fenced, but a Kangaroo can jump a 10 ft. fence like it wasn't even there. The hind legs are powerful, and (believe it or not) can be quite lethal, if they should decide to pounce on you.
Take a look at the "nails" on this guy!
If they hit you just right, they could disembowel you, quicker than you can skin a jack rabbit. Fortunately they avoided us, for the most part, and at times you could get pretty close to them.
