UM-Bot Posted July 22, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2008 An elderly woman was attacked by a large kangaroo on a farm in Australia and was lucky to be alive after a pet dog leapt to her aid, her son said Saturday. The 6-foot-5-inch kangaroo lunged without warning at 65-year-old Rosemary Neal as she went to check on some horses in a paddock on the property near Mudgee, 160 miles northwest of Sydney on Friday, son Darren Neal said. The kangaroo "just jumped up and launched straight at her," Darren Neal said. View: Full Article | Source: Fox News Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www375 Posted July 22, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2008 We in America always think of kangaroos as sweet and cuddly, but I've heard they can be VERY aggressive at times. Lucky woman................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B'Elanna Posted December 21, 2008 #6 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Weird stuff... Never thought I would hear about kangoros doing this. The males can be aggressive and territorial in the wild and the largest ones, esp red kangaroos which are extremely powerful animals, if you get in it's path you are in trouble. They really only fight each other and there have been cases where humans have been attacked but it's really rare . There are a few Eastern Greys in zoos and things over here and they're pretty docile creatures, very friendly really. http://www.articlesbase.com/pets-articles/...oos-199481.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangaroo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
