Woman gets 'attacked' by kangaroo after trying to get close enough to pat it


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

A woman has realised what happens when you get a little too close and personal with nature.

Shakila was walking through the stunning and picturesque landscape of Kangaroo Valley in New South Wales.

The name of the location certainly gives off the vibe that roos will be strolling around en masse.

The tourist was pleasantly treated with an opportunity to pat one of the animals, even though you should definitely not do that.

Roos aren't exactly placid or timid creatures. They will certainly get up in your grill if they feel threatened and it looks like that's exactly what's happened.

@Piney meh pfft for people trying to pet wild animals especially when it's quite possible for them to gut you with one kick. The red Kangaroo can get up to 1.80 m tall and weigh 90 kg.

Because dip**** zoos like Australia Zoo uses tamed animals in photo ops and dumb**** people end up thinking all such animals are safe, especially if they’re not carnivores.

I saw a guy try to pet an elk and get tossed for his trouble. Another time I had to warn a woman who tried to get close to a skunk and pet it. Nature is not a petting zoo. Even domestic animals like cows and donkeys will kill you.
