VIDEO: Kangaroo punches and kicks at man who tried to pet it
Published in Weird News
BRISBANE, Australia (UPI) -- A visitor to a kangaroo sanctuary in Australia learned a valuable lesson about unwanted touching when a kangaroo reacted violently to his stroking.
The video, posted to YouTube by George Nixon, shows the man stroke the back of a kangaroo that's looking in a different direction.
The kangaroo turns to face the man and instantly unleashes a flurry of punches and kicks toward the man, who is able to easily dodge the small marsupial's blows.
Nixon said a keeper told him the kangaroo wasn't actually trying to hurt him.
"The keeper told me they love to be stroked," the man wrote online. When she was trying to kick me he said that she was just playing and this is how young kangaroos spar.
