Beware: There's a Punch with that Pouch!

Not many have heard and it needs to be made a bit public, but Kangaroos are not the nicest animal in the world. Some may say have now have a bit fear of them, but once you hear about what they can (and probably will) do; you'll be glad you have been warned.

Kangaroos have been known to attack (and attack at night when know one can suspect it). They also have this toe nail (like a Raptor). It can grab you with its short arms and then cut you from neck to navel with it's claw! Also mother Kangaroos if being chased by a dingo will throw the joey out of her pouch to save her life (mother of the year right there!).

Here's just one of many articles that has been documented on kangaroo attacks!
