Dude fights off kangaroo to save his dog

If that were a wild roo, it would have kicked his butt. I think it was a pet or something and he was stopping a fight. When he hit it, it was like "what the heck man!?"
 
Roo: "that's all you got? where you going?" Fire a shot in the air should've disrupted it? Oh, in AU (duh)...
I would've done the same, get the outta dodge:D Respect for going to get the pup though most definitely.

Kangaroo's are known for grabbing dogs in a headlock and dragging them into shallow water to drown them.

Didn't look like there was much water around, but that was a solid headlock.

The funny part in all this is that was probably the best punch that dude as ever thrown and the kangaroo took it like it was nothing. My friends and I always have this bar argument about what the largest animal is that we think we could kill if we were locked in an empty 12 ft by 12 ft room with it completely naked.

The only agreement we've come to is that humans routinely overestimate their ability to fight wild animals.

Kangaroo's also have claws on their back feet and have been known to disembowel people and animals, so this dude really stood zero chance if this went south.

Agree. One "exception" I make is for wild/rabid dog/wolf...if they are on top of you; split their front legs open - cracks their ribcages (sry for being a little graphic). So if attacked by dog and end up knocked back, get them by those front legs if possible. Love dogs; just good thing to know in a last resort situation, etc. Just learned that as a kid in case an attack dog got loose or coyotes in WV.

Are you allowed any weapons or bare fisted? Maybe a crowbar or hammer?

Do people have pet kangaroos? I've always heard Aussies view them as a pest.

yup....any time I square off with a roo, I always keep him at an arms length. Grappling with them only leads to trouble! ;)
 
Man who punched out kangaroo is a ZOOKEEPER
Elephant keeper at Taronga says he was 'only trying to divert the roo' when it attacked his dog - as bosses launch an investigation

The man who heroically punched a kangaroo to save his pet dog is a zookeeper and 'family man' who was out on a special hunt with a dying friend.

Greig Tonkins, 34, found himself at the centre of international attention on the weekend after a video of him fighting a marsupial to save his beloved dog 'Max' went viral.

Mr Tonkins, who Daily Mail Australia can reveal is an elephant keeper at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo, New South Wales, was out hunting wild pigs with a group of friends in June when his dog was attacked by the roo, however video of the incident only went viral recently after it was posted to Facebook.

This is a thread about a man punching a kangaroo and you went and made it weird. :p

Also, the answer is the largest baby blue whale that can be fit in a 12 x 12 room but unable to move. Just cover its blow hole and wait for it to suffocate.

Making things weird is what I do.

A baby blue whale is born 28 feet long, nice try! Those things are so big it could probably roll over and crush a human without even feeling it.
 
No way. A well trained fighter could take down a kangaroo in MMA. Any day.
