I didn't notice what all the fuss was about until I noticed it's in America. This is completely normal over here

Unless it's a different one, this hoppy boy has been running around Glenpool for around 6 months now.
The name is Martha, apparently it has been returned to its owner who lost it recently. That may be an entirely different escaped kangaroo.
Then of course, the matter of the kangaroos hopping around the courts of Stillwater…
Why are there all these kangaroos in Oklahoma?
Careful yanks, those bastards will appear from nowhere to fuck up your day, and your front bumper.
They are essentially deer who get about on their back legs behavior wise.
I dunno, the big males will also staunch you and try to throw down with some pretty nasty claws if you get too close to what they see as being their territory. They can kick like motherfuckers too by leaning back on their tails.
There was a big boy we called Ol’ Roger who used to live near my friend’s holiday house and when Ol’ Roger decided he wanted to hang out in the yard we made sure to give him a wide berth. He was about 6’6” standing upright; had ripped muscles like he had just got out of a 10-year stint in gaol; and always had a really mean look on his face. Thankfully he never got into any biff with us but there were a couple of close calls where people had to duck inside quick smart when he started heading towards them.
I'm Australian, Ive literally encountered them domesticated and in the wild hundreds of times in my life.
But if an American has seen a video I must be wrong.
Dogs can also rip out throats, but the actual occurrences are rare. I think that's what they're saying. Deer definitely can do it too, which you said in another post is that your understanding is that Kangaroos are more violent. Which, are they? Or is that just your impression of a foreign animal you've only heard newsworthy stuff about as opposed to animals you regularly encounter in your home country?
You don't think deer would do that if they had hands? Large herbivores can be fucking brutal.
I’ve read about them tearing people’s innards out with their claws.
I have news about deer antlers
Now I'm off to see how they are as pets. Awful would be my guess.
Yes, but people keep children at home and they can suck as well.
The females are kind and gentle, the males are awful, both taste great.
It's that time to post about Travis again

Some animals shouldn't be kept as pets
I don't know but as Oklahoman, I promise we don't want one of these as a pet. We're not Florida man.
Just waiting for a mate
🎶Ooooaaaaaaklhoma, where the 'roos come hoppin' down the plain. With poverty, as far as you can see, and casinos on each reserv - a - tion.
Well we know that you're stuck on that land. And the land that you're stuck on is bland. And when we saayyyyy, Yeeow! Ayipioeeay! We're only sayin' are you sure you're fine, Oklahoma? You don't look like you're OK.🎶
Now imagine they’re everywhere.
I've seen enough of this AI slop!
The legs look completely off and the tar patch on the road fades into the yellow line.
