Didn't a man got beaten to death by a kangaroo?
Hi Ake. I doubt you would see this in Sweden. Kangaroos are wild animals and usually mind their own business eating grass, do not interact with humans unless they are pets and usually hop away if approached too close. But some like big reds or greys can grow to about two metres tall and weigh about 90kgs. If their territory is threatened or they are provoked or are used to being fed by humans, can become aggressive. We had one south coast NSW holiday where one entered our cabin demanding food and others were snatching food from our children outside the cabin which was quite alarming. I understand the only human deaths from kangaroos were in 1936 and another was reported this year, both from stomachs ripped by their hind feet. Serious attacks on humans are very rare. The fights in my blog are the first I have seen. Very aggressive and lasting for several minutes, the power of the kangas was very much on show. Then they stopped as if nothing had happened and the others seemed disinterested. Go figure!!!
