    Aren’t kangaroos, like, assholes?

    Or did I get radicalised by those videos where they headlock dogs

    I’m definitely biased towards dogs

      They’re fine enough, they’re wild animals that are protecting themselves. They don’t go looking for trouble generally if that’s your impression.

        Ah okay

        Looked for those videos again

        Only found two, and they weren’t as bad as my memory served

          Nah I get you, it’s hard to know without context.

          Dogs for some reason almost universally go after kangaroos. It’s kind of bizarre actually. They usually just split, but the big males will sometimes stand and fight. Their fighting tactics are grab the head and kick with the back legs, as they do between themselves for territorial disputes. That or they’ll bait you into a pond and drown you. Fun times.
