Savage roo mauls Oz man An Oz man has taken a serious pasting at the hands of a "savage" kangaroo which was attempting to drown his dog, the Herald Sun reports. Chris Rickard, 49, was walking on his property in Arthurs Creek, Victoria with his pet mutt Rocky when the pair woke the 'roo, which was having a kip in long grass next to his farm dam (water …
"What's that Skippy? Uncle Chris has been mauled by a wild roo? Strewth, who would do such a thing? What?! You, Skippy?! No, Skippy, now put that gun down. No Skippy, no! Good Skippy? Please?"
I'd watch that series again if this was the new approach!
If for one welcome our new ... etc.
Skippy was an eastern grey kangaroo, played by at least nine roos, probably young because even for greys, they're small.
see the poster, that's a kangaroo.

Where did this wallaby story come from?
Just had a flashback to a visit to an open zoo in the QLD Gold Coast back in '87.
Walking around the 'roo paddock I came across one who was busy scratching himself on the stomach. Did the obvious stupid move a kid can do: I place myself in front of him and mimicked him. Do *not* mimic a boomer - bad idea as they have no sense of humour. Next thing I know, I'm on the ground a few meters away with my track-suit top ripped and the imprint of two kangaroo paws on my chest.
The damn thing must have taken pity on the obviously crazy individual - not a scratch on me apart from the bruises.
We'd have gunned the kangaroo down immediately, in defense of our dog.
Of course, in some of these parts the dog would have outmassed the kangaroo. That's another reason we need the guns.
Paris, because in a situation like this the kangaroo would have been drowning her mobile and whatever else was in her purse along with the dog.
There's a kangaroo sleeping in the grass, this guy's dog chases after it, the kangaroo defends itself by grabbing the dog and trying to drown it, the owner comes along and tries to get the kangaroo off the dog, the kangaroo quite naturally assumes that this guy is in league with the dog and starts on him as well.
And he was surprised by all of this?
Look cobber, substitute the word "kangaroo" with "crocodile" and see if you start to get the picture.
Let sleeping roos lie, that's what I say....
