Do not let their pouches, their ability to stand on two feet or their faces fool you:
Kangaroos are not always cuddly and adorable.
Especially when it comes to dogs, with whom kangaroos in Australia have an especially contentious relationship.
One man and his canine, Max, have gone viral after finding this out the hard (and sort of hilarious) way.
In the following video, a friends friends are on a hunting trip organized for one of their pals, who had recently been diagnosed with cancer.
This sick friend wanted to catch a boar, so the group traveled to New South Wales, with someone filming footage from the vacation in order to share with the cancer patient’s family.
When one of the hunting dogs got snared by the kangaroo, a zookeeper at Westerns Plains Zoo named Greg Tonkins jumped into action.
As you"re about to see, he circled the marsupial like a boxer, landed one shot directly to the animal"s face and successfully rescued the dog, who ran away to safety while the kangaroo stood there dazed.
You can tell he"s thinking: Did this guy really punch me in the face?!?
He then turns and walks away.
We"re not making any of this up.
SEE FOR YOURSELF:
