Nice shot - always good to catch them in their natural environment rather than in zoos.

Violent? They are 18 feet tall with big teeth and huge claws and can carry a full grown human in their pouches. The kangaroo's regular diet includes smaller animals such as wombats, echidnas, wallabies and platypuses.

In fact the movie Evil Angels starring Meryl Streep as Lindy Chamberlain portrayed the taking of the child as having been done by a dingo (native Australian Dog), when the truth is, the child was taken by a big red kangaroo...........
