I’m just going to put it out there, kangaroos scare the crap out of me

[Wellthisisallfuckingmarvellous]

I’ve just watched a video of a kangaroo banging aggressively on some glass.

It’s scary as hell. Then I made the mistake of googling kangaroos attack.

It’s a slow work day.

Just me? Or is there a benignly normal animal that scares the bejesus out of you.

Hehe I live in Western Australia and have about 10 come into my backyard and nibble on the grass every evening 😊😊

Be careful @whinetime89 they’re casing the joint. You’ll wake up one night and they’ll all be there watching you 👀

Or pushing her down a well

@DavidsSchitt erm what the hell is that?

@iklboo see this is my point he is even screwing up a bin to show off his pure strength.

Maybe kangaroos are the animal worlds version of this.

Just an overly aggressive muscular man with issues.

That's a scary video!

I hate monkeys, they are crafty & mean

Sloths...

Freak me the fuck out.

They disturbing and weird and should not be trusted.

Woah, just watched those kanga videos... super disturbing.

I thought kangaroos were cute, bouncy, fluffy things... how wrong was I?

I was walking in a wildlife reserve & a tree next to me started shaking. Looked up & the monkey locked eyes & showed me his teeth, was growling at me- shit myself

I'm having a bad day so treated myself to rereading the first page of the dolphin thread which I think is my favourite thread ever.
First time I read it I had to go for a walk to stop laughing.

@Unfucked

They look like giant rats.

Normal sized rats scare the shit out of me, so seeing them scaled up is beyond my worst nightmares.

I don’t like koalas either. Or many of the Australians i’ve met, in fact.

Dolphin thread?

Do share......

People keep saying they can't stand monkeys or apes
But we ARE apes. Is that why - like looking in a distorted mirror of ourselves or something?

I don’t think we are apes are we ? I thought the fact that we evolved from apes has been debunked.

Technically apes and us descend from a common ape-like ancestor I think. And 98 % of our DNA is shared with chimpanzees.

I feel like they are as clever as us but without the human "rules" if that makes sense.

Like if a random human bites you we know as a society it's weird & murder is also not within the acceptable norms whereas I feel with chimps etc its completely normal

Here you go plink plink

It's got everything you could ever want....

Raccoons. They are much bigger than I thought and there are tons of creepy photos of gangs of them surrounding people and staring at them. One dropped out of a tree in front of me one night as I was walking home and I nearly had kittens.

Also bears. Because... well, because they're bears.

They are very good at keeping pests from your garden.

*Shut the front door, is this true? They drown dogs?!?!*

From wiki

Kangaroos and wallabies are adept swimmers, and often flee into waterways if presented with the option. If pursued into the water, a large kangaroo may use its forepaws to hold the predator underwater so as to drown it.[42] Another defensive tactic described by witnesses is catching the attacking dog with the forepaws and disembowelling it with the hind legs.

See, I didn't know any of that yet I still hated them. Always trust your instincts Holdon, trust your instincts.

Yeah, but if the dog is going after them, presumably to kill them, you kind of think 'fair enough'.

Opossums, they way they carry their young on their back gives me the boke. Stupid name too.
Sloths, not too bad when they are hanging from a branch but fuck me have you seen one on the ground? The drag along like something out of a Zombie film.
