In October of this year, a video emerged online, capturing a kangaroo's attempt to drown a dog in a river in Australia. However, this incident is not an isolated occurrence, as it turns out that marsupials have employed this peculiar tactic before. Mick Moloney, while strolling along the banks of the Murray River in northwestern Victoria, Australia, suddenly realized that his loyal companion, Hutchy, was nowhere to be found. His gaze shifted towards the water, where he witnessed a kangaroo standing waist-deep, with its arms submerged. To his astonishment, Hutchy emerged from the water gasping for air, expelling water from his mouth, and howling in distress. Moloney recounted this harrowing experience to the Australian broadcaster 7News.
Without hesitation, Moloney waded through the river to rescue his dog, who was ensnared by the kangaroo. A viral video captured the moment when Moloney took a swing at the offender. In retaliation, the kangaroo delivered a punch.

I think we now know why it was used as a penal colony.
A dingo ate my baby.

They've never rebelled unlike the Americans. So they'll either become Islamic or the next version of the Soviet Union.
USA? Hard to tell.
Tonight as I post this, there is a kangaroo unt by police in Oshawa ONtario, Canada........they are worried what the thing might do to someone.
Oh dear! I have to admit that I’ve never thought about this issue.
Speculation seems the dogs remind the roos of their #1 predator, the wild dingo. Did you see the biceps on that first roo? Not surprised they can drown a big dog.
They described a breed of kangaroos in that article that grows to over 200 pounds. Depending on the circumstances, I would think a roo that size can drown people.

I saw that! It’s amazing how muscular and violent those animals can be. It makes sense that they see every dog as a wild dingo which is one of their predators.
I along with others posted this article and pictures last month.

“Kangaroo courts don’t matter in the end if the Supreme Court is honest.”
Unfortunately you are wrong, A kangaroo court can cost you a lot of money and time.
I learned this when I was much younger.
The Traffic court was very upset after I hopped out of the court room making Kangaroo noises

Yeah but they’re good eating. I’ve had a few roo burgers and steaks so I can confirm that.
Never had kangaroo but can confirm that zebra is tasty. Lion not so much.
