It kinda looks like a swatzsticker on his chest

Kanga is deeply shocked and saddened :-(

If it was a gator or a crocodile it would of been even uglier, he wouldn't have been able to of elbowed it in the throat, for his elbow would be in the crocodile's belly.

The roo then grabbed the dog with its front paws and held it under water

Coons will resort to that trick on dogs if they're forced into water when being hunted....

This is typically how roos defend themselves against wild (and domestic) dogs. They're extremely strong swimmers, and if they can get the dog to follow them into the water, they'll drown them, or gut them with the claws on their hind legs.
