If it's his pet, how could it be a wild kangaroo?

Any critter that groups of are called a “Mob” is probably best avoided.

Kangaroos have been known to drag a dog into water and drown them. I bet that dog was surprised, it won’t try that again. The man? If he wants to box a roo let him suffer the consequences.

He punched the Kangaroo once and was smart enoughto walk away. That thing was not scared of anyone there.
