An elderly woman near Sydney, Australia is lucky to be alive. She was attacked by a large male kangaroo (over 6 feet tall & over 200lbs) when she was walking on her farm. The kangaroo mauled her face, back & hands & she suffered a concussion before her son’s dog rushed to her aid. The dog heard her screaming & chased the kangaroo off. If it hadn’t been for the dog, the woman may have been killed.
This attack wasn’t the first. Kangaroos have overrun that part of Australia, the males in particular are a nuisance, & people have complained about them for years. Obviously kangaroos are not the cute & cuddly animals we see on TV or in the zoo. WaMu/Washington Mutual (the bank) may want to rethink their latest commercial showing people being safe & secure in a kangaroos pouch!
