>The man who heroically punched a kangaroo to save his pet dog is a zoo keeper and 'family man' who was out on a special hunt with a dying friend. >Greig Tonkins, 34, found himself at the centre of international attention on the weekend after a video of him fighting a marsupial to save his beloved dog 'Max' went viral. Mr Tonkins, who Daily Mail Australia can reveal is an elephant keeper at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo, New South Wales, was out hunting wild pigs with a group of friends in June when his dog was attacked by the roo, however video of the incident only went viral recently after it was posted to Facebook. An elephant keeper standing more than 200 centimetres tall, Mr Tonkins stood toe to toe with the huge marsupial in the footage viewed by millions.
They have the balls to do this to Kangaroos but not with Emus.
Ignore the flag bit, it's the ubiquitous sports related flag. Check out the other info though.

They can disembowel you with one kick.
Mostly though they bitchslap sluts at nature reserves that don't hand over their apples.
Robert Nelson
Depends I guess. A kick from a kangaroo will fuck you up though.
Sebastian Scott
No they can;t.
Nathaniel Collins
Emus are the Aussie jew
David Rodriguez
Yeah, I've seen them both wild and in captivity.
Frankly it makes me sick to think of these wild, giant birds being stuck in a cage. I know we joke about them here, but I'm serious when I say they deserve to be free, not locked up like a fucking rabid dog.
Jaxon Phillips

Kayden Lopez
They grab you with their forearms then jump kick you in the stomach with those fuckoff claws
You bet your arse you're getting disembowelled
Isaiah Garcia
Yes they can dickhead.
Cameron White
Emus are impervious to punches.
Perth wouldn't be standing today if it wasn't for the foresight of someone to drop a couple of weazelballs down while we staged the retreat.
Owen Garcia
Who's got the sauce on OP?
John Hernandez
I'm just imagining Kangaroos released in Texas... Dear god. No one could stop them.
Jason Hill
I genuinely get upset at that crossbow scene even as an adult.
Parker Williams

Josiah Jenkins
You've never heard of kangaroo boxing?
Is there any kangaroo boxing still going on down there?
Jackson Nelson
I'm convinced Australia doesn't exist
Justin Wilson
>released in Texas I'm imaging a highly entertaining species war. I'd pay money to see a Chicano fight a 'Roo
Carter Diaz
Not really. They get all confused and don't really do what's happening or where their opponent is and how they should attack them. Kind of like fighting a girl I guess.

Asher Sullivan

Australia doesn't even exist. You faked all that footage in Mexico.
Julian Rivera
They get quite large. A wallaby would be better. They look the same but grow to 1/3 the size
Gavin Fisher
That's a bull kangaroo, they're all ripped as fuck.
Ryder Phillips
i reckon roo war is soon if anyone drives down the national highway all the way to south Australia its a genocide

Justin Butler

Sebastian Powell
This is clearly an emu suffering a PTSD episode from his time in the emu war. that ball probably reminded him of a grenade thrown at his troops.
Samuel Parker
holy shit that's fantastic oh god the way that kangartoo just stands there reconsidering his choice and then runs off like a bitch

Just rain for 3 days and high speed winds. Few deaths for goverment negligence but nothing out of normal.

He was brave enough to do it with a roo. The most dangerous part of a kangaroo is its' hind legs. Let it balance on its' tail for the split second it needs to kick you, and you can say goodbye to the lower part of your stomach. Those claws are huge.
Also, an emu is IMHO much more dangerous than a roo, because of its' beak. If you try and start something with an emu, the first thing he's going to go straight for will be your eyes. There is also much less available surface area to hit with an emu; it has a small head on a long neck, with a big body that you will need to bend down in order to hit. Emus also have very powerful legs; you don't want to get a kick from them.
If I had to choose between fighting a kangaroo or an emu, I would choose the roo, but I would still in no way be enthusiastic about it. Skippy can go hard in mating season, if you get him sufficiently angry.
Benjamin Martin
another day in Australia
Jackson Foster
Strayans are just butthurt they got beaten by emus so they take it out on the roos.
Kinda like you're still butthurt about the war of 1812, so you take it out on the middle east.
Christopher White
>Sup Forums always jokes about how brutal emus are >they don't know about cassowaries yet
>The inner or second of the three toes is fitted with a long, straight, murderous nail which can sever an arm or eviscerate an abdomen with ease. There are many records of natives being killed by this bird.
Jack Mitchell
Oh my god those would be fun to hunt. Are you allowed to hunt them there?
