SAVAGED BY SKIPPY: KANGAROOS might seem outwardly docile but when the creatures go rogue the consequences can be devastating.

With the ability to floor humans with a single punch and razor sharp claws. as well as vice-like jaws, the beasts have a savage side to them.

The mighty marsupials have powerful back legs that allow them to leap 30 ft and travel at 35mph. But their legs and claws can also be used for fighting each other - and for battering humans.
Forget Skippy, the kangaroo is an animal you definitely don't want to mess with.


ONE PUNCH KNOCK OUT

A kick from a kangaroo is easily enough to floor a human and the blow can leave deep gashes.

Pictures show a tourist being thumped by one of the creatures at a popular site near Australia’s Lake Macquarie.

Local MP Greg Piper said: “In most cases they have been kicking out, clawing faces and grappling with people, causing lacerations or significant scratching.

“Recently one attacked a man, who required 17 stitches in his face.”

Tour operator Shane Lewis said he tries to warn unsuspecting tourists about the danger of kangaroo attacks.

“We try to scare them into not being naive and thinking they’re cute and cuddly by showing them the photos, what can happen, and not to give them any food,” he said.

Meanwhile a dad found out what it was like being floored by a kangaroo.

Startling footage captured Mitchell Robinson being decked by the creature in his own front yard in New South Wales, Australia.

It shows the large male roo squaring up to the man before hopping towards him and unleashing a rapid attack with his feet and paws.

Hunter Joshua Hayden had a kangaroo in his gun's crosshairs had his jaw broken when the animal launched a pre-emptive strike and knocked him out.

The 19-year-old was out with his brother looking for wild animals to shoot in Western Australia when the attack happened, according to Australia's ABC News.

The pair initially spotted three kangaroos, but one disappeared and the teenager put his head out of the window of the moving car to target the other two.

The animal that had vanished then reappeared, charged at the car and attacked, reports said.

Joshua said he believed he was unconscious for about 30 seconds after being hit.

"I woke up and my brother was trying to tell me what happened," he said.

KICKED AROUND LIKE RAG DOLL

Debbie Urquhart was attacked by 6ft 5in male roo as she went for an early morning run near her home in Melbourne, Australia.

The personal trainer said the kangaroo repeatedly kicked her on the right side of her body, ripped her clothes and “threw me around like a rag doll.”

Mrs Urquhart even played dead in an effort to stop the attack and managed to escape to safety after the kangaroo ran away.

She then ran about 300 yards back to her home, screaming and covered in blood.

"He ripped me to pieces,” Mrs Urquhart said.

“He just kept on kicking into me and I was trying to crawl away.

“He left me for a bit and I thought he was going to come back and kill me.”

CHOMPED ON GIRL’S HEAD
