I like the quote, photos and the story. I did not realize kangeroos were so muscular in their upper body. Those upper arms look like he works out. 🙂

Get too close and annoy the saved guy, and I fear it would be “Roger and out!” Kickboxing champ indeed. The cute little fella grew up to be a big burly ‘roo. Thanks for this illustrative post of rescues down under, Beth.
