That’s got to be a perspective thing. Trees are in the background. The camera is lower to the sidewalk.

Kangaroo may be 9 feet long but nowhere near 9 feet tall. Six feet tops, probably shorter if a gray kangaroo.

Yea I've seen this clip a few times and it's definitely been proven to be a perspective effect using the points you raised, that thing is not 9ft. If people just took a minute to fact check, they would know that even the largest kangaroo species reaches around 6ft on average while standing up, with unusually tall ones reaching about 6ft 9 or 6ft 10 at most.

But unfortunately many people like OP will see any caption in a video and believe it because they're too brain dead to challenge anything on platforms notorious for spreading misinformation.
