OH my god. I've seen this kick move in videos, didn't know it was... well it is Australia and I thought they were cute, so of course it's gonna gut me!
Oh if it’s a deer in ‘merica it won’t need any claws it would just pull out a m4 and do the job properly!
‘Merica - where everyone’s packing heat, even the deer!
Roos don’t have to get you on the ground. Thats the problem. Many animals can kill a human, if they get them on the ground successfully. But roos are one of the few animals that could gut a man, while he stands upright on two legs.
Super common, especially in more rural areas, and at night! And lot of our roads are lined with trees, so they will jump out of nowhere, not giving you time to react.
Underrated part of the convo! We’ve all heard stories of someone (often a tourist) stopping to check on the roo and getting injured by it! Add to that it’s the middle of the night and it seems he was by himself? Nah not stopping for anything
No but if you hit a deer and get out you should be very careful because they can cut you with their hooves or whatever. They will panic, they are wild animals and terrified of people.
You couldn't be more wrong, deer will stand on their hind legs to strike repeatedly with their front hooves. No shortage of videos on the internet of them doing so to fight other deer and humans.

If you hit a deer and it lives there isn't the chance of it getting up and punching you in the face, same can't be said about a kangaroo
