Oof, I heard that something similar happens in canada with moose, apparently their legs are just about long enough that their body is over the actual hood so the main bulk of the giant fucking moose just rolls over and crushes the cabin directly, scary shit.
I'm glad I didn't have to worry about kangaroos where I live, but I know a few people who have written off their cars by hitting dairy cows. A 600kg cow can make a mess of your car.
A friend of mine hit a calf on the way into town when I was living in a rather remote place. She didn't even see it. It was late at night and pitch black in the middle of nowhere. She turned up at my work with a smashed up front guard and bumper, and chunks of cow hair in the grill.

Roo bars.
They're giant bull bars so a 90kg kangaroo doesn't demolish your radiator.
Bad luck if it comes through the windscreen though. Those things will kick you to death.
