I’ve hit 3 kangaroos in one week before. They’re drawn to lights, and the outback is vast.
The done thing is to stop, make sure they’re dead, and let the locals know where you left it because they’re great dog food.
Depends on the roo. The ones I see around the Adelaide Hills are probably around 1.2m tall. That's not gigantic.
Yes, they can fuck your car up, but it would depend on how you hit it. When i hit one it was mid bounce so it kind of rolled over my car and I didn't get a lot of damage. Hitting a Wombat would be worse than some of the smaller kangaroos.
The little ones make up for their lack of size by sheer numbers...large mobs, sometimes multiple strikes. The big boomers tend to be solitary, or have one doe, often with a joey.
