  • bringmeupmusic, on 04/11/2008, -17/+5oh no that poor little boy! wow, I had no idea they could jump so high!
    • mnemy, on 04/11/2008, -0/+10they're kangaroos. It's kinda what they do ;)
      • durant0s, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1double what mnemy said, its a Kangaroo, what else could you expect other then it jumps really high, and is possibly drunk.
      • pcslugster, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1dammmnn... that roo got UPS!
    • divrekku, on 04/11/2008, -3/+4A lot of setup for one little jump. dugg down for being lame.
    • themastersb, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2The kid deserved it
  • LawJik, on 04/11/2008, -6/+23I think this story should be about the kangaroo sniper lady...
    • iancorey, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3I can see her at the grocery store in that get-up.
    • themastersb, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2I know if I had that outfit I'd wear it everywhere so that I can suddenly go prone and become practically invisible.
  • ghm101, on 04/11/2008, -23/+46they should have just shot the thing, butchered it, chucked it on the BBQ and had a beer.
    • ChuckIT, on 04/11/2008, -6/+3okay i loled - and yet that's awful too.
    • orangefly, on 04/11/2008, -1/+10if it's good enough for mcdonalds....
    • xenuxenuts, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3They look like a deer with a fat ass. Might make some good jerky.
    • barroni, on 04/11/2008, -3/+1Dog food
    • RyanCoke, on 04/11/2008, -2/+3I try not to eat Australian jumping rat. Even if they're big.
      Screw that, especially if they're big.
    • iamtherealwoody, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2Maybe we should shoot you, butcher you, and throw you in a BBQ... then have a beer?
    • DNABeast, on 04/12/2008, -0/+7You can buy kangaroo meat at the supermarket here. It's very healthy. Not much fat and plenty of iron.
      They are often considered a pest because they adapted to our farming culture and have bred to a population size that's considered plague.
    • alphgeek, on 04/12/2008, -0/+4Kangaroos are very tasty. And *****, there's millions of them. It's not like eating a bald eagle for ***** sake.
  • ANT1138, on 04/11/2008, -30/+2Wait a sec.. Front page with 39 diggs and 3 comments? C'mon, Kevin Rose, get your ***** together.
    • Sikarian, on 04/11/2008, -4/+13So? It's good content. Ignorant little kids getting knocked the ***** out. Any topic that involves that deserves an automatic front page
    • fakekevinrose, on 04/11/2008, -1/+10I CAN ASSURE YOU EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE
  • peticsu, on 04/11/2008, -4/+79LOL @ the ghillie suit
  • philliesphan026, on 04/11/2008, -9/+8Crikey!
  • ravamp3, on 04/11/2008, -6/+46Australians are like WTF, matte? ***** Kangaroos...
    • banido, on 04/11/2008, -3/+21But I´m le tired...
    • volacide, on 04/11/2008, -2/+3Yeah they prefer something more shiny in general.
    • plundstedt, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2Got a link to that? Haven't seen it in years!
    • SSUK, on 04/11/2008, -1/+7http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matte

      Matte != Mate.
      • dafragsta, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1I like Yerba Mate!
      • Supurcell, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1I like to think the poster just mispelled Matt, and the australian character he was doing just happens to have had a friend name Matt that he was talking to.
      • volacide, on 04/12/2008, -0/+1hence my post which sees no love...
    • Smills, on 04/12/2008, -0/+1Indeed we are, though just the other day I saw an emu walking down the road. Also, a few years back there were a couple of kangaroos in the street outside my house. It was pretty amusing. In Australia you never know what you will see (also everything can and will kill you) so it certainly makes your days less boring.
  • Bassist182, on 04/11/2008, -6/+3Dugg for the gigantic net they used to try to catch him.
    • Supurcell, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1Yea boi! That net was frickin sweet!
  • TripleAStacked, on 04/11/2008, -7/+4Why was the even there?
    • NinjaBoy, on 04/11/2008, -1/+32Being a digger you may not know this, but some kids actually play outside.
      • adventflux, on 04/11/2008, -1/+5I think he was talking about the kangaroo.
    • aladrin, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2I agree: Why WAS the kid there? They were telling full grown adults to get inside and let the kid stand there RIGHT where they knew the kangaroo was going. Brilliant.
  • siglesias, on 04/11/2008, -2/+22tranquilizer dart
  • biznatch11, on 04/11/2008, -2/+15Maybe the kid's parent's should have got him the frick out of the way while the officials were trying to catch a potentially dangerous wild animal. At least he wasn't badly hurt.
    • fudgecakes, on 04/11/2008, -0/+0he deserved it - what a dum dum, i mean C'MON
    • divrekku, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2dugg for thinking frick was an acceptable substitute for *****.
  • JrGhoull, on 04/11/2008, -2/+24holy crap-o-la! dugg for the best jump i have ever seen in my entire life. i knew that they had strong legs...but 8 ***** feet?!!?
    • Elconno2, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1"Javier Sotomayor (Cuba) is both the indoor and outdoor world record holder in this event with jumps of 2.43 m (8 feet) and 2.45 m (8 feet ½ inch), respectively." - Wikipedia

      Still pretty sweet, though.
      • Supurcell, on 04/11/2008, -0/+7The best human jumper in the entire world can be matched by joe average kangaroo.
    • Katana314, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4Still, that's just height. That thing was like a velociraptor.
  • fs88, on 04/11/2008, -4/+5that still frame of the kid right before he got hit was priceless.
  • ArmedNDangerous, on 04/11/2008, -2/+9Anyone in Australia familiar with a tranquilizer gun?
    • mk2cav, on 04/11/2008, -6/+7Why are Americans obsessed with guns ?
      • orangefly, on 04/11/2008, -0/+18it's number two on our list....right under not ever having to stfu....
      • nomadxx7, on 04/11/2008, -4/+62nd Amendment: Right to keep and bear arms.

        Nuff said
      • EwMo, on 04/11/2008, -0/+13Because they work a hell of a lot better than nets.
    • RussellDovey, on 04/11/2008, -0/+7I'm an Australian, there are kangaroos hanging around right now over my back fence, both of my parents are wildlife experts working for the national park service, and I was thinking the same thing; "FFS, if you're really worried about the kangaroo being there just use a trank dart."

      Of course, there is the issue of firing trank darts around in a suburb with people watching; if you hit some poor bugger, the video posted online might be even more hilarious. Very low-probability, but quite in-line with Australia's increasing over-regulation and nanny-state *****.

      I love the camo gear. That's just ridiculous, and completely un-necessary.
      • nomadxx7, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2I personally would have thrown a rock at the kangaroo. See him try to jump that!
  • bicyclethief, on 04/11/2008, -3/+42Damn Nature, you scary!
  • mark076h, on 04/11/2008, -3/+57Steve Irwin would have owned that thing
    • drpcken, on 04/11/2008, -6/+17Only because it doesn't have a barb...

      too soon?
  • MainframeF4, on 04/11/2008, -4/+10Thats one badass kangaroo
    • drpcken, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2maybe it got Chuck Norris in its pouch
  • hazard99, on 04/11/2008, -4/+3I still want a kangaroo though
  • bloodomen13, on 04/11/2008, -2/+60Dugg for the jump it made. Put a cape on the bastard!
    • provost, on 04/11/2008, -1/+4that jump made my jaw hit the desk. the best part of the vid. I almost felt a rush of adrenaline when I saw it. Just amazing
  • nickrct, on 04/11/2008, -4/+2Mission Failed... We'll get em next time.
  • cryptomystic, on 04/11/2008, -1/+311.Doesn't anyone at animal rescue store tranquilizer darts anymore just in case of something like this happening?
    2.What the heck was that boy doing there in the first place?
    3. Jungle camo in a residental neighborhood? good one.
    • radix2, on 04/12/2008, -1/+11. Yes they do. But if you ever saw how fast a 'roo moves you might realise that hitting it would take several shots, with the missed ones likely to hit someone (it was a residential area after all). If it was elsewhere we just would have shot it - more than likely with a .303.
      2. He was outdoors (that bright light that shines through the basement window). He was also standing behind a policeman. In Australia, we don't mistrust policemen and his mother probably thought he was safe (being up against the hedge, behind a policeman and out of the way).
      3. Yeah - ridiculous actually. I've not a clue as to that one... :-/
  • mandarin, on 04/11/2008, -4/+2Perfect sidekick for batman...
  • mnemy, on 04/11/2008, -3/+6You think full camo gear is really necessary to catch a kangaroo? Or were you planning on hitting the jungle and ramboing it up on your lunch break? Next time, spend your cash to hire a little mouse name Jerry to befriend the rogue kangaroo instead.
  • g3ra1d0, on 04/11/2008, -1/+8kids are like people, only smaller!
  • Theod48, on 04/11/2008, -1/+3that was almost a law suit, why the F would they let that kid stand there
    • simg, on 04/11/2008, -0/+7I think it's still the case in Australia that you can't sue people for your own lack of common sense.
  • joe361, on 04/11/2008, -5/+2This kangaroo is more vicious, http://tinyurl.com/2q9j9y.
    • chewtoy, on 04/11/2008, -0/+9If you're going to rickroll, at least format the damn URL correctly.

      Unless that was a 404roll, in which case well played.
    • SSUK, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2Wow, I bet you feel SO cool now, joe36182719239723821937289748374237894789cantgetanoriginalname.

      ***** off back to your Naturo anime fanfiction forums and dream about touching a girl.
      • joe361, on 04/11/2008, -2/+1Just for your information, I don't give a ***** about having an "original" online name. Second, I got a blowjob from my girlfriend last night, so ***** off.
        • radix2, on 04/12/2008, -1/+3since when are vacuum cleaners considered girlfriends?
          If you have to brag about it, it probably did not happen...
  • mytibt, on 04/11/2008, -2/+8Hai roo ken
  • mecharabbit, on 04/11/2008, -2/+8Would have been great if the 'roo put the kid in its pocket and took off with him.
    • alpha_male76, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2HELL YES IT WOULD HAVE!!!
      Oi! Roo, Get back heer with that keed!
  • MainframeF4, on 04/11/2008, -9/+2Someone is addicted to the digg down button on comments. Douchebag
  • JDOG, on 04/11/2008, -2/+2BOOM!
  • kue04, on 04/11/2008, -2/+2ghillie suite was hilarious
  • selphishnerd, on 04/11/2008, -1/+34holy crap kangaroos are modern velociraptors!
    • vx69, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3Can they open doors?!
      • TTURabble, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1They don't need to, they can jump over them!
        • jwolcott, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2I guess they haven't invented "roofs" over there, huh TTURabble? It's like a wall, except that it runs parallel to the floor (not perpendicular) and actually rests on top of the walls to enclose a "room". You should try it out one day, it really comes in handy when it rains.
        • TheEvilPenguin2, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2Rains?
  • Shatfacedpanda, on 04/11/2008, -1/+173 things went wrong in this video.
    1. Gillie suit + manicured subdivision grass is ***** pointless.
    2. Kid that got kicked in the head, put the drink box down, go inside dumb ass.
    3. Tranquilizer? Its a Kangaroo not some mythical beats that only a net can bring down.
    • AoiTakuma, on 04/11/2008, -0/+6Net of Capture +1
      Special Attributes: +2 on throws against suburban kangaroos
    • jwolcott, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1Actually, the beat of his hop was quite mythical.
    • cnot3, on 04/13/2008, -0/+1Shoooooooooooooooooooooot Haaaaaaaaaaaar!
  • misteranthropy, on 04/11/2008, -1/+8The kid was obviously kangaroo bait.
  • Elliottx, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2Lmfao at the title. Made me literally lol.
    and MAN ....***** kangaroo's can jump hiiiiiiigh!
  • volacide, on 04/11/2008, -1/+17The best part of this video wasn't the kid getting "thrased," you couldn't even see it very well, but when the Kangaroo ***** leaps 8 feet into the air extended straight out and manages to land on it's feet and continue hopping along.
  • CrudeDarkness, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2that camo reminds me of a guy who fought once with a crab. And lost his life.

  • guess88, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1give that kangaroo a contract!!!
  • 4321234, on 04/11/2008, -4/+1Kangaroos and kids = cuteness overload.
  • KittySpark1es, on 04/11/2008, -1/+14Lol, she must have rushed to the rescue from her Call of Duty 4 cosplay event.
  • ispellkonfusion, on 04/11/2008, -2/+1I have the completely ridiculous urge to ride a kangaroo now. Think about it, they're like living, breathing moon shoes.
  • invisiblehat, on 04/11/2008, -1/+3At first quick glance, I thought the headline read, 'Kangaroo Takes Some Acid'.
  • borkus69, on 04/11/2008, -6/+0PWNED!
  • Xyphus, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1My guess is that due to a budget cut somewhere, all they could afford was a used Gillie suit and an old fishing net... :)
  • DeFex, on 04/11/2008, -2/+1Crikey call in the army theres a kangaroo!
  • bigbill780, on 04/11/2008, -4/+1I wonder how many dollariedoos in damage the kangaroo caused
  • Adrianne, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4"If a man were to fight a kangaroo he would be disemboweled."
  • soundsofreason, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1It's a f*cking kangaroo demon!
  • Parasiteartist, on 04/11/2008, -1/+4Dugg for the Super Mario "yaaahooo" jump.
  • buenit, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2I would have tried to catch him with some dunkaroo's.
