Besides humans and dingoes, not much will attack a kangaroo, so there is no "standard" defense reaction. They can run (hop) up to 30mph.


However, they have been known to pin dogs/dingos underwater if there is body of water nearby, and their feet can be quite dangerous in a fight - a powerful kick will cause serious bodily injury or even death if landed in a vital area (think skull) and nails/claws on their hind feet have disemboweled opponents, but this is extremely rare. With the exception of a seemingly random set of attacks in 2004, Kangaroos have hardly ever attacked unprovoked, but will defend themselves once flight is no longer an option.
