Grey kangaroos can hurt people, but they do not often cause harm. One is more likely to be hurt by a Red Kangaroo.

Kangaroos are animals. Animals are largely unpredictable. Kangaroos, like all other animals, have natural means for defending themselves; for a kangaroo two of these defensive features are its large tail and oversized rear legs. Consider what an animal that can move as fast as a kangaroo could do with those legs if it should feel threatened.

There have actually been instances where kangaroos have been known to turn and attack aggressively when threatened. However, there have been no reported cases of a kangaroo killing a person.

Do people get hurt in zoos from kangaroos?

possibly. depends on if u get close to them and try to harm them, or not. People do not normally get hurt from kangaroos. Responsible animal sanctuaries keep the more aggressive males separate from the rest of the kangaroos, and the public are usually only allowed direct contact with the non-aggressive roos. People are often encouraged to buy food for the roos, and feed them by hand, and on occasion, a particularly greedy kangaroo might be a little pushy, but they are highly unlikely to hurt a person. Young children who are not supervised properly may do something to hurt the kangaroos - and receive a cuff from a roo in return.
