Kangaroos are intensely territorial. There can be only one alpha male in a mob, and younger bucks will certainly fight for their chance to rise to the top of the pack. Male kangaroos will also fight newcomers to the mob.

They fight by standing on their rear legs and attacking with their front legs. A kangaroo can also balance its body on its powerful tail and strike out with its strong rear legs, the claws of which are deadly sharp.

Male kangaroos fight each other to be the dominant male in a mob, which may include between just six or seven kangaroos, or a dozen or more.
