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. In 2009, an Australian farmer reported that, when his dog chased a kangaroo found drinking from his dam, the kangaroo literally grabbed the dog and held it under water, trying to drown it. The farmer himself was badly scratched when he went out to rescue his dog (the dog survived).

More recently, a 94 year old woman was hanging out washing in her backyard in the small town of Charleville, western Queensland, when a big Red bounded out of the bush and attacked her without reason, causing her to be hospitalised.

There has been just one reported case of a kangaroo killing a person, and this occurred back in 1936.
