Two kangaroos have been filmed fighting for five minutes on a suburban street on the New South Wales central coast.
Didn't look as though we're going for a kill, so it's very funny. And love the music track!

Looks like two youngsters having a practice round.

support their bodes in a double leg kick. Should have used that tail to smack the other in the head...but then..that would not be Judo, but Kangaroo KARATE!

(6,699 posts)I remember third grade, me and a school mate went behind the retreat yard bushes and fought it out over a cute girl in our class that probably didn't give a rat's behind for either one of us. I think our fight lasted about 3 minutes. We rolled around on the ground and got each other in head locks; and when it was over, it was over. We were still good friends the next day. Wish all differences could be handled so easily. I expect these two kangaroos are about the same hormonal level we were back then.
