Nothing new, we in America stick our hands in the lakes to see if an alligator will show up so we can feed them.
I tend to avoid ANY animal if I don't personally know them and even then.........

Saw home movies someone made of alligator wrestlers in Florida. Gave me the creeps. mg1:

I've always found kangaroos interesting, but I also know that despite the cuteness they can be dangerous...just like raccoons.

I've had a couple of close encounters with roos and I now give them a wide berth.

Personally I've always found kangaroos a bit creepy. There's something weirdly human looking about the shape of their arms and upper body! I'd stay away from them on general principle I think. No need to warn me.

I have asked our governor to ban all kangaroos from roaming the streets in the future.

I think Kangaroos are cute, but I wouldn't want to encounter an angry one.

And take the dog and cats with you.

They have been known to grab a dog if they are near water ( dam) and drown it
