It all started when Kristy and her husband were checking the water levels when they were warned about the presence of a large kangaroo. Suddenly, the kangaroo charged at their vehicle, but its target soon shifted to Mr. James, who engaged in an unexpected fistfight with the animal. As he stumbled and fell into a patch of floodwater, the kangaroo reportedly tried to hold him down and drown him. Fortunately, Mr. James escaped when the kangaroo was startled, allowing him to flee to safety.
Despite the harrowing experience, James later reflected on the incident, noting it was traumatic and the kangaroo seemed intent on harming him. Kangaroo ecologist Graeme Coulson explained that kangaroos might resort to such behavior when feeling threatened, though it is rarely seen in conflicts with humans. James himself noted an alarming pattern of animal confrontations, recalling a previous attack by a great white shark.
This incident has raised eyebrows not only for its unusual nature but also for highlighting the challenges wildlife face during natural disasters.
