Answer 1

Yes, I got attacked by one once. She had a joey in her pouch, and I was feeding her, which was ok. But as soon as I tried to feed bubs, mum stood on her tail and kicked at me with her feet, it was quite scary; needless to say I scarpered, and luckily she didn't chase me. My wife and everyone around got a good laugh out of it, though.

Answer 5

Kangaroos are big strong animals with a strong sense of protecting their young.  If they think your up to no good, their instinct, like ours is fight or flight, but if there is young around and your in the middle, look out.  They also have long razor sharp claws, that can be deadly.  Do not mess with large wild animals.  They are not cuddley.
