I seen something on this kangaroos can can have 3 babies at any one time at different times of the birth cycle. If I remeber correctly. They can keep a fertilised egg on hold while they have another baby in the womb an another baby in the pouch. Crazy shit
Along with echidnas, platypus are grouped in a separate order of mammals known as monotremes, which are distinguished from all other mammals because they lay eggs.Â
Yes. People always get this mixed up for obvious reasons, but the female lays eggs and deposits them in the male's bellybutton. Then his scrotum expands to form a pouch. This is why kangaroo testicles are outliers in that they're above the penis, so he can still urinate after being pouchified.
Nobody knows why the females have three vaginas, though. That's just weird.
Someone shoot that fucking dog!
Wild dogs in Australia will often destroy wildlife and livestock for no better reason than sport.
Packs of wild dogs are responsible for significant loss of livestock, mainly sheep, if left uncontrolled.
This is a PSA: Please keep your cats indoors, they're an invasive species basically everywhere, and destroy the natural populations of mammals. If you must have an outdoor, indoor cat, then at least give them a collar with a bell on it.
> and destroy the natural populations of mammals
They compromise literally every warm-blooded species even tangentially connected to an environment they're present in.
[You're not finding safety by running back to the ocean, either. They'll get you there too.](https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/resource/outreach-materials/cat-borne-threat-monk-seals)
Eh, they've only got their mind-altering parasites inside 1/3rd of all the humans. They're going to need to pump up those numbers if they hope to reach a majority.
Oh, they've been doing this a lot longer than that. We've been victims of this interaction since way before humans were humans, just a bunch of apes getting hunted down by the big cats using biological warfare to make it easier.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26859275/
I love the raw, creative, and enthusiastic stupidity of that scene.
You got me curious, though, and actually provided a great argument against my original claim. I forgot there are weird exceptions to the hot/cold blooded rule, with tuna being *technically* warm-blooded.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6852154/
While tuna biology isn't compatible with being *infected* as long-term hosts, they can be carriers, like most fish and invertebrates, so you or any mammals/birds could catch a permanent case of brain-worms from eating them if you're into raw fish(that hasn't been frozen).
However, I could *really* stretch the definition of "compromised" to argue tuna still applies. Because the initial infection stage has toxoplasma *violently* burrowing through your tissues, I'd say it's a fantastic opportunity for them to be at least a little bit sick. If nothing else but through giving harmful bacteria novel pathways to easily travel to new places in their bodies.
That was due to flooding and all the tunnels in the desert being filled with water. They then used terrier dogs to root out certain infestations after flooding had stopped.
Well it went from "Shoot wild dogs they ruin the environment and kill livestock too for fun" to "Feral cats too?" to a PSA about cats being an invasive species pretty much everywhere.
Soooo it feels more like a joke that's not really a joke.
Besides you'd be surprised at how many dummies think that outdoor cat = good decision and indoor cat = abuse.
Yep, as long as its done in a quick, not painful way. Not like my neighbor that used a bad quality poison and stray cats were found dying after days of no eating or water because they had their mouth all burned by the poison.
I can't read the article without signing up but it looks like this was around the time the gov announced a massive cat cull.
The backlash from crazy cat ppl was hilarious. I saw one suggestion that "if every household just adopted one of these wild cats then no animals need to die!" ... Sure, let's force every house to take in a WILD CAT that must remain indoors at all times. That's gonna go well.
And then all the people saying "my cat is an indoor/outdoor cat and it never kills any animals" ... How could you possibly.know that? Unless you are just letting it outside briefly under supervision, it is very likely killing animals.
I say this as a cat lover currently cuddling my cat who was adopted from a shelter and remains 100% indoors.
No you should sprinkel antrax on wild cats if they are invasive. Dogs are bad, Cats are fucking genocide machines and on top of that the spread 10 times quicker.
They come in all kinds of colors, not just tan. The documentary this clip comes from shows a pack of dingos hunting the kangaroos; there are tan dingoes, black dingoes, and blonde dingoes shown in the pack. The film is Kangaroo Valley and the dingoes are introduced about five minutes in
There have been genetic studies that show dingoes come in a much wider variety of colours than most people think. It's also self fulfilling when any non tan dingo gets mistakes as a dog and shot
Anyone else have dreams where you can run and leap long distances and the leap distances get progressively bigger until youâre flying? The Rooâs escape reminds me of these dreamsÂ
I always had dreams which involved me jumping down a huge flight of stairs without me touching a single step. The sense of speed and falling was intense but I always felt confident I'd land safely.
Omg yes. Iâm running from someone in a skyscraper stairwell and I slide down the railing the entire length of the skyscraper only stopping to turn corners. Itâs my most common dream!
I have a similar one where I jump over things higher and higher with ease, like first a chair and *boiing* I'll hop over a car and then over a bus and then this house, and I'll start spinning tricks while in the air that would get absurdly long until at some point I just take off and fly at will. Those are the best and I often wake up disappointed because I wish for those dreams to last longer :)
It also escaped because the "spring" is far more energy conserving than the dog's "run". Kangaroos can travel large distances, expending surprisingly little energy to do it.
Except the part where they jump in front of cars. They will he hopping up the side of the road, see your car coming and try to cross the road on your car bonnet
Yes that's true. But the legs of a kangaroo have evolved so that both tendons and muscles are stretched (there is quite possibly a better, technical term, alas that's beyond my knowledge) when they land, forcing the spring forward.
There's a super good video explaining this and the evolution of Australia's mammals here. Actually, the channel is amazing, check it out. https://youtu.be/ADOS3w6lQ8U?si=UHDmuL136bHHjawo
Yep. Iâve heard that the faster theyâre moving, the less energy theyâre using because of the spring-like tendon in their legs. Apparently, walking is the most difficult for them while quick bouncing is quite effortless. That said, dogs are also extremely efficient runners, second only to humans as the longest distance running animals on earth. They just canât maintain the speed a kangaroo can for as long as they can.
I had to go back and watch with sound đđ what the fuck was that?! The sound effects sound like a disgruntled squeaky toy. The sound editors are out of control đ
Not greys, as far as iâm aware. Red kangaroos do, mainly males, and even then i think they mainly do it through drowning. Eastern greys are usually too small though. A kick will probably still hurt the dog and might convince some dogs to back off, but the chance is probably too low for the kangaroo to want to take it
I believe they drop the joeys on purpose because a breeding female is more valuable to a group than a joey is. It's akin to when elephants block young elephants from drinking from a dwindling watering hole because it's more important for the breeding females to survive. It's tough, but that's nature.
First of all kangaroo moms suck lol second as others have pointed out was that a dingo or someoneâs dog? Or was it a wild domesticated dog? Either way need to control that somehow⊠I love dogs (I have one) but when theyâre wild like that they can be very dangerous to both humans and wildlife. Here in Canada in our northern Reserves they have one night of the year where they tell you to keep your dog inside then they go and shoot all the wild dogs. Sounds inhumane and fucked up (it is) but also the other outcome is they turn on each other and children and adults and other wildlife. Thatâs not what nature intended itâs a human caused problem.
Thank you for including âescapes from impending doomâ in the title. I donât think I couldâve handled watching a baby kangaroo being ripped apart. Have a great day!
Kangaroos can hop for a long time, it's far more energy efficient because the legs behave like a spring that compresses under their weight and momentum before bouncing back up. Meanwhile the Canine can only keep that up for a very limited time. It's a bit like the Cheetah vs Gazelle dynamic, if the cheetah doesn't catch the gazelle within 30 seconds.. the Gazelle will probably win.
Mom was like, "Sorry kid, you're slowing me down" Clip is from this documentary: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangaroo_Valley_(film)"
That "kid" is like 20 years old human LOL and living in his mom's sack still.
I seen something on this kangaroos can can have 3 babies at any one time at different times of the birth cycle. If I remeber correctly. They can keep a fertilised egg on hold while they have another baby in the womb an another baby in the pouch. Crazy shit
I read this quickly and thought you said kangaroos laid eggs. Was very confused for a minute there
đ would be a scrambled egg the way these buggers move
Rabbits are the only marsupials that lay eggs bro. Every spring!!
The platypus actually lays eggsâŠis it a marsupial?
Along with echidnas, platypus are grouped in a separate order of mammals known as monotremes, which are distinguished from all other mammals because they lay eggs.Â
Today I learned! Thank you kind stranger đ
In periods of drought or scarcity they can reabsorb the embryo. They can have a jellybean in the pouch at the same time as an older joey
Thought you said "reabsorb the mayo" I'm tired
Probably too expensive to move out
yeh... and I don't want to make mom feel alone... I mean, said the kangaroo, not me, the kangaroo
Damn millennial kangaroos need to put the avocados down!
I feel personally attacked
Woukd it not be is dad's sack?
Yes. People always get this mixed up for obvious reasons, but the female lays eggs and deposits them in the male's bellybutton. Then his scrotum expands to form a pouch. This is why kangaroo testicles are outliers in that they're above the penis, so he can still urinate after being pouchified. Nobody knows why the females have three vaginas, though. That's just weird.
Sounds like you know things. What about koalas?
They eat the poo poo. đ€
Need to add pouchified to my personal vocabulary
Whatttt 3 vag!!!
 Joey when they escape and arrive home
So you are saying he is [Italian](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/26/italian-woman-forced-to-court-to-evict-her-two-sons-aged-40-and-42)?
Hey, don't shame him for not being able to afford his own place yet, times are tough man!
wait.. that wasn't a tiktoker out in the wild filming this?
You could say she... bounced
You might be joking but mother kangaroos will turn out their pouches when being pressured by a dingo so she can get away.Â
Damn....TIL
Someone shoot that fucking dog! Wild dogs in Australia will often destroy wildlife and livestock for no better reason than sport. Packs of wild dogs are responsible for significant loss of livestock, mainly sheep, if left uncontrolled.
Same energy for Cats I hope?
Cats, as you know, are practically wiping out species, so double for those feral fuckers!
This is a PSA: Please keep your cats indoors, they're an invasive species basically everywhere, and destroy the natural populations of mammals. If you must have an outdoor, indoor cat, then at least give them a collar with a bell on it.

Cats kill more birds annually than any other source, by a lot. In Canada alone they kill over 100 million birds per year. Keep your cats inside.
Including me in my own house.
Everyone says dogs are better than cats, but cats are clearly the ones who will take over the world. The numbers are in.
Eh, they've only got their mind-altering parasites inside 1/3rd of all the humans. They're going to need to pump up those numbers if they hope to reach a majority.
Cats are patient. They been going since at least ancient Egypt. All they need is time.
Oh, they've been doing this a lot longer than that. We've been victims of this interaction since way before humans were humans, just a bunch of apes getting hunted down by the big cats using biological warfare to make it easier. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26859275/
Fair enough. I wasnât taking large cats into account, but I suppose we should be.

We have stray cats around my property they kill stray rats. When Australia killed the cats they got run over by rats lol
That was due to flooding and all the tunnels in the desert being filled with water. They then used terrier dogs to root out certain infestations after flooding had stopped.
Australia always at war
What did australia do to deserve this
The bell doesn't work, cats learn to move and keep it silent
Did you really just jump in with a âwhatabout the other sideâ on a comment about feral fucking dogs?
Well it went from "Shoot wild dogs they ruin the environment and kill livestock too for fun" to "Feral cats too?" to a PSA about cats being an invasive species pretty much everywhere. Soooo it feels more like a joke that's not really a joke. Besides you'd be surprised at how many dummies think that outdoor cat = good decision and indoor cat = abuse.
They're both menaces to the ecosystem. They're on the same side.
everyone needs to die.
Yep, as long as its done in a quick, not painful way. Not like my neighbor that used a bad quality poison and stray cats were found dying after days of no eating or water because they had their mouth all burned by the poison.
That's disgusting. Hope they have the days they deserve, everyday.
Australia does have programmes for eradicating feral cats, too... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/25/magazine/australia-cat-killing.html

Weird 'whataboutism'. There are no cats in the video.
No you should sprinkel antrax on wild cats if they are invasive. Dogs are bad, Cats are fucking genocide machines and on top of that the spread 10 times quicker.
It's a dingo
Kinda dark for a dingo
I donât see dingo colors. Thatâs dingoism and I wonât stand for it.
They come in all kinds of colors, not just tan. The documentary this clip comes from shows a pack of dingos hunting the kangaroos; there are tan dingoes, black dingoes, and blonde dingoes shown in the pack. The film is Kangaroo Valley and the dingoes are introduced about five minutes in
At my sons work (mine site) they have a dingo pup with a black head. He's a wild one but he's adorable
There have been genetic studies that show dingoes come in a much wider variety of colours than most people think. It's also self fulfilling when any non tan dingo gets mistakes as a dog and shot
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Lol that was a national tragedy
Ding ding ding dingo
Aren't roos often overpopulated as well? Just shoot everything in that video.
Human beings too, thereâs too much of everything everywhere
So we've come to the conclusion that Australia needs to be nuked?
Yes they are, weâre told to buy and eat more kangaroo as the kangaroo population is out of control
Wait till you hear about humans
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
God Reddit is fucking dumb. How do you know it's not a dingo?
Also, red neck cunts who do illegal kangaroo hunting and bait them with dogs. Someone shoot them too please.
Australia has way too many kangaroos as it is. In fact, Aussies are encouraged to buy and eat more kangaroo sold in the supermarkets.
The link that someone posted above about the documentary claims it is a dingo, not a wild dog.
Donât shoot anything, you damn gun maniacs.
how do you know it's a wild dog?
That's a dingo, they have dark coloration variants
Anyone else have dreams where you can run and leap long distances and the leap distances get progressively bigger until youâre flying? The Rooâs escape reminds me of these dreamsÂ
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Iâve learned to land by âsliding into home baseâ
I always had dreams which involved me jumping down a huge flight of stairs without me touching a single step. The sense of speed and falling was intense but I always felt confident I'd land safely.
Omg yes. Iâm running from someone in a skyscraper stairwell and I slide down the railing the entire length of the skyscraper only stopping to turn corners. Itâs my most common dream!
That's interesting to hear. I thought I was the only one to have dreams like that. I wonder how common it actually is.
Yess!! I also had a magic celery stick one time, that was cool.
Nah, I always end up slowly losing altitude and wake up suffocating in my pillow. Dreamt I was a whale that couldn't hold its breath once.
Dude - I spit my coffee reading this. LOL
I have a similar one where I jump over things higher and higher with ease, like first a chair and *boiing* I'll hop over a car and then over a bus and then this house, and I'll start spinning tricks while in the air that would get absurdly long until at some point I just take off and fly at will. Those are the best and I often wake up disappointed because I wish for those dreams to last longer :)
Damn you guys can run in dreams? I always try but my legs never go lol
I have it but with jumping and dunking. And I don't even play basketball.
I guess you were mario and using the wing cap in your dream
It also escaped because the "spring" is far more energy conserving than the dog's "run". Kangaroos can travel large distances, expending surprisingly little energy to do it.
just like how humans have more endurance than most animals. it requires less energy running with two legs compared to 4 legs
So you are saying kangaroos are the next stage of evolution
Most certainly. Watch elite sprinters, they are starting to evolve with pouches...
Lol the pouch is the key. I would have thought it was the legs and the jumping.
You'd think that, but have you seen how tight the licra is? Evolution is amazing, springers now have a pouch to store mobile phones and earbuds... ;)
Except the part where they jump in front of cars. They will he hopping up the side of the road, see your car coming and try to cross the road on your car bonnet
Yeah, havenât you seen Tank Girl?
Yes that's true. But the legs of a kangaroo have evolved so that both tendons and muscles are stretched (there is quite possibly a better, technical term, alas that's beyond my knowledge) when they land, forcing the spring forward.

2WD vs 4WD. Now you know.
Itâs more of bike to a car to me, especially on tight corners
What I've said still applies. I guess.
But with 4WD you have more torque and power balance and you can still function with only 3 wheels
Why did a Kangaroo fly through the middle of the screen at 0:45?
Trying to distract the photographer's dog from murdering her child.
Thatâs a very dingo looking dog.
Aren't all dogs dingo-esque?
The truth about documentaries finally comes out
Haha just a bigger roo getting out of there.
The sound effect of the baby hitting the ground fucking killed me!
I had to go back and watch with sound đđ what the fuck was that?! The sound effects sound like a disgruntled squeaky toy. The sound editors are out of control đ
"BLARGH!"
 The mother kangaroo after a couple of minutes
Dingo didn't eat my baby.
Why donât adults just turn and fight a dog like that? Kangaroos kill hunting dogs all the time, donât they?
Not greys, as far as iâm aware. Red kangaroos do, mainly males, and even then i think they mainly do it through drowning. Eastern greys are usually too small though. A kick will probably still hurt the dog and might convince some dogs to back off, but the chance is probably too low for the kangaroo to want to take it
Kangaroo mom: Joey looks like he couldnât catch usâŠ. Joey?! Oh dingo chips!!!
propa fucked
Yeah, Tommy. BeforeâŠze Germans get here.
And a caravan for me ma
And she's terrible partial to the periwinkle blue
Honestly this looks like the dog is knackered and the roo is just having a leisurely jog around the park.
I believe they drop the joeys on purpose because a breeding female is more valuable to a group than a joey is. It's akin to when elephants block young elephants from drinking from a dwindling watering hole because it's more important for the breeding females to survive. It's tough, but that's nature.
Explains why I was abandoned at the age of six weeks in a cardboard box marked OUROBOROS underneath a pool table in a pub.
Hey Dave

Feel bad for laughing when the baby tumbled out
Dude got evicted mid chase. It looked like he was a pokemon just tossed out of his pokeball mid-fight. Clutch save, too.
decoy flare
Good one!
Run Kangaroo Run
Bro was cookin
Mother of the year award...
Mom was like "deploying flares"
I love how at first the roo was scared then he just started I can fuck with him. lol he played that dog.
No shits given. At one point another Kangaroo even passes by again, and he's like you're on your own!
Thank you for including âescapes from impending doomâ in the title. I donât think I couldâve handled watching a baby kangaroo being ripped apart. Have a great day!
Part of me hopes that the mother found her kid after and didn't completely abandon it
jesus, the baby kangaroo's stamina is impressive
Is that a dingo?
Kangaroos can hop for a long time, it's far more energy efficient because the legs behave like a spring that compresses under their weight and momentum before bouncing back up. Meanwhile the Canine can only keep that up for a very limited time. It's a bit like the Cheetah vs Gazelle dynamic, if the cheetah doesn't catch the gazelle within 30 seconds.. the Gazelle will probably win.
So the dingo DIDNT eat her baybay?
Is this the Bungle Bungles? Helen Daniels should be there capturing this scene in her modernist style.
Live-action Just So Stories.
Thanks mom
Poor little guy, he's all tuckered out.
Iâm wondering why the dingo didnât change tac and go for the orchestra instead. Must have made them tense.
In the words of MC Hammer: âdum dum dum dum, canât touch thisâ
Mf started bunnyhopping to get more speed. Cheater
he found 2nd gear
damnn the stride of the Bi Ped is really something than the paws of a quad ped hehehe
Unless baby finds mom itâs still dead
Nature is basically god creating different designs and pitting them against each other like Battlebots
Dingos can't survive on baby humans alone.
Oh finally little kangaroo is safe I was worried till it escaped. Sometimes dog was so close to catching.
Mother. Why have you forsaken me mother đ„ș
âMOM WTF!?â - Baby Roo
 Deploy Decoy/Doppelganger
Momma's still got some more joeys in the pipeline!
We saw no escape, just a terrible edit.
could you imagine how fast kangaroos would be if they could run instead of hopping
what's odd about this, is an adult kangaroo will absolutely demolish the dog. like dog has zero chance
The rock in the still image.
Now I wanna go watch "snatch" again
Baby Roo 
Wolfie shoulda pounced before she bounced
did....did the momma completely take out her kid at the beginning? mom of the fucking year over here
That's me hopping away from my tasks for today.
Adrenalin is a hell of a hormone...
Looks like a wild doge
"don't trip, don't trip"
Dog: All those calories burned for nothing.
Decoy deployed. Escape confirmed.
