Kangaroo attacked a family of Australians for trying to feed him

In Australia, a kangaroo beat a family of three. The incident occurred in Queensland, located in northeastern mainland Australia.

Linda and Jim Smith have been living with children in the Darling Downs area and have been caring for the kangaroos living in the neighborhood for 15 years now. Once her husband went outside to feed the animals, as usual, who come to their house every evening, but one of the males attacked him and began to beat him. Linda ran out to help her husband. Swinging a mop, she began to try to drive away the aggressive creature. That's just it was not so simple. A strong kangaroo, two meters high, knocked out the gun from the woman’s hands and switched to it already. In an attempt to help parents, their son also suffered.

After the fight with the marsupial, the whole family was sent to the hospital with serious injuries. Linda Smith recorded rib fractures, a punctured lung, and a number of other injuries of varying degrees.

While in the hospital, the woman said that she first encountered such fierce behavior of these animals. The doctors who examined the spouses also noted that they were seeing for the first time that the kangaroo caused such serious injuries to people. Experts explain the excessive aggression of the kangaroo by the mating season - at this time the males become uncontrollable madmen.

Despite the terrible test that befell the Smith family, Linda continues to worry about the animal, hoping that he will not be killed and everything will be fine with him.
