Lol, no way I'm letting a fucking kangaroo win.

@samwarner1612 That's completely wrong. And the video also explains why: strength comes at a cost.

@godnyx117 The kangaroos doesn't stand a chance. They only wrestle standing up and they've never seen a double leg takedown. On the ground they're helpless. There's footage of a boxer hitting a kangaroo with a stick, but only when he takes it to the ground does he gain the upper hand.

@redplanet7163 >A chimpanzee can tear a human apart. Total bullshit. >They have far more muscle density and are way stronger than humans. Muscle "density" is irrelevant. If they were fat they wouldn't be weaker. An average adult male chimpanzee is probably a bit stronger than an average adult human male in a lot of lifts, but the strongest humans as stronger than the strongest chimpanzees.

@tomlxyz >if we look at our more muscular ancestors Which ones? What ancestor was more muscular?

@Noelle__vibes I can't find a single case of a kangaroo coming out on top in a fight with a similarly sized person. An ex boxer fought a kangaroo for a while and ultimately won by bringing it to the ground. I do some grappling and weight around 80kg, the largest measured male red kangaroo being only 91kg. In conclusion there is very likely not a single kangaroo that stands a good chance in a fight against me.

You "recued" him how? Honestly this just sounds like you want to make yourself important.

@killgoretrout9000 >and every one of them would get their ass whipped by a kangaroo You are completely out of it if you think any kangaroo can stand up to a Brian Shaw or Brock Lesnar. I can only find one prolonged (6 minute) fight between a dude and a kangaroo of similar size and the dude won. >humans are pretty weak for our size Citation needed. >because fine motor control counts for more than brute strength does when making tools. That's a cute story, but there's no reason you can't have both. Kangaroos don't lack the skills to make bifaces because they're too buff.

@samo6083 Wrong and wrong. Being a powerlifter doesn't automatically make you strong. There's plenty of short and/or female powerlifters that probably would get their asses handed to them by one of the largest kangaroos. At the same time there's no reason to think a kangaroo's fighting skills would allow it to beat a person of similar size to it. In fact I can't find even a single such case. Only once case of a man beating a kangaroo roughly his size.

@Trahloc >A gorilla and chimp might be able to rip us in half Not even an elephant can rip you in half. You simply have no intuition for physics whatsoever. > I'd fear a teenage male human more in a rock throwing contest. I think you've just absorbed a bunch of internet cliches.

The video said that they suck at eating gras, their main meal, that they are bad at moving slowly and that they die from being too swole.

@samwarner1612 Go ahead and find a kangaroo that can take me.

There's two cases of a kangaroo killing a person... not yearly but ever. I can't find any videos of kangaroos defeating similarly sized humans and a couple of humans outgrappling or punching kangaroos. Meanwhile dogs kill people all the time. They even kill people significantly larger than themselves. And while attacks from wolves are very rare, I bet if I looked now I would find more deathly ones than two. I'd say in terms of pound for pound fighting ability it's wolf > human > kangaroo. Which is kind of to be expected given their diets.
