  1. Bunch of namby pambys I reckon. I'll walk off this disembowelment no worries, she'll be right.

  2. There's a lot of skin surface there, they could write so much info onto it, totally agree!

  3. Watch the video again. They STAND in the water, waiting, not swimming. They can swim tho.

  5. 6:14 that experiment doesn't seem very humane 😢. 2 months kept laying down while partially upside-down? That seems like torture. How could you handle that?! I initially thought they'd get test subjects who were quadriplegic, but then it showed they had to do muscle tests etc during (&/or after) the 2 month testing. Aaaaaaaaaaa! But hey at least they get to go into a centrifuge for 30mins a day (unless you're the control group I guess)

  6. She's right tho. There's occasionally campaigns pushing for replacing herds of meat cows with kangaroos. So many benefits: Roos eat less, drink less, burp less, their feet do less damage to the ground (so does their grazing style, they don't yank the whole grass plant outof the ground like cows often do). Their meat is also healthier for you. Problem is tho: it's hard to make fences TALL enough to keep Roos contained. Currently (afaik) all Roos slaughtered for legal consumption are killed via a single rifle-shot to the head in wild undomesticated animals (ie: not at point-blank range). It's illegal to sell Roo meat for human consumption that wasn't killed via single heatshot, coz we're worried about animal suffering (especially in mass-produced meat markets). So it makes it difficult to scale up as an industry, currently. Hopefully we'll work it out tho, coz it'd be great to move on from cows.

  7. Did the video say Roos protecting themselves was bad? I don't think so.

  8. It's a hell of a lot more than 5 per year if you count vehicle interactions. It's why "Roo bars" are common here. The animals are dumb as hell, notice in the low helicopter footage that the Roo is not running AWAY from the helicopter. It's common to have a Roo running full-speed BECIDE your car and then it veers directly into the side of your car - BONK. Due to their jumping it's not uncommon for one to come straight through your car's front windscreen at highway speed. It's a mess. If we see Roos around we slow right down coz they're so dumb & unpredictable.

  9. They evolved shields in order to avoid being disemboweled

  10. (was getting errors trying to edit this in, weird) Jokes aside, they are the most common part of the kangaroo to eat. They shrink a lot during a roast tho, losing a lot of moisture & become very dense.

  11. Koalas arn't drop bears. Drop bears can disguise as Koalas tho to lure prey & avoid suspicion.

  12. They were the world's biggest fleas

  13. Some SMALL island animals can be kinda like that yea. But Australia is the world's largest island, so no.

  15. An elephant standing upright in a lake, waiting for things to drown, is a terrifying nightmare.
