As a wildlife carer of roos... i approve of this video 😂. A cpl of corrections... they can go backwards if they need to... they just have to flip the tail under first. And they can walk one foot at a time but only usually when sick or injured & can't use their tail properly. They definitely fart... i had a red named Bubbles... because she blew bubbles from her bum. She farted so loud i thought someone had broken in my house. And just be careful where you source your roo meat. Roos need to be put on ice immediately after death or the meat starts rotting unlike other meat animals. Roos are incredible animals... they are extremely affectionate and can be really intelligent. Thanks for covering them 💚🦘
This bloke claims that Kangaroos overpopulate which is Govt spin as you would know. And he supports the Commercial Kangaroo Killing Industry which is a profit driven Government sanctioned industry which is evidenced as being unsustainable,brutally cruel and dangerously unhygienic. He’s also pushing the evidenced pseudo science of the ACT Government and re the sterilisation of Kangaroos to mange their populations which is bonkers and pure colonialism crap as we saw in the findings of the ACAT Court proceedings of 2013. I’m extremely disappointed to see you here Jenny supporting this bloke.
Great as always! Just a slight correction: macropod legs can move independently, they just don’t want to! Interestingly, the only time they do move independently is when they’re swimming.
Ah the roo. On a campus where I used to work they legitimately roamed the school grounds after hours. At the end of one after school event I opened the classroom door to find an enormous (well he was at least as tall as me!) grey, just hanging out. Not wanting to be disemboweled, I reversed into the bunch of students behind me who were waiting to exit, shut the door and went to the building’s other exit. Only to find the rest of his mob. They weren’t as close to the building so we gave them a wide berth and escaped. Great video. Loved the grey nomads analogy!
Ima Australian boomer and that video was by far the best I’ve seen about our wonderful Roos. I saw a family of 3 yesterday on the golf course and I always smile when I see a roo. Well done and keep em coming.
We have an issue Sir. I'm in hospital having had some cheeky back surgery. I found this video quite entertaining, but the LOLs it induced seem to have caused a couple of sutures to cease operating effectively. I may be higher than a kite, but that's your best work yet. Champagne Comedy.
Great video! I would love to see some videos on Aussie reptiles in the future. I live semi rural in Victoria and whenever I see some lizards I love watching them
You are dead set one of my favourite youtubers. It's been a long time since I got excited when someone uploads, but you've brought that back for me. Thanks man.
You may think those 65+ yr Olds are boomers but you've got them confused for the much more common category of children who selected 1800 as their birth year to get past censors.
@@sentimentalbloke185 Depends on where you are domiciled. Had an old raggedy-eared Swampy that lived on the farmhouse lawn for years. Used to take my old blue mutt for her daily "exercise constitutional" every morning when she was let off the chain! Never got near him of course. Well except for that 1 time when he took off a little tardily, hit the netting fence and rolled A-over-T before heading for the hills - very closely followed. Mutskie returned suitably tired as usual but with an "almost had him that time" look on her dial! 😉😊
No jokes today. Honestly, Bro, your videos are fantastic. The time, the effort, the skills and the pride put into every moment should be simply enviable to any documentary maker anywhere. Technical skills aside, there is also the clever humour to add spice to the existing ingredients and this, too, is extremely palatable, even when overuse is performed purposefully. I cannot speak more highly of both you and your audio-visual creations but of course, the fact these creations touch the patriotic heart of Australians must additionally be taken into account. Simply great work and long may you reign as Australia's senior, creative, doco talent slash comedian. Pause for applause and standing ovation. 🦘
Dude I am sooo curious as to your field of work or your study. My impression is that you're a young professional and this is your new hobby. I'm currently studying urban planning and your content is all stuff I think about a lot - birds and urban ecology, the impact of animal agriculture on the landscape and whether we should be pushing to eat more roos or not (for example). You're probably not a planner but the crossover makes me really curious. Ecologist would be an obvious guess but for some reason I feel like you're in tech or something.
So happily subscribed. The delivery is gold mate. So many one-liners. Disciplines of Zyzz. Who is Ruth, and why do we want less of her? A deluge of reproductive aioli😂
@@anthonyj7989 And many indigenous Australians have reclaimed "mob" as meaning the people from their part of the country. (Originally, this term would have been used by the white settlers as a derogatory term with the same meaning as used for kangaroos.)
Another banger! PS I've been making that stupid "Ruthless" gag for 30 years and this is the first time I've heard someone else do it. Feeling so seen rn
Brussels sprouts have improved vastly from the bitter version you might have had as a child. My wife found a recipe involving stir frying brussels sprouts (thinly sliced), bacon, almonds, lemon rind and lemon juice and served with fusilli pasta. Absolutely beautiful.
Decades ago, I was heating up a Weber kettle BBQ on KI. As I sat there waiting, a roo came up behind me silently and just sat beside me, just watching the bbq like I was. G’day love, how are you going? She moved a bit closer to me, and sniffed me, then let me give her a rub around her neck. When she had enough of that she turned to look at me, and we both gave each other a quick nod of ackowlegment as she moved off into the bush…
Well, it's been a while! Great to see another terrrific doco vid on our Aussie wonders. I love to share your videos with my American friends. They really enjoy your work. Merry Christmas!
Pentapeds! Love it. Informative as always, look forward to the next instalment. Have yet to consume any palatable (read quality/fresh) roo meat but will keep trying as I want to like it.
I am a Kiwi who has spent time in Oz. On a friend's farm in NSW, I saw several wallabys racing towards a five wire fence, they just leapt into the air, tucked legs etc in and pointed nose first.twanged at speed between the wires, then hopped away still going fast.
Fun fact - wallaroo is the name the original inhabitants gave to kangaroos. The word "kangaroo" means "l don't understand". This was uttered in response to Bamks when he asked them what the original people called the large hopping animals...
@@blackletter2591 Well there may have been 1 once (or maybe just a couple for any later migrations) but they've been here a long time. When you consider how much Americanese has degenerated from standard English in just the last few years it's not hard to understand the variance in Aboriginalese across the country.
I can vouch for the issue of ‘roos on the road. I moved from Canada to Queensland and I struck one when I was driving home after a late shift. I had only been in the country for two months and it’s done my head in a bit. I still think they’re brilliant creatures, but they truly are EVERYWHERE here.
I worked for three weeks in the Grampians, the camp I worked at was a sanctuary for a mob of greys, I had a favourite joey, a male who in contrast with the others had pale fur. I called him Blondie after Clint Eastwood's character in the Good the Bad and the Ugly. Every time I saw him I'd quietly go "Blooooondiiiiie!" It's been a few years, I hope he's doing okay.
We raised a number of orphaned joeys and released them when they grew to adults. I remember many encounters with old man Roos,they are huge and have no fear of humans, they stare you down!
AND THEY'RE DELICIOUS AS HELL! But they give me anxiety when I'm driving at dusk lol. They like playing dare with headlights. But they're still the best!
Very well done. Humour is used adeptly, you do have the aussie storytelling knack. If anyone questions why you aren’t drawling or dropping c bombs just tell em yer not on the beers yet mate…
It's not just toughened skin on their stomachs that stops them being disemboweled in fights. Marsupials and Monotremes have a special pair of bones in their belly called the 'epipubic bones' that attach to the front of the pelvis and run up the middle of the belly to where the belly button is. These are mostly used to support the weight of the pouch, but with male kangaroos, they're repurposed to serve as internal plate armour against those brutal kicks.
If you live in Australia roo is absolutely the best meat you can eat as a staple and I wish more people would do it. Doesn't rely on cleared farmland, doesn't require the resources that introduced livestock do, way healthier than beef or pork. Very yummy too.
This guy really popped out of nowhere and started uploading some of the best content on the site.
For real, I am always excited when I see this dudes channel pop up
@@cassius42oath, saw a video I had already scene pop up in my recommended and I got excited ahah
Literally
I could just walk a kilometer to find tons of wild roos, or I can watch this great UA-cam video about them...
Agree! All his videos are great, annnnnd, reasonably kid friendly :)
Humour as dry and unforgiving as the Australian outback itself.
Keep up the great work, cobber.
Aussie strikes the balance on the fine line of edutainment. Both incredibly funny, but also completely informative!
The ‘like autism’ got me 😂😂😂😂
They all exist on a spectrum
My autism never gave me a pouch, I was scammed.
This is my new favourite channel. Thank you for your charisma and awful puns. You're representing Australia in the best possibly light.

You can judge a country by the way they treat their wild animals, and Australia has a shameful history of mistreatment of our beautiful Kangaroos.
@@terrypemberton2632 be cruel to be kind though. at least with culling you could get meat from it as a byproduct almost.
@@terrypemberton2632 No you can't. History is a record of what other people did.
I’m a former American who moved to Australia over a year ago, and I still get so excited when I see roos or wallabies 🥰 Plus they’re delicious 😅
I would happily watch you cover literally anything, love the puns, the word play, the humour, it tickles my funny bone like crazy!
Good to see you back mate!
Please continue larping as a biologist
Yes

Cant help but giggle and smile the whole time watching these. Youre the greatest
Perfect. Goodonyer for having the confidence to broach the difficult topics like overabundance.

I can't believe you didn't use the video of a roo knocking another roo through a Colorbond fence.
Or the bloke who punches the roo that’s strangling his dog!
Probably because he used it in the one about Eucalyptus trees (I think)
I know he's used it before though lmao
The one of the roo attacking the landing skydiver is pretty sweet too.
…Kanga’root’ 🤦🏻🤣
Nearly slipped passed me hahaha
I was happy enough with your bird vids, but this is gold. Thank you.
Loving this channel! One of the best I have come across. Informative and humorous! Keep up the great work.

Roos are the best, bless 'em. Thanks for the video, even as an Aussie I learnt a lot.
Absolutely brilliant… loved it. So very true, and so authentically Aussie. What a you beaut, mint little pearler this video was. Many thanks ❤
Fantastic! I'm lucky to live in a rural region north of Melbourne, so I get to observe mobs in my paddocks.
I love your content.

Damn, kangaroos are already so bad ass, "a mob of kangaroo" sounds absolutely terrifying!

Yum, sounds delicious. I'll try anything flavoured with lemon.
Man what a ripper video. You make excellent stuff mate, keep at it
Absolutely LOVE every one of your videos!

She wanted your bent carrot
That was bloody brilliant, great presentation mate.
I used to ride a roo to school when i was kid. We all did! 🤣 Great video. Informative & hilarious! 🤣
Almost twenty years in Australia but I am still amazed by Kangaroos, I always like to watch them.
Great doco. My yard is full of these guys. They are endlessly entertaining.
This is one the best and most informative documentaries I have ever watched.
Another banger - always a happy day when your vids pop up!
Another fantastic vid
Love your channel, love your soundtracks
Another winner! Keep up this quality and you will have 1 million subscribers from all over the world.
So good brother. Gotta love them Macropods. Great work.
Bloody brilliant stuff as always. Thank you kind sir.
I look forward to your uploads! Please keep uploading!!!
Great vid! My partner and I have made it a tradition to watch your vids together and it’s always a pleasure!

What frenzy of puns to start with, love it.
You had me at: "... kangaroos exist on a spectrum, like autism."

Fantastic video. Very informative and funny.
