Kangaroos - The Good, the Bad and the Weird

- It's about time I covered a mammal and what better way to start than with Australia's most iconic animal. You may think you know the kangaroo but there's a lot more to them than meets the eye. From their legs to their stomachs and their... heh other parts, they truly are a bizarre creature.

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
Please continue larping as a biologist
Yes
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 is my new favourite channel. Thank you for your charisma and awful puns. You're representing Australia in the best possibly light.
ACK!
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!
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!
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
"cheeky"? Getting your back rolls removed?
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.
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…
theyre beautiful creatures
They say the Emus are on our coat of arms because of that war. It was a condition of the peace deal.
Sounds legit
Seriously man, your right up there with David Attenborough for your content. I love your videos ❤ keep up the good work
Better. I can listen to you.
6:32 that's super interesting, microbiomes are underrated.
This is one the best and most informative documentaries I have ever watched.
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. 🦘
I sincerely agree with you!
I’ve never seen a doco on the humble roo told so eloquently
Beautifully written mate. I sincerely appreciate it!
I love this YT guy’s dry humour and descriptive talent!!!
Damn, kangaroos are already so bad ass, "a mob of kangaroo" sounds absolutely terrifying!
@@anthonyj7989 Well, I’d rather face a mob of cow or sheep than a mob of kangaroos... or a mob of Australians! ;-) ;-)
@@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.)
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.
Another most excellent creation, thank you! Swamp wallaby is my spirit animal…
They're hard to find.
Good choice, they're little cuties!
@@sentimentalbloke185 naw, just go for an early morning walk in the Dandenong Ranges 🥰
Cant help but giggle and smile the whole time watching these. Youre the greatest
its a good friday when you upload mate 🔥
Great video
The eastern grey has very poor road sense, as crocodile dundee once said "get off the road ya turkey!"
They either just sit there, come from nowhere at high speed, or hop along in front of you. Them and wombats are the main peril for rural motorists!
Absolutely brilliant… loved it. So very true, and so authentically Aussie. What a you beaut, mint little pearler this video was. Many thanks ❤
That kangaroo description at the end also describes Aussies pretty well
Perfect. Goodonyer for having the confidence to broach the difficult topics like overabundance.
Roos are the best, bless 'em. Thanks for the video, even as an Aussie I learnt a lot.
I did a thing but actually informative and educational
👍 Keep ‘Em coming! These are great vids.
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.

You had me at: "... kangaroos exist on a spectrum, like autism."
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.
Brussels sprouts lover here.
What a terrible way to treat bacon, almonds & lemon juice!
😂@@JaneNewAuthor
Yum, sounds delicious. I'll try anything flavoured with lemon.
…Kanga’root’ 🤦🏻🤣
Nearly slipped passed me hahaha
OMG mate your vids have me in tears of laughter. Your script and delivery (scuse pun) are on point!
So, cheetahs may be the fastest, but the roos are probably the best marathon runners
Man what a ripper video. You make excellent stuff mate, keep at it
What frenzy of puns to start with, love it.
Another fantastic vid
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...
Trouble is, there were hundreds of languages, all with a word for kangaroo. There's no basic mother aboriginal language.
Australia is also one of the only countries where you can legally eat the coat of arms. It’s called skip and chips.
Loving this channel! One of the best I have come across. Informative and humorous! Keep up the great work.
What a brilliant presentation. Love the dry humour and puns.
I was happy enough with your bird vids, but this is gold. Thank you.
Another winner! Keep up this quality and you will have 1 million subscribers from all over the world.
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😂
Thanks man! I had fun writing the reproduction section haha
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
Fantastic (all vids). Any chance of bush-stone curlew vid? Big ❤ from Karragarra Island, QLD.
As someone said before, "When god created earth, he put australia in hard mode"
Australia is so easy that the natives barely even dipped into the stoneage tech tree.
@@brendo7363Humans cause other humans to progress forward. Aboriginals had to deal with that wildlife and generally inhospitable environments.
While there were definitely conflicts, Australia is so vast and the Aboriginal population so small that they didn't generally have huge "wars" and so they the main driving factor in human advancement was mostly absent.
They were focused on survival.
@@johndiddilyjoe6258I do at times wonder if it was a form of crippling overspecialisation. You would think a desire for trade and outside goods would also drive invention, but looking at their known history it never really happened. Meanwhile they managed to find ways to survive in an area that is mostly a desert or tropical region with some admitidly very strange creatures and plants and develop cultural methods of survival that simply wouldn't work anywhere else. I do wonder how they got so stuck in one way when almost everyone else was moving forward in some form.
@@00yiggdrasill00 It's exactly that. They "evolved" to live in a specific environment and got really good at that.
That being said, though, Aboriginals thrived in even ancient Australia when legitimate 11 meter long komodo dragons walked around.
They've also got some of, if not the oldest, surviving art from any current day culture. They built boats that could make it over extremely dangerous waters, and they had been doing fire safety burn off's along with other other land management techniques that, to this day, are still being used.
What they did in the conditions they lived in is just amazing.
Absolutely LOVE every one of your videos!
I look forward to your uploads! Please keep uploading!!!
Kangaroos are natures traffic cones, seriously one of the biggest stresses to rural Aussie drivers
It's very sad to drive all the way from Cairns Qld to Victoria and only see 7 alive kangaroos. Loads of dead ones and..no alive red kangaroos however I did see 3 dead ones on the road....for a Tourist it must be very disheartening to come all the way to Australia and see hundreds and hundreds of feral goats, barron lands with trees decimated from logging for cattle and sheep...I did for the first time in 50 years see for the first time Emu's..a whole 15 covering km's in 3 states...
Very sad....
Their camouflage is really good, you can’t see them if they’re snoozing, especially when you’re driving past at 100kph
@@jandrews6254 didn't think of that... thanks 👍
Informative and some laughs! Top combo!
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…
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.
Love your channel, love your soundtracks
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!
Awesome 👍🏽.Loved It.😜😜
"Kangaroot" might just be your best work yet.
Another banger - always a happy day when your vids pop up!
Very interesting and I love your Aussie humour!
Kangaroos meat is delicious if cooked properly. It’s tender and has great flavour. It’s also very lean and that’s good for our health. I recommend farmed kangaroo meat though because the wild variety may have worms and other parasites that are not so healthy for us.
I do love to watch them in the wild and we see them every day feeding in the pasture along side our horses and during our recent dry season we had them coming right up to the grass around our verandas. They are incredible animals and I learned a few things that I didn’t know about them from this video and I loved the dry sense of humour from the narrator. Thanks for a delightful and informative video!
I love roos. Except when they go through the radiator. Don't like them then.
I used to ride a roo to school when i was kid. We all did! 🤣 Great video. Informative & hilarious! 🤣
Flavour flave got it wrong he was cold Larping. Awesome clip mate
Around Coffs Harbour (Woolgoolga) during high school we would have to shoo them away while they tried to eat our sambos out of our hands then pat them so they werent too mad. I fkn love being Australian.
That was bloody brilliant, great presentation mate.
Great stuff. Absolutely luv your work.
Bloody brilliant stuff as always. Thank you kind sir.
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.
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!
I’m so glad you live in the age of UA-cam! And that grey nomad comparison was delicious : )
Kangaroos are fun, I once went camping and had fun talking to the local kangaroos in a Scottish accent (I'm Australian, and good at Scottish accent).
So good brother. Gotta love them Macropods. Great work.
Great doco. My yard is full of these guys. They are endlessly entertaining.
Love you videos mate. Well Done
Another great episode Backyard! 👍
Fantastic video. Very informative and funny.
Great vid! My partner and I have made it a tradition to watch your vids together and it’s always a pleasure!
"A deluge of reproductive aeoli" 😂😂😂😂😂
That ruthless line was like an uppercut, I had to pause for a bit to laugh
The descriptions are wild. 🤣 Best fucking nature channel next to Casual Geographic. I wish you two could do a collab. ❤
We now await for him to talk about ostri- no, emus, and the world's greatest war ever seen.
You gotta do the tassie tiger at some point. From what I hear it’s a proto-kangaroo that evolved into a dog.
Honey wake up, new Backyard Naturalist posted
Great video
another fantastic vid!!!
Another outstanding addition mate.
Your very entertaining, thanks, I enjoy your work ❤
dyou see that story about a roo getting loose in canada? he punched a cop lol
probably drunk
Yep I did, it fills you with pride!
Less destructive than our tourists then
Another awesome video! Cheers!
For those of you that are interested. Kangaroo meat is very delicious and has a lot of natural flavour so you need to be careful about over seasoning it. You can start small with some shish kebobs or even a burger. If you are feeling up to it and want to go straight for the steak I recommend a medium.
Another great video. Thanks
Another super interesting video mate
11:30 yo rip the moa (yes Kellogg's, im still miffed that you didnt have Halo moa Pringles in ANZ)
I love this guys videos!
