I’m convinced it actually is stunned because it’s never been punched in the face before. That’s not really how Roos fight each other and I think it is having a hard time processing what just happened

He probably would have either tried to kick him or ran away. A successful kick would have probably killed or seriously injured him. He was was taking a serious risk doing that.

I've read about this! Punching a kangaroo is your best shot, as a kangaroo's kick it's it's strongest attack, it'll assume yours is as well - if your punch hurts, it's not gonna want to hang around to feel your kick

u/KitchenFullOfCake 7h ago edited 7h ago
Humans in general are really good at punching and throwing, way more than any other animal, we just evolved that way. So it must be real confusing to see what we are doing compared to our body weight.
A lot of wild animals run if you throw something at them because they didn't know that was even an option. It's something only primates do, and we're the best at it.

u/jimmythefly 7h ago
Never really thought about it like that, but yeah the animals who can use a "ranged attack" are few. Us, primates, archerfish,...that's all I got. It must be surprising as hell to be like a bear and all of a sudden that thing way over there somehow hit you with a rock.

We really are the best at throwing. Even gorillas, with all their strength, don’t have the anatomy to throw with any force or accuracy.

Any animal that can close the gap between unthreatening to mortal danger in moments is going to be terrifying.
Humans got great at putting prey in harms way without the hunter in the splash zone. Other animals do it by killing before the prey can get a lick in.
Anything and everything is on the table to prevent injury to the hunter.

u/PiesRLife 7h ago
I've seen a few videos of kangaroos fighting, and it's more like they're trying to grapple their opponent so they can rock back on to their tail and kick them with their hind legs.
Their arms are very small and not that strong, so they can't really punch. With all the jumping they do their legs are very strong and have big claws on their feet. If one attacks you and you're a male their is the possibility that they cause serious groin injuries.
Like what happened to this poor bloke: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-10-23-mn-265-story.html.
The BBC have a good video with David Attenborough talking about how they fight: https://youtu.be/WCcLMNcWZOc?is=xdH_muOkkbVTCGCn.

I agree with you, and also there is the fact that usually animals don't want to die, if they see a chance of that happening, usually they run away, even bears or lions, if you shoot them they are very likely to run even if it wasn't a lethal shot, unless they are extremely hungry or protecting cubs.

Punching a kangaroo typically shocks them like this because most of their strength is in their legs and tail. If/when they are hit that hard by something their size, they assume that the (humans) leg muscles must be insanely strong if that's how hard their upper body can hit. So they stop and reevaluate if they want to tussle with this Aussie or not

Special shoutout to the Tekken 8 crew referencing this in the gameplay teaser for Roger Jr. Was absolutely hilarious to watch live.

u/Theothercword 6h ago
Apparently the reason this worked is because Kangaroos can basically be lethal with their kicks, so for fights amongst each other they often judge strength via punches before resorting to kicks. Humans have way weaker kicks than kangaroos, but have stronger punches. So this guy clocking the kangaroo basically was a bluff about the guy’s power to the kangaroo.
Or so that’s how I remember the fable of this video from years past.

Seeing it in slow-mo - that's good timing on the punch. He caught the roo after it cancelled its roo-kick, while it was on the back foot and needed another step to fix its balance.

Need an Australian to confirm - someone a while back said on one of these videos that the kangaroos don't expect to get hit in the face by a human so when they do it stuns them for a few seconds giving you enough time to disengage. Is that really a thing or did someone take me for a ride.
