That’s One Massive ‘Roo

It is not uncommon for kangaroos to look like a dedicated gym buff. Despite being fuzzy and adorable, kangaroos are formidable animals that can reach over 61/2ft in height and weigh over 200lbs. A single kick from a kangaroo can easily kill a human being, and they have nails that can do some severe damage as well. Although you may have the urge to run up to a ‘roo and give it a big hug, it is not advised. Kangaroos are wild animals that best to be enjoyed at a distance.

The Saltwater Crocodile

The riverbanks of Australia should be avoided, especially during the summer months, as that is when these crocodiles are most active. An impressive, yet lazy predator, Saltwater Crocodiles prefer to ambush their prey rather than give chase. They lie in wait below the waterline at riverbanks and strike with lightning speed when prey approaches. Crocodiles are not picky eaters and are known to eat a variety of animals, small and large alike. If their prey is not small enough to swallow whole, they will drag the unfortunate animal down to the bottom of the river and wait for it to drown before devouring it.
