Two kangaroos duke it out on a suburban street in Australia
Maybe your suburban street is stereotypically sleepy and subdued, but that's not the case for one road in Central Coast, Australia, where two male kangaroos decided that yes, they did want to take it outside. While the video's authenticity can't be confirmed, it's pretty amazing:
A kangaroo can apparently support its entire body weight on just its tail (check out 1:15 in the video above). So if you ever find yourself face-to-face with one of these guys, watch out for the double-leg kick.
