AFP – 9 hrs ago.....

Australian police were forced to pepper-spray a giant kangaroo after it bounded into an elderly woman's garden as she was hanging out the washing and attacked her.

Sergeant Stephen Perkins told the newspaper the animal lunged at two officers when they arrived and they had to use pepper spray to subdue it.

:D I wonder what my dog would do if she were face to face with a kanga. Probably run away!

Koalas are nasty animals too, they'll scratch and claw you. Pretty much any living creature in australia, snakes, spiders, etc can leave you having a very bad day

Yeah they got a few of the deadliest snakes on the planet amd spiders. Still wonder what the Roo would have done to see some big ass Great Dane, Rottweiler, or Sheep Dog. Come Bounding over. Even a Pit Bull.....might cause some hesitation.

Wonder what she cleaned her sheets with that attracted it.....the AP says it jumped over a fence.

Yeah I gotta think one of those attack dogs would win the battle. A Rottie could just launch for the neck and once locked on, it'd be lights out. I think the Kanga is like a tall boxer -- the reach is its best asset. Get inside the arms and legs and it would be game over.
