Man punches kangaroo in the face to save dog

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

This is honestly one of the strangest videos you’re likely to see. It appears to be lifted from an Australian nature show and depicts a man climbing out of an SUV to punch a kangaroo in the face after it attacked a dog.

Kangaroos are herbivores and rarely attack anything unless they’re threatened, which makes a clip of one holding a dog in a headlock very bizarre. Either way, the dog was in serious danger until the man came to its aid and punched the roo right in its face.

It’s hard to know what prompted the kangaroo to attack, but this is easily the most Australian video on the internet.
