Shakila was holidaying at Kangaroo Valley when the kangaroo attached in her attempt to pat the wild kangaroo resting in the grass.
The woman expected it less only to see the kangaroo turned around, chased her down until she fell.
The roo eventually retreated after it jumped on her and leave Shakila with a face beaming with smile.
Shakila’s friend recalled the incident: ‘The one in the video was lying down and not moving. Shakila wanted to go up and pat the kangaroo, not realizing they can be dangerous, and as she got close, the kangaroo got up and attacked her.’
‘She tripped over, just missing the kangaroo’s claws,’ she concluded.
Kangaroos are only harmless, so long as they are left alone, unprovoked.
