A Less Rosy View of Kangaroos

An Australian woman said she was picking roses outside her home on the outskirts of Brisbane when a large kangaroo pushed her down and then kicked, bit and scratched her.

“The look in the kangaroo’s eye made me feel that I knew I was in trouble,” Sylvia Aldren told Nine Network television. “I thought this is it, he’s going to kill me.” Aldren suffered injuries to her chest, arms and legs.

Neighbors said they have been terrorized in recent years by a mob of about 50 kangaroos.
