for kangaroos the greatest challenges come from within their own society for a male there's only really one key lesson to learn in his life to get to the top he must become a fighter battles are so brutal the male's need years of training to prepare the effort is worth it because a champion fighter wins privileged access to the females this meadow is a boot camp for aspiring boxers training starts as soon as a youngster is out of the pouch its mother is a handy opponent for a young Joey learning
the basics but he soon off in search of more sparring partners the other grown-ups are not so tolerant of this lightweight you [Music] this male alone rules the meadow [Music] he stands eight feet tall his muscles hardened by years of sparring today a challenger for his title has come forward full-blown fights are send dangerous they're not entered into likely but when two males square up it's time to clear the arena anything goes in these power struggles I doubting is entirely within the rules
so is kicking below the belt the dominant male skill is already telling [Music] the stakes are high they risk broken bones and internal injuries certainly it's all over the champion has beaten off the Challenger at least for now [Music] [Music] you

Man saves dog from Kangaroo anyone?
Kangaroos are basically a hybrid between a rabbit a body builder and Jackie Chan.
Fact: Most kangaroos can jump higher than a house. This is mostly due to their very powerful legs, and the fact that houses can’t jump. 
"The humans are here. Come on, we've gotta fight." "Do we have to? It hurts." "Yes, man. Don't embarrass me in front of Attenborough."
Someone should make a movie about a kangaroo starting out as a kid and as he gets older he’s climbs into the ranking to be the best kangaroo fighter ever
I feel like I was lied to about the cuteness of kangaroos 😂😂😂
anyone else come here from the video of a guy punching a kangaroo?
“The males need years to prepare” continues to kick each other in the balls
Anyone else realize a kangaroos life is all about squaring up and catching some smoke
As a person who’s really into combat sports is fascinating how the martial arts we know and love all can be found in the natural world. Wrestling in many ways are similar to the grappling between bears. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be seen on big cats with the bottom position kicking up and practically pulling guard. And Muay Thai clinch and knees are very similar to how kangaroos fight and kick. And ground and pound hammer fists can be seen from apes. It’s really interesting how humans are able to utilize all of these styles into our fights.
1st Rule of Kangaroo Fight Club: Whenever you hear humans playing dramatic music in the background, you have to fight!
You can see that the more experienced Roo was accurate with his kicks. Stomach shots with both feet each time while the challenger missed or hit him with one foot.
Everyone knows you came from the man punching a kangaroo video, chill.
who would’ve thought quarantine had me going so crazy i’d be up at 3:00 am watching kangaroos boxing
Can we take a moment to appreciate how dramatic the commentator comments is.
I love how they never open their mouths. Claps for such a silent fight.
"Years of training to prepare" Kangaroo: head held back like a drunk sailor
It's so great to have these unique animals in our country. Great footage. Thanks!
1:50 The guy she tells you not to worry about.
It’s cool how they use their tail as a third leg
