Kangaroo tries to ‘drown a man in floodwater after throwing punches at him’

A man named Don James had a terrifying encounter with a kangaroo in Port Macquarie, Australia, where record floods have caused significant distress among wildlife. During the incident, the kangaroo attacked him, punching him and attempting to drown him by holding his head underwater until he managed to escape when startled by a passing car. Wildlife expert Kym Kilpatrick noted that such unusual behavior from kangaroos, especially during flood events, can occur when they feel threatened, urging people to prioritize their safety around distressed animals.
