It’s so weird to me that you just see kangaroos walking around. Like, that’s a zoo animal. But then I feel the same way about deer and I see them several times a week.
I guess it is just what you’re used to. In my mind a deer is somewhat exotic, or cute. A ‘nice’ animal. Whereas to me a kangaroo is somewhat annoying, like a large rat. If I’m walking the dog at night I occasionally have to scare a mob off to clear our path. You can’t pat them or approach too closely as they can attack if they feel threatened or scared. Rare, but I’m not going to take that chance. And so many end up as roadkill as fences tend not to stop them. So, not so nice overall.
Interesting to see all the different experiences from around the world.

To Americans, it would be like coming across an elephant.
