Now, this story is just silly: Fanged killer kangaroo roamed Outback.
Forget cute, cuddly marsupials. A team of Australian palaeontologists say they have found the fossilized remains of a fanged killer kangaroo and what they describe as a “demon duck of doom”.
…
The species found at the dig had “well muscled-in teeth, not for grazing. These things had slicing crests that could have crunched through bone and sliced off flesh”, Hand said.
I have this absurd image of saber-toothed kangaroos hopping around… Hey, maybe somebody will make a horror-thriller-scifi-Jurassic-Park type movie where killer kangaroos are brought back to life and terrorizing Australia! And if you can come up with a dumb enough name, Samuel L. Jackson will star in it!
Be careful for what you wish for.
Many years ago I was driving south of Bend, by Horse Butte, and I almost hit a Kangaroo. I thought it was a lame deer, but no…a kangaroo in Bend. Kind of like finding a Moose in Australia! I found out later it was an exotic pet that got loose.
