Yo, keep an eye out for kangaroos if you're ever in The Land Down Under. Cuz they DO NOT mess around.

Just ask this guy in this one-minute segment from his six-minute battle with a roo:

.

.

This happened in central Victoria and left local man Cliff Des bruised and battered.

Cliff is 59, and when he heard his dogs barking in the backyard he decided to investigate. Turns out they were barking at this "six-foot mad roo," and when Cliff tried to shoo the roo away, this magnificent fight broke out.

Cliff tried to run away, as you saw in the above video, but inevitably the two got to throwing down.

The 59-year-old pinned the kangaroo after it continued to attack him.

"I thought this guy means business, he was going to mongrel me if I didn't, I took him to the ground.

"It tried to gouge my face. I put my head down so it gouged me on the top of my head. It bit my finger. Then it put its back claw through my leg, about an inch-and-a-half through my back leg, shredded my pants down to the cuff."

Des then tried to run away again and it chased him around his car, with the ordeal lasting six minutes and 22 seconds.

A great sport, Des says he's happy the attack happened to him instead of one of the elderly residents or even one of the kids who are commonly seen in the area. He also said this, which just proves how good of a guy he is.

However, Des said he held no resentment towards kangaroos after the encounter, saying humans were on kangaroos' land.

"We built our roads over theirs. They're a beautiful animal.

"What I can take from the whole scenario is just don't go near them.

"They can snap...we don't know how they think."

What a guy!

And we hope he can recover quickly.

As for my favorite part of this amazing story:

The kangaroo hopped away uninjured.

🤣🤣🤣

I hope to share the full six-minute video with you someday soon.
