To safely behave around wild kangaroos, keep your distance, stay calm, and avoid direct eye contact or standing tall, as these can be seen as threats. If a kangaroo approaches, turn sideways to reduce your profile, keep arms low, and slowly back away. Do not run, as they can outrun you at up to 35 mph.
Key Behaviors for Safety
Keep Distance: Do not approach, especially males that are fighting or near females.
Do Not Feed: Feeding kangaroos can make them aggressive and dependent on humans.
Avoid Eye Contact: Staring is considered aggressive, so look away.
Do Not Turn Your Back: Back away slowly, always facing the animal, and avoid sudden movements.
Use Protection: If walking in high-density areas, carry a stick (like a walking pole or umbrella) for a barrier.
How to Handle Aggression
Act Submissive: A quick, deep cough can act as a signal that you are not a threat, say (according to some, though others suggest avoiding all contact).
Go Behind Cover: Move behind trees or fences.
If Attacked: Do not run. Instead, curl into a ball, cover your head and neck, and wait for them to lose interest.
If a Kangaroo Attacks
Do not fight back if possible: Instead of boxing, curl up to protect your face and stomach.
Protect Your Vitals: Their primary weapons are their back legs and claws, which can cause severe injury.
If you are in an area with a lot of kangaroos, such as a golf course or campsite, it is best to be vigilant at dawn and dusk, when they are most active.
