Very Friendly Kangaroos, for now...

These two young Kangaroos were just play fighting, all friendly stuff, gearing themselves up for when they reach adulthood when their fight will be less friendly!!

The idea of a boxing kangaroo originates from the animal's defensive behavior, in which it will use its smaller forelegs (its "arms") to hold an attacker in place while using the claws on its larger hind legs to try to kick, slash or disembowel them. This stance gives the impression that the kangaroo appears to be "boxing" with its attacker.
