A kangaroo at the Cohunu Koala Park wildlife sanctuary has done its part in keeping American tourists terrified of our wildlife by squaring up to fight a visitor to the park last week.

In a video posted to TikTok that as  racked up 5.6 million views, a kangaroo is seen pestering another visitor before a tourist from the U.S. steps in to defend her.

The large roo then turn its attention solely to the man who initially keeps it at arms reach before having to push and lightly kick it away from him.

Eventually a ranger steps in and gives a stern word to the iconic Australian marsupial.

It’s not the first time that kangaroos have been involved in fights with humans, although sometimes it goes down a bit different to how it did in the wildlife park!
