Ravi (the red kelpie) bailed up this big old man kangaroo, so he went for a swim. Roos can be deadly to dogs in a river. The roo's longer legs allow him to get a grip and drown the dog.
A lot of people this of kangaroos as gentle animals. And they are. But they can also be fierce fighters, especially the big males. They fight each other for possession of a mob of breeding does (as in "doe, a deer, a female deer...")
This big male roo simply waited Ravi out, took a b ath, then hopped out and went on his way. The drought has brought many roos in from the west. We'd have several hundred on Uamby now.
