Kangaroos in the tent fight: When vacationers become a viewer of the animal rougen!

On a campsite on the east coast of Australia, there was a wild spectacle: two boxing kangaroos caused excitement when they crashed into a tent in the middle of a brutal fight. A video shows the anxiety -filled screams of a woman while an eyewitness warns her: "Just keep your distance!" Fortunately, the action at the Trial Bay Gaol Campground, north of Sydney, was lightly reminded for the holidaymakers in the tent - but the aggressive discussion remembered, as t-online.de reported that kangaroo can also be violent despite their normally peaceful nature. It remains unclear whether the animals argued around their territory or a female.

This exciting scene comes at a time when scientists from Flinder University in Australia explore the evolution of the locomotion of kangaroos. They found that the musk rat kangaroo, a small relative of the large kangaroos, may be an evolutionary bridge to the iconic bouncy animals. Like oe24.at reported , use the musk rat kangaro both its front legs to continue. This discovery suggests that there was a transition point between the locomotion on four legs and the bouncing passage of the kangaroos, which further illuminates the evolution of these animals.

The results of this research could not only expand our understanding of the kangaroos in Australian outback, but also illuminate the fascinating history of the marsupials as a whole. In a deeper analysis of the fossil remains of earlier species, the researchers hope to get to the bottom of how the characteristic bounc of the kangaroos developed.
