Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chosun Juan" data-source="post: 3585377" data-attributes="member: 92780">Very interesting article detailing attacks on cyclists, joggers, and golfers - it somewhat tongue in cheek postulates that:  "If you didn’t know any better, you’d think Australia’s best-known native mammal had a grudge against people who exercise."  !Article titled "Why do kangaroos attack cyclists, joggers, golfers?" | Adelaide Now.Soz  folks, having difficulty providing a link which doesn't run into a premium content pay wall. The article provides many accounts not listed elsewhere of attacks on people engaged in outdoor sporting /hobby pursuits - perhaps something about the movement and reduced assessment time sends the roos straight into instinctual mode?, and when it's mating time (which is most of the time), and /or you're  in their  territory  (just about everywhere - mating rights), that often results in "fight"   :eek!:I originally managed to read this article (but only the once) by going via a Google search.
