An Australian paraglider had a nasty encounter with a kangaroo when he landed at the Orroral Space Tracking Station in Australian Capital Territory, Australia.
The video of the incident, which went viral, shows the paraglider, Johnathan Bishop, excitedly making a perfect landing before being attacked by a kangaroo who seems rather unhappy to see him.
The kangaroo attacks him twice before hopping off and heading back into the bush.
‘I had been paragliding cross country for two hours near Canberra and had reached a position where I had to land,’ Bishop says in the video description. ‘I was concentrating on the landing and didn’t notice the kangaroo until after I landed.’
Kangaroos have been known to unexpectedly attack humans in Australia, so although we don’t know why the animal decided to pick a fight with Bishop, this incident isn’t a complete anomaly.
