Epic Kangaroo Fight

An excerpt from an epic sparring match between a couple of young wild kangaroos, with plenty of rest breaks for some serious scratching. It went on like this for ages. Check out all the other wildlife throughout the course of the clip - it was like a frickin' zoo! See if you can count the roos in the shot - there's a few hiding in the longer grass in the background, and more pop up throughout the video. And all this was simply the view from my car window while I was parked on the side of the road near an Aussie country town.

Best viewed in 720p. Or preferably in 1080p straight from my camera before it was softened and compressed for streaming.

Filmed with a Canon 7D and EF 400mm f/5.6L USM, resting on a small bean-bag on the frame of my car window, approx 5.15pm 8/12/11, near the old abandoned house on Oakleys Lane, Broke, Hunter Valley NSW Australia.

I love the big roo in the background at 2:50, and the little jump-for-joy by the rabbit at the bottom of the frame at 2:55...

@mal1067ry What is "subbed" ?

[mal1067ry]

"subbed" - subscribed to your channel, lol (my email's back up, been down since Friday - Telstra server crash!)

Although - to all our international viewers - he has his special spots. Just like a well worn fisherman has his holes!

Pity you weren't closer to those marsupials - nice job though!
