Kangaroo Attack: Australian Man Survives Drowning Attempt
An Australian man, Don James, had a terrifying experience near Port Macquarie, New South Wales, involving an unusually aggressive kangaroo.
Unexpected Encounter
The kangaroo reportedly chased James into floodwaters, where it allegedly attempted to drown him. Local resident Kristy Lees witnessed the bizarre incident.
'Boxing Match'
Lees described the scene as a "boxing match" between James and the kangaroo. She stated the kangaroo held James underwater.
Survival Story
James, who previously survived a great white shark encounter, managed to escape when the kangaroo was apparently spooked. He expressed disbelief at being targeted by such aggressive wildlife.
Kangaroo Behavior
Wildlife experts noted that kangaroos sometimes lure predators into water as a defensive tactic, although this is usually aimed at dogs, not humans.
