Why Aussie animals are the toughest in the world

Australian animals are tough.

If our kangaroos competed in the animal version of Mr Universe they would win.

While we’re well aware of how tough our animals are, tourists still get a surprise when they see the harder side of the Aussie wilderness.

A couple of tourists got a wake up call recently when they realized our kangaroos weren’t all that cute and cuddly.

The group stumbled across two roos hitting it out in the middle of an open field, in a scene that could easily be mistaken for a boxing ring.

These videos prove why our animals are tougher than the rest of the world.
