Kanga-brew! Manky the roo snapped 'waiting' at bar

A kangaroo photographed standing at a West Australian bar has caused a stir on social media.

In the photo, which was shared on satirical Instagram page Brown Cardigan on Friday, the kangaroo is seen next to stools and a table staring at the empty bar.

The caption joked the roo was after “an ice cold long neck at 7.40am”.

Since being shared, the post has garnered more than 22,000 likes and left many in hysterics.

“Meanwhile, in Australia…” one man wrote.

Another suggested the kangaroo was chasing a beer “with plenty of hops”.

“Little known fact. The kangaroo can only neck a cold one when it’s tail is resting on the ground,” another man wrote.

The kangaroo pictured is Manky, standing at the John Forrest Tavern, northeast of Perth, which is situated in John Forrest National Park.

Kangaroos are known to visit the premises and sometimes go into the pub.

It is unclear when this latest photo of Manky was taken.
