Boxing kangaroos fight it out and wipe out family tent

Shocking video shows boxing kangaroos fight it out and knocking over a family tent.

Two kangaroos were caught on camera in a violent boxing match and shockingly almost wiping out an entire family who were peacefully sleeping in their tent.

In a popular Twitter thread started by a Channel Nine journalist, video footage depicts two kangaroos in a boxing match. The fight rapidly intensified when the Aussie icons crashed into a sleeping family’s tent.

The video filmed by a panicked onlooker at the Trial Bay Gaol Campground on NSW’s Mid North Coast, was heard to be warning fellow campers and shouted “Don’t go near them!”

The family in the tent, in what appeared to be German, was heard to be screaming “Out, out!!” amongst other high pitched shrieking.

Channel Nine journalist Olivia Grace-Curran said the two male kangaroos were fighting over a female kangaroo.

The footage brought in a flood of reactions from Twitter users, with many stunned at the shocking boxing match between the animals.

One user exclaimed: “This won‘t help with Australia’s image as a nation overrun by kangaroos.”

Another user chimed and said: “Fun fact: screaming at fighting kangaroos in German won‘t make them stop because most of them don’t speak German.”

Meanwhile, others were not as surprised with the filmed scenes and excused it as normal Aussie things.

One user said: “Just another day in Aus.”

Another user simply replied with “straya.”
