My friend's housemate, Abul, who arrived in Australia from somewhere in Africa had a story about kangaroos. The first week in Oz he's looking around and decides to visit a 'petting zoo' where you can get up close with cute and cuddly animals, hold a koala etc.

Anyway people are out feeding treats to the kangaroos on the lawn of this zoo and this big one jumps up to Abul, who freaks out and throws up his hands to defend himself. But this big male kangaroo goes between his hands and grabs Abul around the neck with his claws.

Unfortunately this grappling position is how male kangaroos fight, they grab on to each other and then kick each other with their powerful legs. Kangaroos have awesomely strong legs and can jump huge fences etc. So while Abul is struggling to get this kangaroo off his neck it kicks him right in the jewels. Abul doubles up in excruciating pain while a whole class of heartless school kids laughes their asses off at him.

Abul feels like the kangaroo has burst his sack and he physically cannot get up. Eventually the zoo staff come over and ask if he wants an ambulance but Abul doesn't speak much English at that point so he says no.

The staff are like 'you have to get up sir, you're causing a scene'. But Abul is still in too much pain to walk, so the staff bring over a little truck they use to transport sedated animals and put Abul in the back. As they drive back to the office all the visitors are looking into the back of the truck to see poor Abul holding his junk and trying not to cry.

Back at the office Abul still can't stand or sit up so the staff decide to put him on the vet's operating table until he feels better. They delicately help him take off is pants and give him an ice pack to apply to his balls. So Adul is lying on the table rocking back and forth and in his genitally focused state he finally notices he's being observed on the next table by a slightly sedated goat.

The worst thing Abul said was that he could hear the zoo staff outside the door. He was scandalised. 'I could hear they were laughing!'.

TLDR: don't ever try to hug a kangaroo.
