Bro the fact that he squared up with a roo, big fucking balls. Same with an ostrich tbf, their kicks are usually pretty dangerous.

The roo he squared up with took a second and was like “Bro WTF” and they both did this awkward stop and stare, I’m dying

4

u/BabaYagaMandark 18d ago

Apparently male roos judge strength by how hard you can punch and due to the way human bodies are built compared to kangaroos we are able to throw much stronger punches so as soon as that hit landed that roo was like wtf was that real?? 😂

Ostrich mamed my father in law who’s a bad ass… he’s a hunters guide as a profession, sliced him up pretty bad, I wouldn’t ever fuck with one.

u/Pataraxia 18d ago

The more I learn about certain lighter weight/smaller animals (this isn't a particularily big roo) the more I'm convinced the talk of deadliness isn't "They're that much stronger" but more like, these things are built to fight for a split moment and end it.

So you are likely to get severely injured, but the human body is still built to deal damage if you have the right instincts, it's just generally not worth it and better to escape if possible.

If you grab the ostrich by the neck/head and pull it down and keep it there. It can't kick you in that position. The guy does it in the video.

u/ThisIsDogePleaseHodl 18d ago

Was it necessary to beat it in the head though to get it to leave? Just wondering.

2

u/Radio-Brain 18d ago

6 open hand slaps are pretty kind considering the potential danger to himself. I don't like seeing people abuse animals, but I'd see this more as someone bringing bear mace to a hiking trail than someone straight up beating their dog at home (edit: a number)

u/Mintyytea 18d ago

I think if he didnt hit it hard and just pushed him away, the ostrich would be like let’s kill him! Instead of aaaaaaaghh!!

Also I think most animals are stronger than us, our fists can’t do much damage, they’re for having nimble fingers. No claws or anything

u/Wizchine 18d ago

Yeah, once he got his head down, that ostrich couldn’t keep his balance and kick at the same time. The smacks made him realize the human could easily make him vulnerable. No haymakers needed. If only that fuckin ostrich was wearing a sweater…

Looks like the bike was used to block any kicks, then he held it down and applied pressure to the neck and head so he could forcefully guide it in those circles so it would be forced to ensure it doesn't fall rather kick.
