Sparring kangaroos on Straddie
TWO eastern grey kangaroos have been captured on video in the middle of a duel on North Stradbroke Island.
Ruth Lewis said she was amused by the sparring spectacle and managed to film part of the display.
Ms Lewis was visiting a friend at Dunwich when her daughter called her to watch the marsupials on the grass off Mitchell Crescent.
Male kangaroos are known to fight or ‘box’ with one another for mating rights when females come into season.
They are not hesitant to use their formidable leg strength in the fight.
