We’re sorry to report that Roger the ripped kangaroo is no longer with us.

Chris Barnes from the Kangaroo Sanctuary in Australia posted the sad news on Facebook.

“It’s a sad day,” he said. “Our beautiful boy, Roger, has passed away.”

Roger rose to fame in 2015 when a photo of him crushing a metal bucket went viral.

In the photo, which you can see below, Roger stands tall and bizarrely ripped. Here’s VICE:

“Line up ladies,” reads the post. “With over 12 kangaroo wives, Roger the ripped kangaroo will crush your heart as fast as he crushed his metal feed bucket.”

Yup, you read that right. Roger, alongside being a fitness icon, was an amorous boy. In his sanctuary, he was the alpha bro and had upward of twelve wives who he reportedly pleased regularly. It wasn’t just the hearts of fellow roos that Roger was breaking, there were plenty of articles (written by actual humans) about the “sexy kangaroo” that kind of implied they wanted to f*ck this animal.

Erm, okay. That’s a little too weird.

Moving swiftly on to this video made in memory of Roger:

Most kangaroos don’t live past the age of 10, so Roger had a good long life. He was also quite famous and almost single-handedly responsible for keeping the Kangaroo Sanctuary going thanks to his many fans.

More than that, Roger was a very big ‘roo:

At his peak, Roger stood at 6 foot 7 and weighed over 200 pounds. He was, for a lack of a better term, a roo you didn’t want to fuck with.

Here he is showing off his softer side:

By the time Roger died, he had millions of fans. He was also widely shared and even had his own meme.

Do you though?

…Roger showed us that even the sturdiest walls collapse, that even the tallest mountains are eventually climbed, that even the prettiest flower wilts, but he showed us much, much more. Roger showed us how we should live—jacked as hell, hopping around the outback.

RIP, Roger.
