Jonathan Bishop got a little more than he bargained for when he paraglided into the Orroral Valley Space Tracking Station in Canberra, Australia.
He was paragliding cross country for two hours, and reached a point where he had to land. Although the landing was a smooth one, the local ‘roos weren’t happy about the intrusion into their territory.
They’re cute but vicious.
Here’s Mashable with Bishop’s version of events:
“I was concentrating on the landing and didn’t notice the kangaroo until after I landed. As it ran towards me I thought it was being friendly so I said, ‘What’s up, Skip?’ It then attacked me twice before hopping away. I packed up my paraglider and had to walk several kilometers to get phone reception and call a friend to come and collect me.”
All I can say is I’m really glad he got it all on camera. Roll tape:
It doesn’t get more Australian than that.
