Rodger Kangaroo

[gwilson31]

Did you read that Rodger the kangaroo died?  He was called The Bodybuilder kangaroo because he had huge muscles.  He was 12 and they say he died of old age.  He lived in Australia

I never heard of this character. Was he at a zoo in Australia?

You seem sad about it. I guess he must have been adorable.

Nope. Checked online and he's definitely not adorable in my book. But I guess maybe because his momma was killed and he was adopted, that made him special to people.

To each his own.

I saw photos of him and thought they were photoshopped! Not the usual kangaroo photos I have seen. I know a kick from one can kill you, but I had no idea they are boxers too.

His son Monty is the new alpha male there now.

Never heard of Rodger.

Sounds amazing. They are very interesting animals.

I also have never heard of him, but it is very sad.  Perhaps his size had something to do with it.

Never heard of him. 


When I read the topic title without seeing the content, I figured this thread was some comparison of my two favorite TV shows as a youngster: Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and Captain Kangaroo!

I had never heard of him until I saw where he got hit by a car.  Personally I would think the pictures were fake.
