SYDNEY, Australia —Three members of an Australian family used a broom and a shovel to fight off a rare attack by a large kangaroo that left all of them injured, one seriously. One of the large males -- at least six-foot (1.8 metres) tall -- turned on her husband as he fed it, she told Queensland Ambulance Service. The kangaroo then hopped off back into the bush, Queensland Ambulance Service's senior operations supervisor Stephen Jones said, adding that the attack was "rare". "They are known to attack and can be quite vicious, particularly the large males. I don't want this kangaroo to be hunted down and killed, I love animals," she added.
