Roo was fine
There's already tire swerve marks there (0:29).
Is it a little game they play?

Little white tail will make your sphincter pucker on a motorcycle, pitch black road, at around 90 MPH.
Lost count of the number of times it happened to me.
Lord was always riding co-pilot with me I guess.
Never clipped one.

Gave me a headache watching. Wrong side of the road and in km/h. Yeah, all those black marks make me think you should have these on that road:
As for motorcycles I've done an unintended 360 on a dark mountain road because of a possom before. I really have no idea how it wasn't a crash. That was in the days before there were armadillos in Tennessee.

I used to ride and after one too many close calls with Bambi stopped. I had a discussion with one guy on a large BMW who split one in two. He said his luck held out and he hit it sideways right between the ribs and the hind end. Very minor damage to the bike and he and the BMW stayed completely upright. BUT he said he was covered head to toe in deer excrement.
I smell a bit of fish in that story.
I thought the same, but with a smaller deer I can see the possibility. Guy seemed a straight shooter.I smell a bit of fish in that story.

The tyre marks look more like they were left by the local boy racers doing burnouts and donuts.

That's a small one. A full grown Red totaled an army truck (that was on the road side after that ) when I was travelling north from Adelaide back in '93.
Which is why according to our driver then, most of the trucks traveling between towns outside of the big cities have additional crash bumpers and they called them Roo-bars or something like that. Not much help though as many of those adult kangaroos are about a meter above ground when they leap onto / across the roads..

Yes, I dont think all of that was "roo avoidance". "Hoons" in the local vernacular

We have a lot of roos near us, occasional roo poo on the driveway. If you come across a big one they are pretty intimidating. I came across a 5-6ft one whilst walking the dogs once, we backed off rapid.

Roo poo so big? Damn huge Kangas.

We have heaps of wallabies in our area- no roos. Most afternoons there are at least half a dozen eating the grass on my 'lawn'. They are just cute mini kangaroos in reality, but very peaceful and timid.
They go down the side of the house each night next to our bedroom and I lie there listening, just to make sure it's not a burglar.
There's a lot of joeys (baby wallabies) just out of the pouch, so they are bounding all over the place and we have to watch them when coming up the street. If you see on wallaby jump across the road, there is always another one or two that blindly follow. They are the ones that get hit.

I want one.
