The giant muscular kangaroo,

Despite being only 9 years old, Roger is already considered the "giant" of the Kangaroo Sanctuary Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia due to his imposing appearance.

Because of his muscular physique, this red kangaroo often enjoys crushing metal buckets with his front legs as a daily exercise routine.

Not only does Roger have the advantage of a height of up to 2 meters and a weight of 89kg, he is also a skilled fighter. Normally, Roger has a very high awareness of protecting his own kind, and he will attack anyone who intends to approach him or female kangaroos in the group.

Chris "Brolga" Barnes, who takes care of Roger at the conservation center, said that he has been trained in boxing through a professional training program every day, including kickboxing, chasing, and crushing metal barrels with his front paws. Even with just one punch, Roger can "gut" his opponent in seconds.

Roger has been raised by Chris since his mother was killed on the highway in 2006. In the future, Roger may continue to develop even more because he is only 9 years old now, while the lifespan of red kangaroos usually lasts from 12 to 15 years.
