TALK about a roo with a rig.

Gardener Jackson Vincent found himself face-to-face with this threatenin­g 100kg kangaroo bathing its bulging biceps in a creek in Western Australia. A stunned Mr Vincent snapped the mammoth mammal tensing its rippling muscles and pulling itself to its full 2m height in Margaret River’s Boodjidup Creek.

Mr Vincent had been visiting his grandmothe­r when he saw the gargantuan animal on her property at about 11.30am.

“I was walking my dog and we saw this huge roo standing in the water,” he said.

“As I ran around him to take a picture he came closer and that was when I realised he was coming right at me and he was really big – one of the biggest I have ever seen.

“I am pretty confident around animals but the moment when he started to come out of the water my heart definitely jumped and I decided to take a few steps back.”

His Facebook post with his images of the kangaroo’s muscular physique instantly went viral, racking up thousands of shares.
