KEEPING an exotic animal can be fun and games until something goes horribly wrong.
And to this regard, an Australian man has died after being attacked by a kangaroo he had been keeping as a pet.
The 77-year-old man was found with serious injuries on Monday at his home in Redmond, about 400km south of Perth. And when the ambulance crew arrived at the rural property, the kangaroo prevented them from treating the man.

According to BBC, cops were forced to shoot the kangaroo dead so paramedics could reach him.
The country is home to about 50 million kangaroos, which can weigh up to 90kg and grow to 2m tall.
But fatal attacks are reportedly rare; this is the first one reported in Australia since 1936.
