Male kangaroos will also fight newcomers to the mob.<\/li>\n<li>They fight by standing on their rear legs and attacking with their front legs. A kangaroo can also balance its body on its powerful tail and strike out with its strong rear legs, the claws of which are deadly sharp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.interestingfacts.org\/facts-images\/kangaroo.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"324\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two large kangaroos were filmed brutally battling it out in &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1925,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[539,182,538,234,187,536,537,1658],"class_list":["post-1924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-studentnews-didyouknow-facts-interestingwords-interestingpeople-onthisday-interestingwordsandexpressions","tag-australia","tag-english-book-in-georgia","tag-fight","tag-for-students","tag-interesting-fact","tag-kangaroo","tag-kickboxing","tag-october-2014","cat_35"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1924"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1931,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924\/revisions\/1931"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
