the australian wildlife

i was once bitten by a dog, but that's fairly common. once, i had several turkey vultures swoop way too low to my head walking home from the bus stop. am i prone to being attacked my otherwise harmless animals? maybe so, because for my 23rd, my mom took me to see the currumbin wildlife reserve. happy birthday melise, you're getting attacked by a kangaroo.

what seems here to be a friendly and yes, i know, miniature kangaroo turned out to be nothing but the opposite.



because here is where the monster jumped up on me, started biting my hands, and continued to chase me around the park.



there aren't any pictures of the chase because i'm sure everyone was panicking as much as i was, and personally, photo-ops were the last thing on my mind. guess what i had for dinner that night?
