Many years ago, the continent of Australia was used to banish criminal types from Europe.
Having studied White tail deer for the last 45 years, I have concluded that Australian kangaroos are actually an offshoot of the banished White Tail deer.
After years of eating high-protein food and avoiding all the dangerous indigenous local predators.
The once-shy whitetails have morphed into the modern muscle-bound Kangaroo!
Who Knew?
The bottom line is, don't mess with an Australian Whitetail/kangaroo; you will get your butt kicked soundly!

I would not mess with white tail deer or kangaroos.

These are wild animals and might hurt me out of fear no matter how tame they seems\.

That is fuuny the kangaroo does resemble a deer on steroids.

I want to know what crime a deer could commit that would get him sent to prison.
Or her. That kangaroo has no antlers, Maybe SHE is all buff now!

Perhaps garden or fruit tree raiding, or maybe they were caught playing chicken with fast-moving Subarus...

Those seem not prison worthy... unless they were doing it in gangs with nefarious intent. Raiding the local orchard, stripping all the fruit off trees and taking it all to sell on the black market. And those Subarus were being intimidated into stopping, then carjacked and also sold on the black market.
The one you have pics of there was the mastermind behind it all. The rest were just following the herd.

My next question though, is what were deer going to buy with all that cash?!  
That gets VERY iffy....
A yacht maybe? I hear they don't make good sailors, tend to bound over the edge when startled.
A hunting preserve they could live in safely if they owned it? That one I can see happening.

Anyone who thinks deer are light-weight, defenseless herbivores, haven't met the one that stomped a local dog to death. If a human did that without cause, they could certainly land in jail!

The local people who try to tell me that "the deer are so cute and tame" drive me up the wall and make my job more dangerous. If they are where I need to be, I always clap and tell them loudly to, "move along - my space now".  

Don't let those cute, innocent eyes fool you!

Hadn't noticed the deer/'roo "connection"   But some of the 'roos have become quite cultured:

Just the other day there was one outside the lounge room window doing just this.   Most impressive.   We were unable to guess just what was being played.
