Wedge-Tailed Eagle Attacks Kangaroo in Sleaford, South Australia

A kangaroo had a lucky escape from a wedge-tailed eagle on a farm in Sleaford, South Australia.

Wildlife watcher Marianne Stockham captured footage of the eagle swooping towards the eastern grey kangaroo before the roo began to fight back, chasing away its attacker.

Speaking to 9 News Adelaide on March 5, Stockham said, “I couldn’t believe that the wedge-tailed eagle was trying to catch such a large kangaroo.” Credit: Marianne Stockham via Storyful
