I mean, people have kangaroos in zoos and I can see mobs of them every weekend on my walks (or on the road when the idiots go for a wander). Just depends on what you're used it.

Reply to comment by -GuyDudeman- in TIL John Batman was the founder of the town that became Melbourne, Australia. And originally he called it "Batmania". There's even a street named after him: Batman Ave. by idiocrites
Yeah he was a massive piece of shit.

The big thing they did here that helped was bring a floating object. That's extremely important to improve the survival outcomes of everyone involved. People often rush in without anything (understandable) but it's very common for the rescuer to drown.
