That's just stupid. Anyone who believes we ride Kangaroos is an idiot. They're completely unreliable and the saddles slip off all the time. We've been relying on them for mail delivery for some years now, even if it does leave the packages a tad moist.
I'm surprised the wombat hasn't had more overseas coverage myself. I mean, an animal that's more capable and skilled then your average domesticated canine AND knows how to speak to us through a series of guttural burps? Ph, and people think pigs are smart.
