A Canberra vet says a kangaroo that attacked and knocked unconscious a man out jogging was probably acting to protect his territory.
A 25-year-old man from Macgregor was running during his lunch break on Thursday at Mt Ainslie when he was attacked by a kangaroo.
Canberra vet Michael Archinald says the case does not surprise him.
"They get very territorial at certain times of the year as well, they're protecting their flock," he said.
"They get very antsy and of course this guy would have been running and that's quite a threatening thing to a roo and the roo is like, fight or flight, so in it goes."
