Huge kangaroo caught taking a bath in an Outbback river

An incredibly muscular wild kangaroo has been spotted taking a dip in a gushing river in Western Australia’s South West region.

The giant boomer was pictured having a splash in the Boodjidup Creek, in Margaret River – about four hours south of Perth. 

With its muscles bulging as it stood in the flowing waist-deep water, the majestic creature offered a puzzled expression to its inquisitive onlookers.

Some speculated the photographer’s pet dog had chased the creature into the river – the kangaroo retreating in the water to protect itself.

It was also suggested bucks used standing in water as a tactic to entice dogs towards them, making it easy for them to plan an attack. 

Others pointed out the strangely human-like features of the monstrous animal.
