Buff kangaroo probably has a very particular set of skills, and will find you

Big guy.

Dang, this is one buff kangaroo.

Jackson Vincent discovered this kangaroo hanging out in a creek while he was walking his dog near Margaret River, located in the south-west of Western Australia, according to ABC News.

"He sort of just looked over at us and I started taking photos, and the dog started barking, and then he started coming out of the water and then we realised how big he was," he told the news outlet.

Yep, you probably don't want to cross this guy.

While not ordinarily known for their swimming abilities, kangaroos are known to take a dip when the heat gets a bit too much. But in this case, the kangaroo hopped into the water in response to the dog, which it saw as a threat.

You also might also remember Roger, the other buff kangaroo who likes to crush buckets. Nature is great.
