This is the most mismatched national treasure in the world. Even if the photos are pasted on the national emblem, they still can't escape the fate of being served on the table.
Australia's kangaroo
Kangaroos are a marsupial of the order Kangaroos and are widely distributed in parts of Australia and Papua New Guinea.
The name kangaroo is actually translated from English, australian natives just came here when they saw this strange creature, they went to ask the Australian aboriginal name of this animal, the Australian aboriginal answer is "do not know".

Due to the language barrier, Australians mistakenly think that the name of the kangaroo is "don't know" (gangurru), which has been passed down to this day, which shows how tragic the fate of kangaroos in Australia is.
Kangaroos were cute when they were young, stupid and cute, and many people abroad took kangaroos as pets. When kangaroos are frightened as children, they will drill into their mother's nursery bag. To change to you to raise, is to drill into your arms, soft and cute. It's okay to hold it, take it out and walk it, jump and jump, move faster than you.

But kangaroos cannot be raised on the earth. Wallabies mature at about three or four years of age. This animal has a tradition within the population that the wallaby will challenge its father when it is an adult, and only by defeating the father does it symbolize that it has reached adulthood and can survive independently.
Kangaroos have not been domesticated by humans so far, so this custom has naturally been preserved. As for what this challenge is like, just look at the picture of these foreign guys being beaten by kangaroos.

A muscular wallaby, 1 meter 5 tall and weighing about 100 pounds. With the tail supporting the body, those two big long legs are one foot against you. These two small fists are not vegetarians, and according to your bang, they are two punches. Changing into a well-developed, 1 meter 9 large one, it is difficult for Tyson to bear another punch.
Kangaroos in Australia
The cart in front of us was not full of beef and mutton, but kangaroos that Australian hunters had just hunted. Australia has a population of 25.7 million, while there are more than 50 million kangaroos. If kangaroos invaded en masse, every Australian would have to deal with two muscular wallabies.

Thinking about it, we understand why Australians want to destroy national treasures in a big way.
After catching a kangaroo, these hunters perform simple handling. Because kangaroos have large and hard tails, they remove their heads and tails first. Adult male kangaroos are caught, and female kangaroos and wallabies are left behind. The australians' purpose is not only to make money, but also to limit the number of kangaroos.
Kangaroo meat is sorted after it is sent to the factory. The pectoral muscles are definitely the best part, half of which is made into steaks or canned, and after vacuuming, some of them are distributed domestically, and the other is exported overseas. It usually appears in imported food stores in the United States, or in broiler shops.
Kangaroo meat
However, local Kangaroo meat in Australia sells cheaper than beef, and people rarely eat it. Because kangaroos like to exercise, the meat is basically red meat. The taste is between beef and chicken, and there is no oil. So this kangaroo meat is more used as dog food and cat food.
As early as the 1960s, Australian kangaroo meat was sold to more than 60 countries. Half a century later, the mainland is still not interested in Australian kangaroo meat, and every application is rejected. Quarantine certificate, health certificate, do you carry germs? Do you do nucleic acids? You'll have to find out.
Hunt kangaroos
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is not delicious, after the introduction, it is sold cheaply and loses money, and it is expensive and no one buys it. If it's delicious, it won't flood Australia, won't it?
Why is it flooding?
In fact, a long time ago, Australian kangaroos did not dare to be so arrogant. At that time, there were thylacines in front and there were marsupials in the back, and the rats were not at all uncomfortable.
But ever since the British colonists came to this continent, because of the farmer attributes flowing in their blood, they began to raise cattle and sheep as soon as they came here.
After raising it for a while, I found that something was wrong. When I first came, there were 10,000 sheep on a farm, and I didn't see many in a year, but I still had a thousand less.

At first they didn't take it seriously, thinking that the fence was not built, and the lamb slipped through the gap. But in two years, it was not right, 10,000 sheep were raised for 5 years, and there were less than 400 left on the farm.
These people initially set their sights on the thylacine and the thylacine, believing that they had taken the sheep away. Australians began hunting thylacines and thylacines. When the thylacine and the thylacine were also extinct, the sheep were still lost. People then learned that it was the Wild Dogs of Australia who had taken all the sheep captive.
But at this time, Australia was already considered to be "belly and back". In addition to dealing with the flooding of wild dogs, it is also necessary to deal with the flood of kangaroos.
Before there were thylacines and thylacines to curb the number of kangaroos, and then these two big brothers were gone, and the little wild dogs were not as tall as the kangaroos' calves. Losing their predators, kangaroos began to be unscrupulous.
Kangaroos have two uteruses and are in estrus for 360 days a year. The wallaby is still nursing, and the wallaby is almost born. And kangaroos also have an emergency shelter. If they happen to encounter predators during childbirth, they will first hold the fetus and wait until it is safe to regenerate.

In short, on the one hand, the natural enemies were eliminated by the "well-meaning" Australians, on the other hand, the physical quality of the kangaroos was really OK, and the loss of natural enemies naturally began to flood in large numbers.
To this day, Australia struggles all day to deal with these kangaroos. But even hunting is prescribed. Either way, the focus is on rapid death, and these national treasures cannot be made miserable. Because of this, Australia has even spawned professional "kangaroo hunters".
