A ringside seat at the boxing.

I have posted in the past about kangaroos boxing on the hillside visible from my study window. This morning a pair of them went at it on the lawn much closer.  The clicking of my camera from indoors didn't bother them but this means the images which follow do suffer a tad from being taken through a window and from a relatively dark environment.  Also the movements are very quick leading to some blurring.

Most of the images require little commentary.

First we have the invitation to a stoush (a good Australian term, which I prefer to the West Side Story equivalent 'rumble').

 I think in Rugby Union scrumming terms this would follow the Whistling Willie's command to 'touch'.

 Engage!  This next image hints at the common posture of the head being stretched back, presumably to avoid eye gouging.  While it exposes the neck I have never seen biting involved.

 Airborne!

 Back to the grapple!

 At this point a small dog, inside the house, spotted what was going on and offered an opinion.  It caught their attention.

While working out if a third player (of a different Order) was going to join you might as well rearrange matters in the groin area.  A good scratch is always helpful.

 Nah.  Lets get back into it.

The eventual outcome was that the smaller 'roo broke away (out of my view) and thus the bout counts as a win for the larger one.  Both of them are way smaller than the alpha male in this mob.
