RIP Roger: Remembering The Alpha Male Kangaroo & More
Ever wondered what it takes to be the king? For Roger, a red kangaroo in the heart of Australia, it meant possessing a physique that would make even seasoned bodybuilders envious. His reign as the alpha male was not just about brute strength, but a symbol of survival, dominance, and the fascinating social structures of the kangaroo world.
