On social media, a film shot in Australia has gone viral. It depicts a kangaroo entering a pub and people seeming unconcerned about it.
Kangaroos are endemic to Australia; thus, residents are accustomed to seeing them in public settings. The kangaroo enters the pub in the video and quickly exits.
The video, which was shared on Instagram with the hashtag “Australian. Animals,” has over 85,000 likes and millions of views. “Unexpected guest” is the caption on the video, which is credited to a user named pennywittenbaker.
Social media users were taken aback by the peculiar behavior of those present in the bar. “We love how everyone simply glanced at him and murmured, “hum good,” and then went back to waiting in line,” one Instagram user said.
“It doesn’t appear to be ‘unexpected.'” Everyone simply continued on with their daily routines. It also didn’t raise any eyebrows. A second user commented, “Looks like a regular client.”
The kangaroo is Australia’s national animal. It is a logo for some of Australia’s most well-known enterprises, including Qantas and the Royal Australian Air Force’s roundel, and appears on the country’s coat of arms and coinage.
The kangaroo has a lot of pop-culture allusions since it is so important to Australian culture and the national image.
A white kangaroo was sighted in the Queensland outback earlier this month. A lady from Queensland was taken aback when she saw the beast rushing over a ranch outside of Longreach.
She took images of the kangaroo and put them on the Outback Pioneers’ Facebook page. The photographs became viral in a matter of days.
