A KANGAROO being punched in the face by a man defending his dog has been caught on camera in a hilarious video crowned "only in Australia".

The man appears to run  up to the kangaroo, which can be seen to be holding his dog in a headlock, before the man bounces on his toes and throws a right-jab at the Aussie icon.

The kangaroo, which is sitting up on its back legs, is left stunned by the apparent punch.

The man, wearing a backwards cap, looks at the animal for a moment before watching it bound away.

The dog that the kangaroo had held in its clutches just moments before can be seen running around in the background.

It is unclear if the video was staged at all, with no information as to where it happened.

But that hasn't stopped the video from going viral, with it viewed more than 4.7million times after being uploaded to social media on Saturday.

Posted on Facebook by Wayne Gerald, the video was captioned: "Man punches kangaroo right in the kisser."

In the video, a man with an Australian accent can be heard narrating what is happening.

At one point, he can be heard saying: "The big buck actually has a hold of the dog, not the other way around."

The dog, Max, can be seen thankfully running away after having been caught by the huge creature.

Kangaroos are known for their fighting abilities, with animals able to punch and kick their targets with a huge amount of force.

It isn't the first time that animal shenanigans have been caught on camera in Australia.

A raunchy pig and a kinky kangaroo were caught in some inter-species love-making in the lonely Australian outback.

An apparent love story was also ruined when it was revealed that a kangaroo appearing to cradle its dead mate was actually just horny.
