A man from Canberra has had to have eye surgery after being attacked by a seemingly deceased kangaroo that he checked on after seeing the animal on the side of the road on Sept. 11, Canberra Times reported.

Billy Willox was on his way to work when he saw something move on the side of Googong road just southeast of Canberra. When he pulled over to check, he was a kangaroo lying on the ground.
