Last time I was in Australia, we went to a petting zoo that had kangaroos. They were all male, and super docile and chill.
The zoo keeper told us it's because they were all castrated. They even sold souvenirs like bottle openers with the scrotum skin over the handle.
Weird place.
If you have ever seen a absolute unit of a male kangaroo you will know they have a formidable undercarriage . Looks like two pears in a burlap sack. Sadly they have the same shrimp like penis as a dog.
when I was playing golf once there was a huge bull roo on the green right next to the flag. I thought maybe I could play around him but he growled at me like a fucking demon, so I just took the par and moved to the next hole
When overheating, male kangaroos sweat, and will often lick their scrotum. As the moisture evaporates, it draws heat away from the skin and helping to cool the testes.[3]
Title should be ākangaroos keep their testicles cool by licking themā
well, technically they are keeping themselves cool because their balls are part of them. they have other methods for keeping other parts of themselves cool.
also, female kangaroos have 3 vaginas
It isn't the only thing they lick to keep cool, not even the first thing.
They usually lick their **forelegs & arms** first and foremost - just think about it, balls offers very little surface area, while arms have much larger surface area. It is evaporative cooling, so you want the largest surface possible _(and whatever is accessible)_

_I remember reading about it as a kid and I'd often ~~lick~~ spray water on my arms and legs for a noticeable refreshing effect, more impactful and refreshing than in the face_
You've never tongued a kangaroos nuts?...be a lot cooler if you did..
šļø You win this post.
TIL I share a common habit with kangaroos
But it's cool when they do it
Next time I see a Kangaroo: "We're not so different you and I!"
You lick your balls to remain cool. I lick my balls out of desperation. We are not the same.
I feel like this could be turned into haiku.
For coolness you lick But lonliness beguiles me Worlds apart we are
What a strange and dangerous fetish, ever been kicked? Do they hold still?
You lick a kangroo's balls to keep cool, too?
You must have more cool friends than anyone!
Correction: TIL kangaroos ARE cool because they lick their balls
"sure wish I could do that"......." You can try, but he might bite ya".
Or, "maybe you should pet him first."
āHere, like this, you have to let him sniff you first. *See?*ā
TIL female kangaroos die from overheating...
Theyāre the ones licking the balls

I think one of his guests gave Craig Ferguson a pair of kangaroo balls
I'm throwing out my a.c. and getting a kangaroo next summer
Why wait? Get it now and have the bonding done with come warm weather.
They lick their balls not yours

If they stand up your proper fucked.
You know who ELSE has the same shrimp like penis as a dog?
A wolf?
Why does that make you sad...
That's between me and the kangaroo
Reminds me of an old joke: Q: Why do dogs lick their balls? A: Because they can.
Why do kangaroos lick their balls? āCause itās hot
Wait you guys donāt do this too?
Whoa another kangaroo? Sup mate!
This works for humans as well.
It always made me feel pretty cool when I did it (mine, not theirs, ewww)!
I have to convince my wife to lick my balls in the summer then.
Kinda makes me forget about how hot i am....
That makes me hot, not cool
Same

Same.
Same
I would if I could but I canāt so I wonātā¦
So kangaroo ladies are hot?
Admit it--you probably would too if you could reach them. /s (Dives for cover)
Samesies
OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY
This was a question at my local brewery for trivia night a few weeks ago. They said the answer was ālick their armsā. I demand a redo
This is true. They lick their wrists because their blood vessels are very close to the skin, and it cools the blood down as it flows through.
All the cool kids are doing it
like sunglasses cool?
I can relate.
It cools me down too but that's not why I do it.....
Same.
sounds like a malicious rumour that a wombat would spread
It cools their testicles not the entire kangaroo.
Same.
Im not alone?
That's why Australia made them their national animal.
I too lick my balls because Iām hot

So Iāll be cool if I lick kangaroo balls?
Hey, I would if I could. Actually, I may even want to lick my own balls, too.
If licking your balls is cool, consider me Miles Davis
Don't we all?
Just like humans!
Me too!
Fun fact: The CDC records indicate that the first occurrence of Ligma in humans was a result of cross-species transmission.
Is that "temperature cool" or "Chester cheetah cool"?
Very cool š
So the females are hot?
My dog is cool with that too.
Thatās cool. I do the same thing
TIL I have something in common with kangaroos
