Kangaroos turn deadly

IT'S an unusual sight - a kangaroo holding a struggling dog under water until it drowns.

Strange ... kangaroos don't usually attack humans
But as Australia lies gripped by the big dry, the nation's proud mascot is turning deadly in the capital.

Killer kangaroos have claimed the lives of two dogs and injured at least one person in Canberra in the past week, as a desperate search for food forces the normally shy marsupials into maddening daylight.

Christine Canham's dog, Summer, was drowned on Saturday by a kangaroo while she was walking her four golden retrievers around Dunlop Ponds in Canberra's northern suburbs.
