Why are Kangaroo's so dumb?

[Coldcomfort]

Close call this morning. It was dark o'clock and stupid old skippy ran directly into the front of my car. No damage but it made think that our coat of arms mascots are two of the dumbest creatures on the planet.

Evolution takes millions of years, not a couple of hundred. They haven't evolved to navigate traffic yet.

I disagree, Emu's are the dumbest animals on the planet. Bloody kamikaze feather dusters

More humans on the road nowadays are far more intellectually challenged than any roo.

Yeah I agree with that. My last trip on the Strezlecki track I remember seeing an Emu way out in the field, easily 200 metres away. This emu spots my car, I can see the panic in the way its dancing around, and somehow it manage to end up right in front of me! It has a gazzilion miles of land around it could have gone anywhere to safety. Nope! Right in front of me it went.

But ravens (or crows if you wish) are as smart as anything. They hardly ever get hit by cars while feeding on roadkill. They really do have road smarts.

Ravens and crows are two different species

Yes mate but most people incorrectly call ravens crows. That’s why I said “(or crows if you wish)”.
