Roger, the buff kangaroo, is back causing a stir on social media

Roger doesn’t look like your typical kangaroo with his bulging biceps and extreme muscular built.

The alpha male kangaroo first made headlines last year with a photo on Instagram showing him crushing a metal bucket with his bare paws.

After a little hiatus, Roger is back on social media again, bigger than ever before.

The latest picture features Roger standing on his four paws, showing off his muscles to visitors at The Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs, Australia, which reopened after a summer break, according to their Instagram account.

To stay in form, Roger trains in hand-to-hand combat, which includes a daily exercise regime in kickboxing, Daily Online Mail reports.

“Don’t mess with a “Big Red” [red kangaroo], they’ll disembowel you… or worse,” sanctuary manager Chris ‘Brolga’ Barnes told Daily Mail Australia.

Roger has come a long way. He was a tiny orphan when he was picked up back in 2006 and brought to the sanctuary, Stuff.co.nz reports.

The red kangaroo stands 2.007 metres and weighs about 89 kilograms, which is more than any other kangaroo at the sanctuary.
