This video of a wild kangaroo, caught unawares on film, swimming in the ocean off the coast of Queensland, Australia, may just be one of the funniest things you’ll see all day! While it’s well known that kangaroos can make fearsome boxers—and, of course, their pogo-stick prowess when it comes to hopping is well documented—who knew that they also enjoyed cooling off in the water when the mercury climbs into the upper digits? Kangaroos—they’re just like us! What makes this video even more endearing is the way this kangaroo hops ever-so-casually out of the water once his dip is finished, completely oblivious to anyone around him, or to those of us watching with envy (because an ocean dip sounds pretty awesome right about now!) around the world on our computers and smart phones. In a world filled with hilarious videos of dogs, cats, horses, and even chickens doing sweet, wacky, and adorable things, kangaroo videos are pretty rare, which makes this one a definite keeper. Actually, now that we’re thinking about it, this may be the very first meme-worthy video of a kangaroo that we’ve ever seen! That being the case, we recommend bookmarking this page so you can visit it over and over whenever you need a break in your day, a hearty good laugh—or just for those moments, when you’re toiling in the office, imagining how nice it would be to loll on a beach instead, and are looking for someone to live vicariously through. We know that the next time we’re stuck at home in the middle of a snowstorm on a cold winter’s day, wishing we could feel the warmth of the sunshine on our face and the sand between our toes while we inhale the salty sweet smell of the ocean, we’ll think with envy of this intrepid marsupial, beaching it up like a boss and living a life we can only dream of. If you know anyone who loves kangaroos (and that probably applies to most of us—even if we don’t know it until we see adorable videos like this one!), we definitely recommend that you forward this along without losing another second. That is, if you can stop watching it long enough to hit the “share” button! Which is probably easier said than done.
