#27: Mishap With a Kangaroo

Perhaps not a photo with any attachment to a particular historical event, it still offers us a little glimpse into the past, at least from what we can surmise. The world of animal photography has become such a sophisticated art. It’s rare for a cameraman to go up to a kangaroo and ask to take their portrait.

If this were shot today, it would be an instant viral hit, quickly becoming a template for thousands of memes. But since it was shot long ago, it remains an “old photo” of a kangaroo attacking a cameraman, and if you ask me, it’s definitely funny enough on its own.
