Moment 'bouncer' kangaroo is spotted standing outside front door of house in Australia

This is the moment a kangaroo was spotted standing outside someone's home in Australia looking like a bouncer.

A TikTok user in New South Wales captured the moment the stocky kangaroo positioned itself outside a front door, resembling a security guard.

The footage was filmed by a woman called Caragh, who posts under the TikTok handle @caragh19 and has more than 10,000 followers.

"Literally reversed back to see this," she wrote.

After a double take, it sounds as though she reversed her car up the street so she could capture the kangaroo on film, zooming in as the animal stands still outside the front door.

She joked: "What it's like living in Australia."

In April, a kangaroo was spotted hopping through the empty streets of Adelaide during the coronavirus lockdown.

South Australia Police captured the footage of the animal taking in the sights of the city's downtown area.

Posting on Twitter, the police force joked that they were "tracking a suspect wearing a grey fur coat" and he was last seen on foot heading into the West Parklands.

Only one vehicle is seen in the footage of the deserted streets and the animal is last seen bouncing away.
