Here down under kangaroos are no better. I chased one along the
side of the road for over a kilometer, with it crossing sides in
front of me each time I tried to "overtake". _Eventually_ it
remembered that it could jump over the fences on either side of the
road and bounded over one.

With 'roos I think the consesus is that they're just plain stupid.
But lighter than a deer at least.

Back to computers, I heard that kangaroos were befuddling
animal-detection software for self-driving cars during testing.
Each time one jumped the software thought it had suddenly gone
further away then gotten closer again.

Here it is:

Oh boy, looks like they still haven't figured out how to handle
them:
