When Royal Canberra Golf Club hosted the Women's Australian Open last week (won by Jiyai Shin), the club and tournament organizers certainly weren't planning for the course to be temporarily overrun by a mob of eastern grey kangaroos. These giant marsupials can be as much as seven feet tall and hop as fast as 35 mph — and can stop a golf tournament right in its tracks.

The eastern grey kangaroo is also capable of making WJHG-TV news anchor Meredith TerHaar giggle and collapse uncontrollably, like a gigantic gelatin dessert tumbling down a flight of stairs.

(500 bonus points to meteorologist Jim Loznicka for not taking himself too seriously.)
