He’s a macho marsupial.

Roger, a giant red kangaroo, has an exercise regimen that rivals Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“His daily exercise regime is sparring his rivals and chasing his human Mum,” Chris Barnes, who manages The Kangaroo Sanctuary Alice Springs where Roger lives, told The Daily Mail Australia. “He also loves crushing metal buckets.”

“Big Red” weighs in at a whopping 192 pounds and stands at 6 feet, 5 inches tall.

Roger has made great strides since he was found on the side of an Australian highway in his dead mother’s pouch back in 2006.

While he can get aggressive, Roger also has his own unique way of being compassionate.

Just last year, he was very excited when Barnes gave him a large stuffed bunny for Easter.

“When I gave it to him, he snatched it off me really quickly and proceeded to attack it, giving it a ‘bear hug,’” he told The Daily Mail.

But don’t mess with his gal pals.

“He will attack anyone or anything that gets too close to him or his women,” Barnes said.
