The internet is home to a lot of strange videos – but a recent clip, in particular, has left Twitter thoroughly shaken.
A TikTok video from animal vlogger Alexandra Kalin has revealed what the inside of a real-life kangaroo pouch looks like – and it’s not the cosy compartment that everybody expected.
In the TikTok – which has now been liked over 907,000 times with more than 3,000 comments – someone can be seen going up to a kangaroo and opening its pouch.
But rather than a simple furry pocket which holds a baby marsupial, the video shows the kangaroo to have a hairless hole in its flesh, lined with sweat glands.
The clip was also shared on Twitter, where it’s now received more than 423,000 likes and over 119,000 retweets – with many users sharing their shock over the discovery.
One Twitter caption reads: ‘I THOUGHT KANGEROOS [sic] HAD A POUCH NOT A GAPING HOLE IN THEIR FLESH???????’
Someone else tweeted: ‘Just saw what a kangaroo’s pouch looks like and I’m permanently scarred.’
Another added: ‘This will change your perspective on kangaroos if you didn’t know this already.’
While another user wrote: ‘I could’ve gone my whole life without knowing this, and I would’ve been fine.’
Another simply said: ‘Kinda feel sick after seeing the insides ngl.’
But it seems kangaroos are not the animals to have caught the attention of people in lockdown.
An adorable dog from Leeds has stolen hearts with its tongue that’s permanently stuck out, along with a cat who sticks his tongue out for photos.
Likewise, a clever stray cat took a woman into a grocery store to point out the food he wanted to eat – resulting in the kind customer adopting him.
