Most people use a shopping bag to carry their groceries home from the supermarket.

But this bearded Australian has found a more unconventional use for his canvas shopper - to catch a kangaroo.

The bizarre YouTube video shows the hairy bushman casually walk up to the joey, place a bag over its head, before the animal falls in.

Weird: The man shows how easy it is to catch a kangaroo

Proudly, he then declares: 'And there you have a kangaroo' before strolling off with his catch of the day. 

The footage has become an internet sensation racking up hundreds of thousands of hits.

One commenter on the YouTube site said: 'It's a joey, that's why it still falls into the bag, because of its similar to getting in a pouch.'

While another says: 'He makes it look so easy. It's like he's just selecting food from the supermarket.'

Despite this, it is advised not to try this at home.

Noooooo! There is something not quite right about this?

It's his pet. He would have found it as an orphaned joey and 'trained' it. And joeys sleep in their mothers pouches. Notice that the bag is just the right size. I live on a farm and I don't go near them, especially adult ones. Vicious when they feel threatened.

That gave me a laugh when I really needed one!

"it is advised not to try this at home" Eh HOW ? Not that many Kangaroos local to me.

And the point of this article would be????

All fake! Whatever next? Even I could see the clockwork wind-up key sticking out of the camels back. It was a camel, wasn't it? Joe who?

"And the you have a kangaroo." So now what do you do with it? Can you eat them?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo he's going to eat Skippy!

Poor Skippy.

Is there anyway to get this trick to work on college cheerleaders? (most thumbs up on youtube)
