This beautiful keyring from Metalmorphose featuring a kangaroo and boxing gloves. The Boxing Kangaroo is an iconic Australian image.
The Boxing Kangaroo originated from the way male kangaroos use their forelimbs to hold opponents while using their powerful hind legs to kick and deliver blows, a behavior that appeared like "boxing". This natural display inspired travelling circus acts and the 1891 cartoon "Jack, the fighting Kangaroo" and was further popularised by animated films and the design of a flag for the 1983 America's Cup yacht race to represent Australia's fighting spirit.
A lovely gift for everyone who loves Australian native animals.
