    'Roger received the bunny from a fan. I thought Roger would probably like to play with his soft toy,' Mr Barnes said.
     
    'When I gave it to him he snatched it off me really quickly and proceeded to attack it, giving it a "bear hug" and wrestling it, even hugging it and kicking out as he would do in kick boxing match, he's an expert kick boxer.'
     
    But Mr Barnes and his team made the mistake of trying to take it away from him.
     
    'After about 10 minutes of not giving up his bunny Roger lost interest in it, but when I tried to take it off him so he tried to attack me instead, which is a daily ritual for us,' he said.

    Mr Barnes rescued Roger in 2006 after finding his mother dead on a highway
     
    Mr Barnes was rescued Roger in 2006 after finding his mother dead on a highway.
     
    'Baby kangaroos are often found still alive in the pouches of dead kangaroos out on the roadside,' he said.
     
    Being an alpha male, Roger is often very protective of the female members of his group.

    '[He] will attack anyone or anything that gets too close to him or his women,' Mr Barnes said.
