Footage has emerged of a kangaroo attempting to break into the Russian embassy in Canberra, Australia.
The long-tailed protester gives the gates a good battering before realising it was far too big to fit through the gaps.
After multiple unsuccessful attempts, it gives up and carries on hopping along the footpath.
The embassy said they had “detected an unauthorized access attempt” but reassured viewers that “no harm was done”.

Many turned to social media to quip that the animal was lashing out at Russia over their barbaric invasion of Ukraine.
Bakhti Nishanov said that at least now we know "where kangaroos stand on the war".

Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin has looked to expand relations with North Korean leader Kim Jong un.
In a letter sent on Pyongyang's liberation day, Mr Putin said the move would be in both countries' interests.
In turn, Mr Kim said friendship between both nations had been forged in World War II with victory over Japan.
He added that their "comradely friendship" would grow stronger.
According to a report by North Korean state media outlet KCNA, Mr Putin said the expanded bilateral relations would "conform with the interests of the two countries".
In his letter, Mr Kim said the Russia-North Korea friendship "forged in the anti-Japanese war" had been "consolidated and developed century after century".
It added "strategic and tactical cooperation, support and solidarity" between the two countries "had been put on a new high stage, in the common front for frustrating the hostile forces' military threat and provocation".
Pyongyang did not identify the hostile forces by name, but the term has been used repeatedly by North Korea to refer to the US and its allies.
North Korea closed its Canberra embassy in 2008, so at least they'll be safe from the kangaroo uprising for now.
