10/12/18
Roger, a kangaroo who won global fame for his enormous size and impressive physique, has died at the age of 12.
The roo was rescued as a joey after his mother was killed in a car accident, and grew up at the Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs in Australia.
And he grew up a lot - ending up more than 6ft 7" (2m) tall and weighing 196lbs (89kg).
The sanctuary announced his death from old age at the weekend, saying they had lost their "beautiful boy".
