Ninjas in Australia? Nope, just confused kangaroos. From Sky News:

The confused marsupial smashed its way into Beat Ettlin’s home in the Canberra suburb of Garran.

The 42-year-old told Sky News Online: “I just saw this black thing. I thought it was a lunatic ninja, an intruder. It just fell on top of us on the bed. A couple of seconds later I realised it was a kangaroo.”

As the creature began bouncing on their bed, Mr Ettlin’s wife Verity tried to protect their nine-year-old daughter Beatrix who was also sleeping in their bed.

The kangaroo left a trail of blood through the house and claw gouges in the wooden frame of the bed.

Mr Ettlin believes it was attracted by light on the bedroom window and cut itself on broken glass when it smashed its way through.

Verity said her Swiss-born husband is a hero: “I don’t know many Australian men who would do the same thing. We all know kangaroos are very dangerous. But Beat knew there was a real threat to his son, his male instinct was to protect his family.”
