The dash cam footage, recorded Monday, shows the driver going over a hill on a road in the Australian Capital Territory just in time to see the kangaroo hop out in front of a car traveling in the opposite direction.

"After leaving the Deep Space Complex at Tidbinbilla, I saw the kangaroo to the front and on the right of me as I came over a small hill. I started to slow just in case he darted out. I managed to stop just in time and avoid hitting Skippy," the filmer wrote.
