这张可爱的照片是他们亲密关系最好的证明。

Roger, an alpha male, was rescued as a baby after his mum was hit by a car in 2006.
罗杰是一只雄性袋鼠，他的母亲死于2006年的一场车祸，那时他还是个袋鼠宝宝。

Concerned he might get lonely, sanctuary staff gave him the toy to play with.

And after initially attacking the stuffed bunny, the pair are now inseparable.
最初拿到填充兔子时，罗杰还曾打它，但现在他们两个已经密不可分。

Chris Barnes, who works at Alice Springs Kangaroo Sanctuary in Australia, where the kangaroo lives, said: "Roger received the bunny from a fan."
克里斯·巴恩斯在罗杰所在的澳大利亚爱丽丝斯普林斯袋鼠保护区工作，他说：“罗杰从一位粉丝那儿得到的这只兔子。”

He added: "I thought Roger would probably like to play with his soft toy.
他补充说：“我当时就觉得罗杰会喜欢上这个毛绒玩具的。”

"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.
“当我递给他的时候，他非常迅速地从我手上把它抢走了，并开始攻击它，给了它一个熊抱，摔它，抱住它，又把它踢开，就好像他在进行自由搏击比赛，他真的很擅长自由搏击。”

"After about 10 minutes of not giving up his bunny, Roger lost interest in it, but when I tried to take it off him he tried to attack me instead, which is a daily ritual.
“跟他的兔子玩了大约10分钟后，他对它失去了兴趣，但当我试图从他手中将兔子拿走时，他反倒想要攻击我，我也习惯了（每天挨他的打）。”

"I rescued Roger as an orphan in 2006 from his dead mum on the highway.

"Baby kangaroos are often found still alive in the pouches of dead kangaroos out on the roadside.
“路边经常能发现死去的袋鼠，她们的口袋里会有仍然活着的袋鼠宝宝。”

"Today he is alpha male at The Kangaroo Sanctuary Alice Springs and will attack anyone or anything that gets too close to him or his women."
“现在，罗杰是爱丽丝斯普林斯保护区的纯爷们，只要有什么人、什么东西敢靠近他或他的女人，他都会毫不手软地反击。”
