Now that's a disturbing video for wallaby fans. Ouch: what a pesky fox.
Now where's my rifle...

I once saw a bout between a feral cat and a swamp wallaby in bushland near
Freemans Waterhole: one big kitty that growled.  The cat would hurl itself
at the Wallaby and whack its claws in, whereupon the Wallaby would thrash
about against a rock face thus dislodging the cat.  Happened three times
this way: seemed to me a no-win situation.
