    As i know they attack people with no reason. And they don't behave smart while in danger.

    I would imagine they are intellegent... there aren't many if any stupid animals. I'm sure Minesajackdaniels will set the story straight!

    Coming into this a little late, but nope, they ain't. I work with a wildlife carer who laments how dim they can be. I've had a large male eastern grey do a quick sprint to keep pace with my car once - I was doing 80kms and as soon as I spotted him I slowed right down, which was lucky because that meant I was doing 30k and could break when he proceeded to change direction and hop right in front of the car.

    *waits for the urban legend involving the stunned 'roo legging it with a load of people's belongings to surface"
