In a scene straight out of a kangaroo horror film, a Victorian cyclist anxiously pedalled through a field filled with motionless marsupials - who eyed down the unwelcome visitor until he passed through.

Ben Vezina was having a leisurely ride through Hawkstowe Park of South Morang, 23 kilometres north-east of Melbourne's CBD, when he suddenly found himself surrounded.

'Oh my God,' he whispered. 'Instead of a zombie apocalypse, its a f***ing kangaroo ... I'm going to be honest, I'm a little bit terrified.'

'Sorry guys,' Mr Vezina nervously said, as he cautiously rode through their territory, lit up by an eerily overcast afternoon skyline.

Victoria's fertile landscape is ideal for the eastern grey kangaroo, seen in the video, as they thrive on open sections of grassland - with areas of bush to act as shelter during the daytime.

Despite being a shy and retiring animal with humans, the eastern grey kangaroo is actually incredibly social, and accordingly is almost always found in a large mob.

In a group they are also much more capable of spotting potential predators or threats - whilst also able to enjoy grazing on a variety of types of grass in their big numbers.

Eastern grey's can grow as large as 2.3 metres from head to tail, and weigh up to 95 kilograms, but are not considered to be dangerous to humans, unless provoked or invading on their territory.

Kangaroos have been making recent headlines in Australia, with one trapping a mother and her toddler in their car in Brisbane, another hitch-hiking on a Victorian highway, and 'Roger the red 'roo' exceeding expectations with his impressively burly frame.
