“Tell me you’re an American in Australia without telling me you’re an American in Australia,” wrote Kelley O’Hara in a popular video showcasing her reaction to seeing a wild kangaroo. The video shows a kangaroo crossing the road in front of a moving vehicle. The women in the vehicle stop and marvel at the beautiful creature until it happily hops away into the bush.

“Apparently kangaroos in Australia are like deer in America so sorry if this was an overreaction,” wrote O’Hara in her Instagram caption sharing the footage.
No one blames her, though—even the Aussies in the comments.
