The extinct 'Procoptodon goliah' which roamed around Australia 45,000 years ago, stood tall at 6’5, weighed over 500lbs, had the face of a koala and the body of a sturdy kangaroo. And apparently it was delicious.
Scientists think they have discovered the reason behind the demise of the
prehistoric Australian marsupial Procoptodon goliah – better known as the giant,
short-snouted kangaroo. They say it was not climate change, as has always been
assumed, but hungry Ice Age hunters.
The animal – about three times bigger than a modern-day kangaroo and
with slightly different features - was one of many Ice-Age megafauna whose
demise has long been debated among experts, but usually put down to the changing
environment.
