Phascolonus (Ramsayia Sedophascolomys) – Large Megafauna wombat
This is a reproduction of the extinct Phascolonus Wombat (pronounced Fas-co-lo-nus) that walked the lands of Australia many years ago. It was the largest and most unusual of several large extinct wombats that inhabited Australia during the Pleistocene era.
These animals resembled wombats but would have been the size of bears or big pigs. Unlike Diprotodon, they belong to the same family as modern wombats, so in many respects they were like scaled-up versions of today’s common wombat. They had powerful ever-growing incisors for gnawing tough plant material and a barrel-shaped body. However, due to their size, they likely could not burrow like modern wombats – a 200 kg wombat would have trouble digging tunnels. Instead, they probably lived above ground in open forests or scrub, grazing or rooting for food. Their extinction by 40,000–50,000 years ago might have left a gap later filled by smaller wombats and other herbivoures.
Great reproduction for the collector of natural history. This Giant Wombat Sculpture can be made from fibreglass or reinforced cement for an extra heavy duty play piece for small children.
