Procoptodon pusio – female Australian megafauna Kangaroo
Meet the Giants of the Pleistocene: The Procoptodon pusio, a short-faced kangaroo, roamed Australia until about 20,000 years ago. It was one of four species of giant Pleistocene kangaroos, the largest of which was Procoptodon goliah which grew to almost 3 metres. These giants were part of the diverse megafauna that graced the continent during this era.
