Quinkana fortirostrum – Megafauna Reptile

New 3D Sculpt of a Quinkana Megafauna Reptile

This apex predator along with the largest megalania was one of the largest Australian Megafauna predators. North Queensland was home to a diverse range of megafauna, including giant kangaroos, giant wombats, and large marsupial predators.

Some of these animals were so large that they were among the largest mammals ever to have lived on earth.

Despite their size and impressive adaptions many of these animals became extinct about 40,000 years ago. Today, their fossils and remains provide valuable information about the prehistoric environment and the evolution of Australian unique fauna. This terrestrial crocodile was discovered in the Chillagoe Caves of North Queensland in 1970 by Lindsey Hawkins. Ralph Molnar first described QUINKANA as a genus in 1981.

Interesting Note: The word QUINKAN is a term for “spirit” from Gugu-Yalanji people of North Queensland. Quinkana figures are depicted in rock art in Cape York.
