Quick Glance: Scientists Identify Three New Species of Ancient Kangaroos
- Scientists have identified three new species of giant kangaroo that lived from 5 million to 40,000 years ago, one of which was over 6.6 feet tall.
- The giant kangaroos from the genus Protemnodon showed more variability in shape, range, and hopping method than previously thought.
- The research is based on the discovery of several complete fossil skeletons in South Australia, allowing a team led by Isaac Kerr to answer longstanding questions about Protemnodon.
- The different species of Protemnodon are now known to have inhabited a broad range of habitats, surviving in diverse environments before becoming extinct around 40,000 years ago on the Australian mainland.
