"Unearthing Extinct Giants: New Discoveries in Australia and New Guinea's Fossil Kangaroos"

Paleontologists from Flinders University have identified three new species of giant fossil kangaroos from Australia and New Guinea, shedding light on the diversity of these extinct creatures. The research, based on the analysis of multiple complete fossil kangaroo skeletons, revealed that the extinct genus Protemnodon was more varied in shape, range, and hopping method than previously thought. The study describes the unique characteristics and habitats of these giant kangaroos, providing valuable insights into their adaptations and movements in different environments.
