Description:
Scientists have pin-pointed when a giant prehistoric wombat-like marsupial roamed Australia, thousands of years ago. The now extinct diprotodon is believed to be the largest marsupial that ever lived, and this fossil is the only one to have ever been discovered in the Northern Territory. It is a discovery that could lead scientists to new revelations about Australia’s history and why diprotodons became extinct.
