Giant Kangaroos Not Wiped Out By Climate Change
CLIMATE change is not behind the demise of the Procoptodon goliah, the giant kanagroo.No, it turns out that it was the big roo’s enmies what done for it:
It stood tall at 6’5, weighed over 500lbs, had the face of a koala and the body of a sturdy kangaroo. And apparently it was delicious.
Scientists think they have discovered the reason behind the demise of the prehistoric Australian marsupial Procoptodon goliah – better known as the giant, short-snouted kangaroo. They say it was not climate change, as has always been assumed, but hungry Ice Age hunters.
That’s the thing with the media and bad science- climate change is always assumed…

So how come the wichety grub isn’t extinct then. They get though hundreds of them during the course of any wildlife programme about Oz, or I’m a Sleb bust tucker trials. They must be tottering on the brink of extinction by now.
