Deep in the jungles of tropical northern Australia, palaeontologists have discovered the remains of what is said to be the largest kangaroo to walk the Earth. Standing at an incredible 2.5 meters long and weighing about 274 kilograms, massive roe Nearly 16 species of megafauna were discovered in South Walker Creek near McKay. For your information, Scott Hawknall, a member of the Queensland Museum at the University of Melbourne and an honorary faculty member, said his team also saw the remains of a 7-meter-long crocodile in the area. "While the rest of the world includes giant carnivores such as sabre-toothed There were cats, bears and hyena, Australia's predators were mostly giant reptiles, including an extinct m about seven meters long The water crocodile included modern saltwater crocodiles and a land connection. The crocodile habitats, "he says." There were also two giant lizards, including a six-meter-long lizard, called Megalania and one The other giant lizard, which is similar in size to the Komodo dragon.

"He said that large-scale animals died about 40,000 years ago because humans had set foot on the continent. However, he said that there is no evidence of their extinction that humans were at fault However, he said that this could happen due to several reasons including major changes in the climate and environment of the region, increase in fire, decrease in grasslands and loss of freshwater. There was a possibility. "Together, these constant changes were simply too much to cope with Australia's largest animals," he said. The South Walker Creek site was the petting ground for a diverse range of megafauna, including many new species. , Which has not yet been formally described. Dr Hawkbul said, "Megafauna on South Walker Creek is a uniquely tropical, giant reptile carnivore. There were domes of Rari and Mega-Herbivore, which went extinct around 40,000 years ago. "We can't keep humans at this 40,000-year-old crime scene, we have no hard evidence.

In 2008, the first remains of the animals were exposed by the Barda Barn during a cultural heritage evacuation at the South Walker Creek site, which BHP Billiton Mitsui Coal operates. Since 2008 there has been an orderly excavation that includes spectacular Megafauna fossils have been discovered, ranging from fish scales to colossal limb bones. A spokesman for the Barda Barna Adivasi Nigam says. The Board of Directors of the Barna Adivasi Corporation is extremely excited that we have found megafauna within our traditional country. While the people of Barda Barna have a very glorious history, with Ludwig Leichard in 1845 on the banks of Cherwell Creek Came back in earlier matches and discovered that the megafauna within the region enriches our history. We help the Queensland Museum have discovered more and more animals from that time. "
