the Diprotodon is on loan from the Australian Museum and was discovered by
land owners in Tambar Springs in the North West Slopes of New South Wales.
He is a rare find because his upper and lower jaws are still in place and his
neck vertebrae still attached. Based on the size of the bones, he's believed to
be a young animal. The extinct Diprotodon, which looked like a giant wombat,
is the largest known marsupial to have ever lived. It measured up to three
metres long and two metres tall with a weight of two to three tonnes. Its
closest living relatives are koalas and wombats.
