Researchers from Flinders University have uncovered three new species of giant fossil kangaroo which spread from the deserts of Australia to the jungles of New Guinea.
The largest species, Protemnodon viator, weighed up to 170kg (375 lbs) and would have travelled central Australia on its long limbs.
The fossil record reveals that these closely related species were adapted specially to their unique environments and would have even hopped differently.
