If you think this fierce creature doesn't look like any kangaroo you've ever seen, then you're right - it hasn't walked on Australian soil since the passing of the Pleistocene Epoch.
The Procoptodon goliah was the largest-known kangaroo to have inhabited ancient Australia and weighed almost twice as much as the modern-day Red Kangaroo.
You can learn more about this menacing marsupial in the pages of Prehistoric Australia.
However, as a special treat for our online audience, intrepid illustrator Douglas Holgate has produced this full-colour version of the Procoptodon goliah exclusively for this website.
