Diprotodon optatum was the largest marsupial that ever lived. It weighed up to 3 tons and stood up to 6 feet tall at the shoulder. It was closely related to wombats and koalas, but was much larger. It was widespread across Australia, and its fossils have been found in all states and territories. It lived alongside a variety of other megafauna, including giant kangaroos, koalas, and crocodiles. Diprotodon went extinct around 46,000 years ago, along with most of the other Australian megafauna.
