Procoptodon (SciiFii)

Procoptodon modernus, known as the giant short-faced kangaroo, is a species of sthenurine kangaroo that is native to the woodlands and grasslands of Australia, it once existed during the Pleistocene epoch as an extinct species of Procoptodon and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. The giant short-faced kangaroo is the largest-known kangaroo that ever existed, standing around 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall, 10 feet long, and weighing about 200–240 kg (440–530 lb). The short-faced kangaroos, including the giant short-faced kangaroos, have short faces, hence their names, compared with grazing kangaroos, and are browsers unlike their distant relatives, feeding primarily on leaves and shrubs, but can also feed on bark and fruit at times. Another difference from grazing kangaroos is that the feet of short-faced kangaroos, like the aforementioned giant short-faced kangaroo, have only one toe on each foot ending with a hoof, as opposed to three clawed toes on each foot of grazing kangaroos, and unlike them, the short-faced kangaroos can't hop due their build and size, instead, they walk bipedally in a manner similar to non-avian theropod dinosaurs, only to lay their feet flat-footed when resting, but they aren't defenseless as many people would believe since they have strong kicking power akin to that of an African ostrich, making it a dangerous prey animal if it feels threatened. The conservation status of the giant short-faced kangaroo is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and due to being tolerate to some habitat disturbance compared with most other megafaunal kangaroos other than gray or red kangaroos.
