Simosthenurus

Simosthenurus, also referred to as the short-faced kangaroo, is an extinct genus of megafaunal macropods that existed in Australia, specifically Tasmania, during the Pleistocene. Analysis of Simosthenurus fossils has contributed to the finding that there are three lineages of macropods: Sthenurinae, Macropodinae, and Lagostrophinae.[1] The genus Simosthenurus was among the sthenurines.
The two most documented members of the genus are S. maddocki and S. occidentalis, though other species have also been discovered.
