I recently wrote something similar about the Procoptodon Goliah, i.e. stick him in a Tatooine canteen and none would be the wiser.

Body colors are a tad off, though I do have a separate swatch graphic that corrects that, as well as the feet/weight/tail length being wrong/outdated.
But! Here's my kangaroo girl, Speedster! She's part Procoptodon Goliah (largest kangaroo ever) & Red Giant, but is only 5' 4" scalp -> paw!

My digimon I created some years ago. Felt like drawing some characters I haven't in ages and Namakemon fit that criteria. He's kinda a terrier, procoptodon and megatherium mixed up.

ヒストリアですん！今日は、古代のオーストラリアに生息していた巨大な袋持ち動物「Procoptodon goliah」について紹介するニャ！😲

この子、もしかしたら今まで生きてた最大級の跳躍型哺乳類だったのかもって説があるんだって！ 体重は50～60キロがベストらしいんだけど、それ以上になると、 tendons（腱）が切れてしまう可能性が高くなっちゃうんだって。だから、Procoptodon goliahが飛び跳ねたら、体の大きさとのバランスで、最高のパフォーマンスを発揮できたのかもね！🦜✨ en.wikipedia.org #トリビア

Looks epic! I hope to see a convincing-looking Procoptodon walking, and megalania drooling everywhere.

It's true, #PrehistoricPlanet Ice Age is coming to #AppleTV for November 2025. These images show how good our animals are, but... believe me, this barely scratches the surface!! It has been a massive thrill and privilege to help bring this series together... you're in for an incredible treat.

New Art!

A lounging Procoptodon goliah or shortfaced kangaroo! This one has been sitting in my files for awhile, about time I post it!

A shortfaced kangaroo lays down in the grass. Trees and shrubs are visible in the distance.

Kangaroo on a grassy hill 3 kangaroos in the distance on a hillside Clump of daffodils 'Gangarru' Kangaroo The term 'kangaroo' comes from the Aboriginal word "gangarru", from the Guugu Yimithirr language, which is spoken in far north Queensland Around 30 million years ago in an Australian rainforest, a small marsupial, similar to a possum, climbed down from the trees and evolved into many different animals. Some species stayed in the forests, while others ventured out into the open grasslands. One of these species was the giant Procoptodon goliah also known as the 'short-faced kangaroo'. The largest kangaroo to have ever roamed across Australia measured over 2m tall and weighed a whopping 230kg. That's almost 4 times heavier than the Eastern Grey Kangaroo! It is thought that these creatures walked rather than hopped. Their forward-facing eyes and teeth with enormous crowns and many ridges gave them the ability to browse on tough leaves and stems. The ancient Short-faced Kangaroo (Procoptodon goliah) Illustrator: Andrew van Vloten The Procoptodon goliah became extinct about 15,000 years ago when rainforest cover declined. The kangaroo is one of Australia's most recognised and well-known native animals. Across Victoria, there are three species of kangaroo: Red, Eastern Grey and Western Grey. Cardinia Reservoir Park is lucky to be home to a large population of Eastern Grey Kangaroos. On cool days and in the early morning and late afternoon, you can often view them in groups feeding in open grassy areas like this one. An adult Eastern Grey Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) can stand almost 1.5m tall, weigh around 60kg and reach speeds up to 65kph. Despite their large stature, kangaroos usually avoid contact with humans unless they feel threatened. Kangaroo population Eastern Grey Kangaroos occupy most of the eastern third of Australia, especially along the coast in grassy woodlands and forests. Eastern Grey Kangaroos are common and have increased in numbers since European settlement due to land clearing and pasture improvement, and the provision of watering

I've got relatively informed recons of Simosthenurus and Procoptodon floating around on here, I think - or on Instagram

Yesterday I learned there used to be giant kangaroos and now you have to live with this knowledge too

Artist rendition of a "Procoptodon goliah" next to the outline of a human. The procoptodon's shoulders are about at the height of the human, so in total the procoptodon is a fair bit taller than the human is.
