NOT SUBBED Another common sight across southern and central parts of Sahul is the giant short-faced kangaroo. It’s one of the many giant kangaroos but this is one of the largest to ever live at two and a half times as heavy as a red kangaroo. It can prop itself up on its short, thick tail and stand on its tiptoes to pick leaves from tree branches three meters off the ground. But unlike other kangaroos that’ll continue to survive for many thousands of years, its chunky muscular legs and solid build aren’t ideal for hopping.
