Many of the bones far exceeded in size any modern-day native mammal, evidence that in prehistoric times giant mammals had roamed the Australian bush. They included a marsupial the size of a buffalo, kangaroos more than two metres tall, wallabies much bigger than any living species, a marsupial 'lion' about the size of a leopard, giant echidnas and wombats, plus the thylacine (Tasmanian tiger). What did these animals look like and how did they live? And how did they become extinct i 606 $aMammals, Fossil$zAustralia$zWestern Australia 606 $aPaleontology$zAustralia$zWestern Australia 607 $aWestern Australia$xHistory 615 0$aMammals, Fossil 615 0$aPaleontology 676 $a560.00 700 $aMcNamara$b Ken$0728920 701 $aMurray$b Peter$g(Peter F.)$032497 712 02$aWestern Australian Museum. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792175603321 996 $aPrehistoric mammals of Western Australia$93722126 997 $aUNINA
