Diprotodon

Diprotodon, meaning "two forward teeth", sometimes known as the Giant Wombat or the Rhinoceros Wombat, was the largest known marsupial that ever lived. Along with many other members of a group of unusual species collectively called the "Australian megafauna", it existed from approximately 1.6 million years ago until about 40,000 years ago (through most of the Pleistocene epoch).

 

The skull of a Diprotodon, clearly showing the large front teeth for which the genus is named and the dentition adapted for browsing.
