===Diprotodon(5)===
The largest (known) marsupial that ever lived. It resides, along with many other members, in a group of unusual species collectively called the Australian megafauna. They inhabit open forest, woodlands, and grasslands, possibly staying close to water, and eating leaves, shrubs and some grasses. The largest specimens were hippopotamus-sized: about 10 feet long from nose to tail, standing 6 ft 7 tall at the shoulder and weighing up to 6,142 pounds. Diprotodon superficially resembles a rhinoceros without a horn. Its feet turn inwards like a wombat’s, giving it a pigeon-toed appearance. It has strong claws on the front feet and its pouch opening faces backwards. Footprints of its feet have been found showing a covering of hair, which indicates it had a coat similar to a modern wombat. They are browsers on the largest order; treat these animals with respect and caution. They might prove to be a great food source if tamed, but they are also the Pouch lion's favorite prey, making them a hazard to hunt if you are not cautious.
