Pigeon-toed and with a backward-facing pouch large enough to carry an adult humanThat's just so wrong, on so many levels.

Yeah Wombats are marsupials, but I’ve got a family of fat and happy squirrels running around on my roof right now that might give these old boys a run for their money judging by the thunderous patter.

“Megafauna are thought to have evolved to such large sizes to cope with inhospitable climates and food scarcity”
Pot induced thought perhaps....
A species grows to such large sizes because THEY ARE THRIVING!
Since when does “food scarcity” drive growth?
If their screwy theory held, the N. Koreans would be 10 ft. tall, rather than 4’ 9”.

Diprotodon, the largest marsupial ever to roam the earth, weighing up to 2.8 tonnes, lived between 2mn and 50,000 years ago and died out around the time indigenous tribes first appeared.

The mega-wombats appeared to have been trapped in boggy conditions at the site after seeking refuge there from extremely dry conditions during a period of significant climate change in ancient Australia, he added Climate change in ancient times? How... how quaint ;) LOL
