Prehistoric Planet Ice Age: Megalania Hunting Propleopus.
Megalania (Varanus priscus) was a giant, extinct monitor lizard that lived in Australia during the Pleistocene epoch, coexisting with early humans and megafauna. Reaching up to 23 feet (7 meters) long, it was the largest terrestrial lizard known, an apex predator with serrated teeth, powerful limbs, and possibly venomous saliva, preying on large animals like giant marsupials. Its extinction around 50,000 years ago is attributed to climate change, habitat loss, and hunting by humans.
Propleopus was an extinct genus of giant rat-kangaroo from Australia, known as the βgiant rat-kangarooβ or sometimes βcarnivorous kangaroo,β that lived during the Plio-Pleistocene epochs. It was a large, omnivorous marsupial, much bigger than its modern relatives, with teeth suggesting it ate meat, insects, eggs, and vegetation. Its diet included opportunistic scavenging and hunting small vertebrates, and it was a quadrupedal animal that moved by bounding on all four limbs.
