Discovered the graveyard of the extinct koalas
Australian scientists have just announced the discovery of the largest ever graveyard of extinct koalas in Queensland state (Australia), Australian cosmosmagazine.com online science site.
According to scientists, the discovery of the graveyard is important, which may shed light on why the koalas are extinct.
The koalas , with the scientific name Diprotodon , have a body weight of about 2.8 tons (equivalent to today's rhino), the largest marsupial ever, once wandering on Earth about 50,000 - 2,000,000 years.
They were extinct at the same time as the first primitive human tribe appeared. Scientists think that humans and climate change are the cause of this extinction, extracting information on cosmosmagazine.com.
Koalas once wandered on Earth about 50,000 - 2,000,000 years ago.
The koala cemetery mentioned above contains at least 20 Diprotodon skeletons, including the skeleton of a giant womb named Kenny who had been excavated before, with its long jawbone up to 70cm long. Kenny is one of the most intact preserved bear bear fossils excavated.
'Based on the koalas discovered in the graveyard, we will reconstruct their habitat model and, more importantly, find out what caused the change in the ecosystem where they live.' Mr. Scott Hocknull, the leader of the excavation of koalas graveyards, worked at the Queensland Museum.
