Today's Kangaru are gentle herbivores (Photo: dokkyomed) Archaeologists excavating in northern Australia have discovered fossil evidence of several new species, including one "kangaru close Player ".

The team from the University of New South Wales made this discovery on the Riversleigh fossil site in northwest Queensland. The excavation pit here now holds the remains of at least 20 species of creatures that science has never known. Notably, a carnivorous marsupial, lived about 10 to 20 million years ago.

Professor Mike Archer said excavations have revealed "truly extraordinary creatures". He said the killer kangaru are not like their relatives today.

"There are kangaru that eat meat with long fangs, and kangaru grow fast with long front legs, can't dance," he said.

The group also unearthed evidence of a large raptors named "demon ducks". They plan to look more closely at the fossils to see if they can understand more about these species and the effects of climate change on their development.
