Researchers is uncovering the truth behind the largest marsupial ever to walk the earth -- the 2.5 tonne wombat-like Diprotodon. Standing 1.8 meters tall and reaching up to 3.5 meters in length, this huge beast lived more than 100,000 years ago, and despite being one of the most celebrated examples of Australia's Pleistocene "megafauna", there is very little known about them.
