Many forms are represented only by isolated bone fragments, and comparatively little has been accomplished in the way of functional morphology and detailed description of the extinct beasts. Consequently interpretations are speculative and subject to revision. Observations imply that Australian fauna was (and still is) less able to withstand the im...

... Some of these, such as Macropus giganteus (Grey kangaroos) and Osphranter rufus (Red kangaroos), are megafauna that still survive. But the term is also sometimes applied to smaller-bodied extinct taxa that are still larger than closely-related extant forms (Murray, 1984;Barnosky et al., 2004;Price et al., 2018). Because the ecological and temporal range of taxa that would fall into this category is vast, it is accordingly improbable that a single cause will explain the extinction of them all, although this has been the simplistic presumption in some previous studies (e.g. ...
