Day 29: Zygomaturus trilobus
This diprotodontid was one of the world’s largest marsupials and is known for having a tall, raised nose and possibly semi-aquatic habits.

Coming from the land down under with a few Aussie favorites, along with a Diprotodon revamp (and new skin!)
It was on this day, in a letter addressed from (soon to be Sir) Richard Owen to (soon to be Sir) Thomas Mitchell in 1838, that the name 'Diprotodon' was first proposed for the BIGGEST marsupial ever DISCOVERED on the PLANET!
It's thread time:
This happy Pleistocene pair are available as tshirts, stickers etc. and are featured on my map of the Prehistoric Continent of Sahul. Link in bio.

Warm up this winter with a comfy all-over print sweatshirt featuring Ice Age mammals like the #WoolyMammoth, #Smilodon, #Diprotodon, #Macrauchenia, #Thylacoleo, #Sivatherium and #Glyptodon

Quick sketches some late Pleistocene Australian extinct megafauna in preparation for a commission. These were some huge marsupials! Protemnodon, Procoptodon, Diprotodon (with scarce fur), Zygomaturus and Palorchestes.

The booming cry of the #Bunyip is heard around swamps, billabongs & creeks in #Australia - Rarely seen, this shy water dweller is usually benevolent! Could it be a descendent of #Diprotodon the largest #marsupial ever to have existed?

Wombats even got a megafauna brother! The Diprotodon, a big motherfucker. He’s also a criptid, the Bunyip. Bunyips are a creature from aboriginal mythology (tho the name can vary between mobs), that hangout in billabongs, creeks and other watering holes.
I'm talking Diprotodons, world's greatest (and largest)-ever marsupial this Sunday on Channel 11's @ScopeTV11 #Megafauna #FossilFriday #IceAge @UQ_News @UQscience @UQ_sees
I haven't been drawing much recently so here's a Diprotodon skull https://t.co/9T0mzkhAmP
