Simosthenurus

Simosthenurus, also referred to as the short-faced kangaroo, is a genus of megafaunal macropods that existed in Australia, specifically Tasmania, during the Pleistocene. Analysis of Simosthenurus fossils has contributed to the finding that there are three lineages of macropods: Sthenurinae, Macropodinae, and Lagostrophinae.[1] The genus Simosthenurus was among the sthenurines.

The two most documented members of the genus are S. maddocki and S. occidentalis, though other species have also been discovered.
