Quoted by LiveScience, a species that has been extinct sthenurine has a size larger than they are now. In fact, the amount of three times the size of the kangaroo still around today.
Research leader, Christine Janis, said that the ancestors of kangaroos have been exploring the Australian outback at 100 thousand to 30 thousand years ago. But they are fairly poor animal jumper.
"Kangaroos looked nothing like the usual modern kangaroos," said Janis, who is also a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.
With a slim body that is efficient to move fast, more like a modern kangaroo cheetah
With a slim body that is efficient to move fast, more like a modern kangaroo cheetah in the big cat family.
Meanwhile, experts Paleontology of the University of New South Wales, Australia, Karen Black said the ancestors of kangaroos not only has a great body, but also a solid bodied with a short snout. They do not have a body configuration that allows for the high jump, such as a flexible spine, long legs proportionate, as well as a large tail.
"On the contrary, ancient kangaroo has a spine more rigid, larger hips, knees bigger, and a small tail," said Black.
Ancient kangaroo posture more upright and useful for walking on two legs like a human.
