Liekeze's  Prehistoric  World

Procoptodon lived during the Pleistocene epoch or "Ice Ages"(1.8 million - 10,000 years ago), in Australia. During that time, the geography and climate of Australia was very similar to what it is today, with the largest difference being globally low sea levels allowing a land bridge to form between Australia and Tasmania. In this rugged land, Procoptodon would have used its unique arms to reach high above its head, allowing it to eat the tasty leaves that grew on the trees.

Being the second largest mammal living in Australia at the time, you would think that Procoptodon would have no natural predators. Procoptodon was not so lucky. Everywhere it went, the giant kangaroo would have been faced with danger. In the trees Procoptodon called food, there was the wombat relative Thylacoleo (aka, the marsupial lion). In the sink holes that were death traps for many creatures, the large snake Wonambi could have easily finished off anything unfortunate enough to fall in. Most dangerous of all, lurking in the bushes and scrub grass of the open plains, was the giant komodo dragon relative, Megalania. This giant monitor lizard grew up to 18 feet in length and was the top predator on the continent. Procoptodon coexisted with these predators for over a million years, but it could not out hop the new human menace in Australia.
