    Makes me wonder what the future holds in evolution for jumping mammals then.

    Procoptodon was a genus of giant short-faced kangaroo living in Australia during the Pleistocene epoch. P. goliah, the largest known kangaroo that ever existed, stood approximately 2 m (6.6 ft). They weighed about 230 kg (510 lb)

    It wasn´t even the only one- Sthenurus was another 3 meter kangaroo, and there were also giant versions of today's red and grey roos. :B
