LOST KINGDOMS: Series C
	#17 -Name: GIANT WOMBAT -Scientific name: Phascolonus -Period: Late Pleistocene (1 million- 10,000 years ago) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Giant Wombat was a distant relative of today's wombats. Although it stood only 1m at the shoulder, its huge head was 40cm long - almost the size of a cow's skull. Its short legs were very stocky and powerful, which probably made the animal a strong digger. The Giant Wombat had large incisor teeth which it may have used to dig in mud for roots, or rip bark from trees and shrubs.		Animal type: Mammal (Mouseover for animal size)
