Giant Kangaroos Were Total Homebodies

Turns out, those extinct giant kangaroos in Australia weren’t the nomads we thought—they basically never left their lush rainforest neighborhoods! Fossil teeth show they stuck close to home, unlike today’s roos that roam for miles. When the climate dried up and their rainforest paradise vanished, these homebody kangaroos just couldn’t adapt or move on, and that’s what did them in. Wild to think being too comfy at home can be a downfall—even for megafauna! #KangarooFacts #PrehistoricLife #Extinction #ScienceNews #Australia #Science
