Procoptodon[1] is 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).[2] They weighed about 200–240 kg (440–530 lb).[2][3][4] Other members of the genus are smaller, however; Procoptodon gilli is the smallest of all of the sthenurine kangaroos, standing approximately 1 m (3 ft 3 in) tall.
