Simosthenurus occidentalis
Simosthenurus occidentalis is a species of short-faced kangaroo of subfamily Sthenurinae. This kangaroo lived in from the Pliocene until the end of the Pleistocene, becoming extinct around 42,000 years ago.
Like many other Plio-Pleistocene sthenurines, S. occidentalis had a large, short-snouted head and long, slender arms, adapted for reaching, grasping and eating foliage of trees and bushes. This species lived across southern Australia, from the far southwest through to Tasmania.
