New information on the immense wombat-like Diprotodon optatum indicates it reached more than two and a half tonnes on average - nearly double some previous estimates.

Imagine these digging burrows in your garden.

Good Ol' BBC. They do some amazing work bringing extinct animals to life.

It's one of my favorite websites. I wish that BBC America's television division would show more than rerun after rerun of their most popular shows.
