Diprotodon
Diprotodon, meaning "two forward teeth", is the largest known marsupial ever to have lived. Along with many other members of a group of unusual species collectively called the "Australian megafauna", it existed from approximately 1.6 million years ago until extinction some 46,000 years ago (through most of the Pleistocene epoch).
Diprotodon species fossils have been found in sites across mainland Australia, including complete skulls and skeletons, as well as hair and foot impressions. Female skeletons have been found with babies located where the mother's pouch would have been. The largest specimens were hippopotamus-sized: about 3 metres (9.8 ft) from nose to tail, standing 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall at the shoulder and weighing about 2,790 kilograms (6,150 lb).Aboriginal rock art images in Quinkan traditional country (Queensland, Australia) have been claimed to depict diprotodonts. They inhabited open forest, woodlands, and grasslands, possibly staying close to water, and eating leaves, shrubs, and some grasses.

Too Proud
by: NoaToo proud to admit that love is gone
Too proud to admit the falling from Eden
Too proud to admit, and much too strong
The landing was rough,
And the seat belt unfastened
Now it's gone away
(And you gotta let go)
Now it's gone away
(There's nothing to fear)
Now it's gone away
(And you gotta let go)
It's gone away
Concentrate, concentrate
Reinstate your former state of mind
Concentrate, concentrate
Reinvent yourself with space and time
Your name is kin to the winds, sister
You're kin to the winds, sister
But you've an alabaster frame
And you're too proud to admit that love is gone
Too proud to admit the falling from Eden
Too proud to admit, and much too strong
The landing was rough,
And the seat belt unfastened
Now it's gone away
(And you gotta let go)
Now it's gone away
(There's nothing to fear)
Now it's gone away
(And you gotta let go)
It's gone away
Concentrate, concentrate
Reinstate your former state of mind
Concentrate, concentrate
Reinvent yourself with space and time
Your name is kin to the stars, sister
You're kin to the stars, sister
But now your perfect body's maimed
Still you're too proud to admit that love is gone
