研究发现巨型史前袋鼠由于气候变化导致生境范围有限而濒临灭绝。 Study finds giant prehistoric kangaroos faced extinction due to limited habitat ranges as climate changed.

一项新的研究表明,巨型巨型史前袋鼠,如Protemnodon一样,家境狭小,容易灭绝,因为气候变化扰乱了它们稳定的雨林栖息地。 A new study reveals that giant prehistoric kangaroos, like Protemnodon, had small home ranges, making them vulnerable to extinction as climate change disrupted their stable rainforest habitats. 研究人员分析了昆士兰一些地点的化石牙齿,发现这些大型袋鼠依靠丰富的当地食物来源,留在有限的地区。 Researchers analyzed fossil teeth from sites in Queensland, finding that these large kangaroos stayed within limited areas, relying on abundant local food sources. 随着气候更加干燥, 消除了它们潮湿的环境, 这些物种为适应和生存而挣扎。 As the climate became drier, eliminating their lush environments, these species struggled to adapt and survive.
