Nototherium
Nototherium, from Ancient Greek νότος, meaning "south", and θηρίον, meaning "beast", is an extinct genus of diprotodontid marsupial from Australia and New Guinea. This marsupial had hypsodont molars and weighed around 500 kg. It was a relative of the larger Diprotodon and a distant kin to modern wombats.
