Giant kangaroos became extinct many thousands of years ago. They were herbivores, as kangaroos are today, roaming the extensive grasslands of Australia and feeding on the grasses there. New evidence suggests that their extinction was caused by severe drought, which killed off the giant kangaroos' food supply.
