There is a great deal of difference between the giant short-faced kangaroo and the kangaroo we now know today. Most obviously, the giant-faced kangaroo was a single species that became extinct thousands of years ago. Modern kangaroos are divided into between 60 and 70 species. Recent research from Adelaide University has determined that there is no genetic link between these marsupials and the modern kangaroo. Their DNA is very different.
