Macropus Gouldi
''Macropus'' is a marsupial genus in the family Macropodidae. It has two extant species of large terrestrial kangaroos. The term is derived from the Ancient Greek μάκρος, ''makros'' "long" and πους, ''pous'' "foot". Thirteen known extinct species are recognised. The type species is the eastern grey kangaroo. Taxonomy In 2019, a reassessment of macropod taxonomy determined that ''Osphranter'' and ''Notamacropus'', formerly considered subgenera, should be moved to the genus level. This change was accepted by the Australian Faunal Directory in 2020.

Miocene
The Miocene ( ) is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma). The Miocene was named by Scottish geologist Charles Lyell; the name comes from the Greek words (', "less") and (', "new") and means "less recent" because it has 18% fewer modern marine invertebrates than the Pliocene has. The Miocene is preceded by the Oligocene and is followed by the Pliocene. As Earth went from the Oligocene through the Miocene and into the Pliocene, the climate slowly cooled towards a series of ice ages. The Miocene boundaries are not marked by a single distinct global event but consist rather of regionally defined boundaries between the warmer Oligocene and the cooler Pliocene Epoch. During the Early Miocene, the Arabian Peninsula collided with Eurasia, severing the connection between the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean, and allowing a faunal interchange to occur between Eurasia and Africa, including the dispersal of proboscideans into Eurasia.

Macropus Mundjabus
''Macropus mundjabus'' is an extinct species of kangaroo found from a single location near Morwell, Victoria. It was first described by Tim Flannery in 1980, using the particular form of the foot bones to suggest that it may have inhabited rocky areas due to similarities with the bone forms of contemporary rock-wallabies. Flannery records the species name In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called nomenclature ("two-name naming system") or binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, bot ... ''mundjabus'' as being derived from 'mundjab', which means 'he has gone' in the local indigenous language. The specific tribal group is not named by Flannery; however, it is likely to be from Gunai.
