Nimbadon lavarackorum

Nimbadon lavarackorum is described as being sheep-like. It is known from as many as 24 well-articulated specimens. The species was a browser, mainly feeding on stem and leaf litter on the forest floor. The feet and claws were large, being superficially similar to those of the Koala. They retracted their claws when walking.
