The "Demon Duck of Doom"

I couldn't resist that headline.

Scientists at the University of New South Wales report they have found fossils of new and bizarre creatures, including a saber-toothed carnivorous kangaroo and the colorfully nicknamed "demon duck of doom," a bird standing three meters high and weighing 200 kg. The kangaroo's enlarged killing teeth, by the way, projected from the lower jaw, not the upper as in saber-toothed cats, creating a truly bizarre appearance.

COMMENT: A saber-toothed kangaroo that gallops instead of hops reminds one of Robin Williams' line, "Does God get stoned? I think so. Look at the platypus."
