NOVA takes viewers to the stark Australian outback in search of the elusive bones of one of the world's most bizarre prehistoric creatures—a giant predatory marsupial called Thylacoleo. Australia's leading paleontologists endure extreme weather, treacherous drops into a deep cavern, and the threat of fossil poachers as they launch a daring expedition to find the rare megabeast.
During the Ice Age a million or more years ago, Australia was home to a zoo of extraordinary giant animals, including eight-foot-tall kangaroos, wombats the size of hippos, snakes three feet in diameter, and a horned tortoise as big as a Volkswagen. But all these creatures, along with Thylacoleo, eventually died out. What happened to drive so many extraordinary megabeasts into oblivion?
In "Bone Diggers," NOVA digs into the mystery of what finally overwhelmed the giant Ice Age creatures and whether early human hunters were responsible.
