The lower incisors, characteristic of diprotodonts, were large and projected forward, while the molars had broad surfaces for grinding. The jaw musculature was well developed, indicating an efficient ability to process fibrous plant material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1772\"\u003eThe tail was thick and muscular, playing an important role in balance and possibly in support during locomotion.
