The lost koala: new fossil species was hiding in plain sight for 100 years
An extinct koala species has been discovered in Western Australia. Climate change 28,000 years ago erased its habitat.

In 2024, the Western Australian Museum received a donation. It was a koala skull collected from Moondyne Cave in Margaret River by Lindsay Hatcher, an avid caver. There was something a bit odd about this skull, and we were able to put our finger in it.
This koala had dimples.
