In the early 1900s, cavers in Western Australia found massive bones and unearthed Mammoth Cave, a lost world of giant fossils

Western Australia's Mammoth Cave reveals ancient secrets, including evidence of arboreal kangaroos and long-beaked echidnas, suggesting a past humid climate and rich ecosystem. New research indicates early Australians were not just hunters but possibly the world's first palaeontologists, collecting and valuing fossilized bones, transforming the cave from an 'abattoir' into a source of ancient narratives.
