Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Map of the Greater Australian continent. Map includes an outline of the larger land mass know as “Sahul” or “Meganesia” that forms when the continental shelf (dark grey) is exposed during glaciation. Overlaid is the modern distribution of the three recognized species of Zaglossus: Zaglossus bartoni (red), Zaglossus bruijnii (yellow), and Zaglossus attenboroughi (blue diamond), with the Kimberley record of Zaglossus bruijnii highlighted by a yellow star. Other possible Australian records of Zaglossus cf. bruijnii are numbered by general locality: 1 Pleistocene fossil remains from Naracoorte, South Australia, referred to Zaglossus cf. bruijnii by Murray (1978a) 2 Aboriginal rock art (probably late Pleistocene in age) from Arnhem Land, Northern Territory (see Figure 2) 3 Aboriginal reports of a second, larger echidna taxon, in addition to Tachyglossus, present in the East Kimberley (Kununurra, Western Australia) in recent (20th century) memory (see text).
