Marsupial Hippo

The Marsupial Hippo, also known a Bunyip, inhabits marshlands and swamplands of Northeastern, Eastern, Southeastern, Central, and Southern Australia. Despite its myths, real bunyips are actually herbivores, feeding on grass, leaves, shrubs, roots, tuber, and berries. A reason why people fear bunyip is because these herbivores are aggressive much like African hippopotamuses, which share a similar kind of niche and aggression. Just like hippos, bunyips can swim very well and it resembles a hippo, but with waterproof fur, a pouch, and a more Diprotodon-like head. It is about the size of a sub-adult hippopotamus.
