It weighs sixty-five kilos, is made of cast iron and has a cannonball which turns two sticks of bamboo each passing through a roughly star-shaped kusudama model whose points interrupt Bladerunner-style flares of burning gas, detected by photocells. Clicking involves karate-style moves to the two buttons with considerable force. Moving the capybara at all involves a fair amount of effort.

Yes, it´s a shame they aren´t still around. Glyptodonts had a similarly unfortunate demise (giant armadillos!), and the giant sloth was entertainingly bulletproof.

//wombats as big as cows//

Ahh diprotodon, how I wish you were still around. Was reading up on them a few days ago; apparently more the size of hippos and rhinos than mere cows

And a few twelve foot tall carnivorous kangaroos should spice things up nicely in tourist season
