One of the most infamous megafauna was Megalania, an enormous monitor lizard that could have rivaled the modern saltwater crocodile in terms of size and power, potentially reaching lengths of up to 7 m. Its hunting technique likely involved ambushing prey, using its sharp teeth to incapacitate larger animals. Though contemporary fears may have exaggerated its threat to humans, stories of Megalania persisted in Aboriginal myths, blurring the line between reality and folklore.
