Abstract
The kadimakara, or animals of the Dreamtime, should be familiar to many readers of Cryptozoology. Heuvelmans, in his 1958 book On the Track of Unknown Animals and subsequently (1986, Annotated Checklist of Apparently Unknown Animals with which Cryptozoology is Concerned, Cryptozoology, Vol. 5: 1-26) has discussed the large, Pleistocene marsupials frequently implied by this Aboriginal term. In the broader sense, however, the kadimakara include, in addition to Diprotodon and other great pouched mammals, all of the extinct (or presumed extinct) vertebrates of the Australian continent.
