Pete Metcalf:
The Marsupial Tribe was a ToTRM cartoon which showed the warrior in
the pouch of the said Kangaroo. Furthermore to lope is to run with
long easy strides which 'roos do not.
I remember that cartoon, but also remember reading about a marsupial tribe in a cultural exchange, Q&A transcript or similar. I thought loping involved a substantial amount of bounding - this, combined with the cartoon and reference, led to my (mis-)classification.
If the lopers are not this marsupial tribe then what are they?
Does this marsupial tribe exist?
Given the existence of long-nose, plains elk and nose horns herds in The
Wastes, has a physical description of them ever been published?
I looked in my 'Bumper book of prehistoric mammals' and my suggested
claw-footer is a colicothereium.
