Propleopus is an extinct genus of marsupials. Three species are known, P. chillagoensis from the Plio-Pleistocene, P. oscillans, and P. wellingtonensis[1] from the Pleistocene. In contrast to most other kangaroos, and similar to its small extant relative, the musky rat-kangaroo, it was probably omnivorous.
