Meiolania

Meiolania ("Small roamer") is an extinct genus of cryptodire turtle from the
Oligocene to Holocene, with the last relic populations at New Caledonia which
survived until 2000 years ago. It was huge, measuring 2.5 m (8 ft 4 inches) in
length, making it the largest known nonmarine turtle or tortoise. It lived in
Australia and New Caledonia and fed on plants. Its surviving relatives are the
cryptodire turtles of South America. The Meiolania specimens which were once
living on New Caledonia and Lord Howe Island were much smaller than their
giant relatives from the Australian continent.
