Yurlunggur is a genus of fossil snake in the extinct family Madtsoiidae. This genus was a part of the extinct megafauna of Australia, and contains the species Yurlunggur camfieldensis. Y. camfieldensis was a large apex predator that typically reached 4.5–6 m (15–20 ft) in length, with one vertebra from the Wyandotte Creek suggesting a maximum length of 7–8 m (23–26 ft). It persisted in the region from the Oligocene until the Miocene epoch. It is described as a member of the family Madtsoiidae, that includes the species such as Wonambi naracoortensis, present in Australia until the Pleistocene.

  • Yurlunggur is a genus of fossil snake in the extinct family Madtsoiidae. This genus was a part of the extinct megafauna of Australia, and contains the species Yurlunggur camfieldensis. Y. camfieldensis was a large apex predator that typically reached 4.5–6 m (15–20 ft) in length, with one vertebra from the Wyandotte Creek suggesting a maximum length of 7–8 m (23–26 ft). It persisted in the region from the Oligocene until the Miocene epoch. It is described as a member of the family Madtsoiidae, that includes the species such as Wonambi naracoortensis, present in Australia until the Pleistocene. The name of the genus is derived from traditional name given by the people of Arnhem Land to the Rainbow serpent. They closely resemble Varanus (monitors) more than small burrowing lizards. has presented this as evidence of descent from the former, rather than burrowing ancestors that evolved into the elongate and legless snakes. The fossil material described by this species includes a rare example of a complete skull and mandible, often crushed in the fossilisation process, that was preserved in the soft limestone of a body of fresh water. This was found at the Riversleigh fossil site in northwest Queensland. In 2018, researchers have suggested that this genus was a fossorial or semi-fossorial animal. (en)
