Why Are There No Hoofed Animals in Australia?

Australia has plenty of iconic animals. Kangaroos, emus, wombats, the usual suspects. But there’s something quietly missing from the picture, something you don’t really notice until you think about it.
There are no native hoofed animals.
For a whole continent, that’s pretty unusual. Especially when you compare it to how ecosystems look in most other parts of the world. Hoofed animals tend to be a big deal elsewhere. But here? Nothing. The wildlife works differently. The herbivores look different, move differently, and live differently. And once you realize what’s missing, the question hangs there:
How did Australia end up without a single native hoofed animal?
