Procoptodon was a genus of giant short-faced kangaroo living in Australia during the Pleistocene epoch. P. goliah, the largest known kangaroo that ever existed, stood approximately . They weighed about . Other members of the genus are smaller however and Procoptodon gilli is the smallest of all of the sthenurine kangaroos, standing ~1m tall.
Giant short-faced kangaroos had a flat face and forward-pointing eyes. On each foot they had a single large toe somewhat similar in appearance like a horse's hoof. On these unusual feet they moved quickly through the open forests and plains, where th...
Diprotodon, meaning "two forward teeth", sometimes known as the giant wombat or the hippopotamus wombat, is the largest known marsupial ever to have lived. Along with many other members of a group of unusual species collectively called the "Australian megafauna", it existed from approximately 1.6 million years ago until extinction some 46,000 years ago (through most of the Pleistocene epoch).
Diprotodon species fossils have been found in sites across mainland Australia, including complete skulls and skeletons, as well as hair and foot impressions. Aboriginal rock art images in Quinkan...
The Solifugae are an order of animals in the class Arachnida known variously as camel spiders, wind scorpions, sun spiders, or solifuges. The order includes more than 1,000 described species in about 153 genera. Much like a spider, the body of a solifugid has two tagmata: an opisthosoma (abdomen) behind the prosoma (that is, in effect, a combined head and thorax). At the front end, the prosoma bears two chelicerae that, in most species, are conspicuously large. The chelicerae serve as jaws and in many species also are used for stridulation. Unlike scorpions, solifugids do not have a third...
The , Macrocheira kaempferi, is a species of marine crab that lives in the waters around Japan. It has the largest leg span of any arthropod, reaching up to and weighing up to . It is the subject of small-scale fishery which has led to a few conservation measures.
Description
The Japanese spider crab has the greatest leg span of any arthropod, reaching from claw to claw. The body may grow to a size of (carapace width) and the whole crab can weigh up to . The males have the longer chelipeds; The crab is orange, with white spots along the legs. It is reported to have a gentle disposi...
Did you know Australia was home to megafauna 40-50,000 years ago? They were huge! Our Giant Wombat, which is very appropriately named, was a wombat that stood taller than an adult. So too did our largest kangaroo, the Procoptodon.
If these facts are terrifying to you, it's okay. They went extin...

How is this bitmap able to show a C++ program for "Hello World"?
I am having some difficulty compiling a C++ program that I've written.
This program is very simple and, to the best of my knowledge, conforms to all the rules set forth in the C++ Standard. I've read over the entirety of ISO/IEC 14882:2003 twice to be sure.
The program is as follows:

Procoptodon was a genus of giant short-faced kangaroo living in Australia during the Pleistocene epoch. P. goliah, the largest known kangaroo that ever existed, stood approximately 2 m (6.6 ft). They weighed about 230 kg (510 lb). Other members of the genus are smaller however and Procoptodon gilli is the smallest of all of the sthenurine kangaroos, standing ~1m tall.
