(Redirected from Thylacoleo)

The Marsupial Lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) is an extinct species of carnivorous marsupial, that lived in Australia from about 24 million years ago, during the late Oligocene, and became extinct about 50,000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age. Pound for pound it had the strongest bite of any mammal species living or extinct, a 100kg Marsupial Lion, had a bite comparable to that of a 250kg African Lion. 1
