General Description:
The Thylacoleo is an extinct, marsupial carnivore; often referred to as a 'marsupial lion.' They are megafauna of Australia, and at the time were the largest predator. Interestingly they possessed opposable thumbs and had retractable claws (unheard of in marsupials). They also had the strongest bite power of any mammal - alive or extinct. Stephen Wroe, specialist in marsupial evolution in Australia, has posited that the Thylacoleo is the most specialised carnivorous mammal of all time.
