What is a Marsupial Lion?

The wolf lion (scientific name: Thylacoleo ) is a marsupial carnivore that lives in Australia and is probably the largest carnivorous mammal in Australian history. Living in Australia from the end of the Pliocene to the end of the Pleistocene, the model species is T. carnifex . ^[1]

The ancestor of modern kangaroos-the original kangaroo-can grow up to 3 meters. Other herbivores include the 2.4-meter-long tadpole and the larger biporter, which may have a long nose. The kangaroo is the largest of all herbivorous marsupials, the size of a rhino. It uses large claws to dig out bushes from the ground to eat. A predator is a prey that is a lion-like marsupial predator, the marsupial lion. It is generally believed that the lion's lion is more active in the woods than in the grasslands or shrubs.

Australian scientists have evaluated the bite force of many carnivorous mammals for the first time, according to a report from the National Geographic website. They found that the predatory marsupial, commonly known as the "Tasmanian Devil", is the most powerful predator in the world.

According to the American LifeScience Network, there are no terrestrial predators in mainland Australia today, but a marsupial carnivore called Thylacoleo carnifex survived 30,000 years ago in the Australian mainland, which has become extinct. The species in ancient Australia is equivalent to the status of the saber-toothed tiger in the South American continent. It is a large, strong bite, and is a ferocious top predator.

By studying animal fossil skulls, scientists have reached similar conclusions in extinct carnivorous mammals. They found that the extinct Thylacoleo (marsupial lions) is more ferocious than the tadpoles, and it has the strongest biting force among all carnivorous mammals. This creature weighing more than 200 pounds (approximately 100 kilograms) walked the Australian continent for the last time about 30,000 years ago.

The research team said that these "precarious predators" were once the dominant predators on the Australian continent, with North and South America flooded with saber-toothed cats, and they also occupy With a similar small ecological environment.

One of the most extinct animals most likely to be brought back to life by science

This top predator survived in Australia from the end of the Pliocene to the end of the Pleistocene and died out 46,000 years ago, not too long ago. It is Australia's largest carnivorous animal, and its size is comparable to that of a female lion or tiger, but it is not related to a lion from a genetic point of view. As a marsupial, it has a closer relationship with koalas and kangaroos, despite its sharpness. The cracked teeth and strong jaw muscles can tear a large piece of meat from the prey. ^[3]

To survive in the weak and strong biosphere, you must be ferocious, especially the mammal family. Among the cruelest animals considered to be, there are both the "King of Beasts" tiger, the cruel African lion, the super-fast jaguar, and the "scheme" Mongolian wolf. Even many dogs are fierce. However, they are not among the fiercest characters in the mammal family. The latest research by scientists shows that the most severe and most biting mammal is the marsupial carnivore of Australia, the wolf lion.

Scientists have recently conducted a series of analyses of local marsupials in Australia and made important discoveries. The research involved a very wide range, both existing marsupials and ancient fossils. What the scientists want to know is how much bitten the marsupial carnivores are.

Scientists have found that Australia s extinct Wombat lion is more lethal than a lion.

The environment on the Australian continent is similar to that of South and North America, which were once paradise for saber-toothed cats. The researchers analyzed the skulls of 39 existing and extinct animals and calculated the coefficients of force produced by their respective canine teeth, thereby inferring the bite force that cannibals can produce from carnivorous mammals.

Researchers have compared the bite power of each animal to the animal's body size. The latest results show that the most ferocious animals in mammals are not the lions, tigers or wolves that people have always thought of. Tasmanian Carnivorous marsupials are among the most lethal animals in existence in the world.

In addition, after studying the extinct carnivorous fossils, the researchers reached similar conclusions. They point out that the bag lion's bite is the biggest, but it is only 30,000 years ago that this behemoth of more than 200 pounds appeared in Australia for the last time.

But the research team added that although the predators in Australian carnivores have become extinct, and people can only speculate on their fierceness by scientific calculations, some close relatives of the Baglios are not extinct, and people can still see bags from these animals Lion's shadow.

The lion's bite is comparable to a lion whose size is three times that of a lion.

In April, scientists published their latest findings in the scientific journal Royal Society Report. Stephen Woollow, a paleontologist and mammalian at the University of Sydney, Australia, led the study. He said: "Tasmania's carnivore is often underestimated. A 6 kg (13 lb) wombat can kill a 30 kg (66 lb) wombat!"

The study also showed that these carnivorous marsupials, who lived about 30,000 years ago in Australia, bite almost as much as modern lions that are three times their size. Woolloy said, "A bag lion with an average weight of about 100 kilograms (220 pounds) has a bite force close to that of the largest existing lion weighing about 250 kilograms (550 pounds)." ^[4]
