During the Pleistocene, the large Thylacoleo Carnifex roamed most of Australia except the arid centre.
Elsewhere on the planet, in Europe and The Americas, sabre-toothed tigers were their evolutionary equivalent. The Thylacoleo was leopard-sized, with pincer-like incisors and enormous flesh-cutting teeth.
Thylocoleo was Australia’s apex predator and would have moved freely through the treetops, enabling it to pounce on prey from above. It had a long claw on its thumb and possum-like toes on its hind limbs.
