Marsupial lion

Thought to be around the size and stature of a present-day Siberian husky, the newly discovered prehistoric species of marsupial lion, the Wakaleo schouteni, is thought to have roamed around the rainforests of Australia about 18 to 26 million years ago. Researchers out of the University of New South Wales estimated that this 50-pound marsupial likely climbed trees and scoured for vegetation, rather than meat, proving that even the toughest cats could live in peace with their surroundings.
