Thylacoleo carnifex, or the “pouched lion” (Mammalia: Marsupialia: Diprotodontia: Thylacoleonidae), was a carnivorous marsupial that inhabited Australia during the Pleistocene.

The Tasmanian devil Sarcophilus harrisi(Boitard), once widespread on continental Australia, probably became extinct there partly due to food competition with dingoes and, possibly, black man and their extinction may have been expedited by a dry climatic ...

Who was the real sabertooth predator: Thylacosmilus or Thylacoleo?
Abstract Sabertoothed mammalian predators, all now extinct, were almost exclusively feloid carnivorans (Eutheria, Placentalia): here a couple of extinct metatherian predators are considered in comparison with the placental sabertooths. Thylacosmilus (the “marsupial sabertooth”) and Thylacoleo (the “marsupial lion”) were both relatively large (puma ...

ABSTRACT Aim Australia's arid and semi‐arid zones cover about 70% of the continent, yet our understanding of the biogeography of these diverse and expansive landscapes remains limited. Mulgara (Dasycercus spp.; Marsupialia: Dasyuridae), a widely distributed mammal taxon, offers an opportunity to explore patterns of the population structure across the ...

Cellular Composition of the Brain of a Northern Minke Whale
Avelino‐de‐Souza et al. show that the minke whale has 3.2 billion neurons in the cerebral cortex, as predicted for a generic cetartiodactyl species, which places it and other cetaceans between monkeys and great apes in a ranking of mammal and bird species by total numbers of neurons in the pallium/cerebral cortex.
