This Looks Like Neither A Kangaroo or a Lion So Something Is Missing Here

Extinct kangaroo-like lion discovered in Australia

 
The fossilizedremains of a new species of marsupial lion have been found in Australia.

The predatory creature, named Wakaleo schouteni, is a relative of modern marsupials – mammals like kangaroos and koalas that keep their young in pouches.

It is also closely related to the last surviving species of marsupial lion, Thylacoleo carnifex, which had enormous dagger-like fangs and the strongest bite of any known mammal species.
