À propos de ce contenu audio

 Thylacoleo, commonly known as the marsupial lion, was one of Australia’s most formidable extinct predators. Although not related to modern lions, it possessed an exceptionally powerful bite force, rivaling that of an African lion, despite descending from plant-eating marsupial ancestors similar to koalas or wombats. Its anatomy was highly specialized for killing, featuring shearing, bolt-cutter-like teeth, strong forelimbs with retractable claws, and a muscular body built more like a tree-climbing bear than a running hunter. Rather than pursuing prey over long distances, Thylacoleo is thought to have been an ambush predator, attacking from trees with sudden, overwhelming force. The species disappeared around 50,000 years ago, a decline that likely coincided with human arrival in Australia and the resulting environmental and ecological disruptions.
