Thylacoleo (SciiFii)

Thylacoleo sciifii (name meaning "SciiFii's pouch lion"), commonly known as the marsupial lion or the drop bear, is a species of carnivorous marsupial native to Australia and originally lived as an extinct Thylacoleo species from the Late Pliocene to the Late Pleistocene (2 million to 46 thousand years ago), becoming extinct during that time, but was since brought back from extinction thanks to SciiFii. The marsupial lion is the largest native mammalian predator of Australia and among the largest carnivorous marsupials, approaching the weight of a small lion, with the weight ranging from 101 to 130 kg. The marsupial lion is often called the drop bear due to its habit of climbing onto trees and often wait for any unsuspecting prey below to come nearby, and the marsupial lion jumps down to pin down its prey. The conservation status of the marsupial lion is Vulnerable due to habitat loss and historic poaching, but is protected by conservationists and its habitat is also protected.
