Wakaleo oldfieldi
Wakaleo was a fearsome hunter and the first large marsupial predator known from anywhere in the world. Its teeth show signs of becoming highly specialised for cutting flesh instead of chewing, crushing or grinding food.
Nimbadon lavarackorum
Nimbadon was well-adapted for climbing. It had curved hook-like claws and grasping pincer-like hands and feet. It was almost koala-like, though its closest living relatives are actually wombats.
Silvabestius johnnilandi
Silvabestius johnnilandi was a diprotodontoid marsupial. The teeth show it would have been a browser, eating stems and leaves. It is known from two skulls found in close proximity: almost certainly that of a female adult and its pouch young.
Dromornis planei
Dromornis planei was a giant flightless bird that weighed 250 kilograms or more. Its robust legs were perfect for walking a heavy body around. Though its head and beak may seem impressive, Dromornis is thought to have eaten fruit, seeds and vegetation. Exactly why the bill is so big is still a mystery.
