Microleo. Microleo attenboroughi is a very small species of the Thylacoleonidae family of marsupials from the Early Miocene of Australia, living in the wet forest that dominated Riversleigh about 18 million years ago. The genus Microleo is currently known from a broken palate and two pieces of jaw, containing some teeth and roots that ...
Wakaleo. Wakaleo ( Diyari waka, "little", "small"; and Latin leo, "lion") [1] is an extinct genus of medium-sized thylacoleonids that lived in Australia in the Late Oligocene and Miocene Epochs. Although much smaller than its close relative, the marsupial lion ( Thylacoleo carnifex ), Wakaleo would have been a successful hunter.
