Subsequently, one may also ask, why did the marsupial lion go extinct?
New research suggests it was climate change — not human activity — that caused Thylacoleo carnifex, an Australian marsupial lion, to go extinct. For millions of years, Thylacoleo carnifex ruled the forests of Australia, but this predatory species disappeared around 35,000 to 45,000 years ago.
Additionally, when did the marsupial lion go extinct? Genus: Thylacoleo (Thylacopardus) – Australia's marsupial lions, that lived from about 2 million years ago, during the Late Pliocene Epoch and became extinct about 30,000 years ago, during the Late Pleistocene Epoch.
Keeping this in view, what did the marsupial lion eat?
meat
