And so the Riversleigh #paleostream concluded! Lots of weird marsupials in this one. Since we chose to depict here a Miocene faunal zone you will not come across your typical Australian megafauna, like Diprotodon and Dromornis, that stuff came later.

We are looking at their ancestors, before the rainforest collapse.

Here some detail shots. Next time we will visit the Kimmeridge clay, a late Jurassic marine ecosystem.

[sixth-extinction]

A new species of marsupial lion has been discovered! Fossils of Wakaleo schouteni were found in the Riversleigh World Heritage Area in northwest Queensland, Australia. A skull (pictured above), jawbone and arm bones were recovered about two decades ago, and have been identified as a new species after a great deal of research. The fossils were recovered from sites that have been dated at 18 million to 23 million years old.

W. schouteni was thought to weigh about 23 kilograms, so it was much smaller than its more well-known relative, Thylacoleo carnifex. The thylacoleonid family consists of 9 species, ranging in size from about 600 grams (Microleo attenboroughi) to 130 kilograms (T. carnifex).

The new species was named after paleoartist Peter Schouten, who was “flabbergasted” at such an honor. [x]

Marsupial Lion: Ferocious fossil

About the Lion

Wakaleo schouteni Location: Australia

In the late Oligocene, which ended about 23 million years ago as the Miocene arrived, a marsupial lion, Wakaleo schouteni, roamed Australia’s open forest habitat in northwestern Queensland, stalking its prey. Scientists from the University of New South Wales recovered fossils in the Riversleigh World Heritage Area in Queensland that…

Fossils belonging to a new species of marsupial lion (Thylacoleonidae), named Wakaleo schouteni, may be the oldest and smallest of the Wakaleo genus.

Paleontologists have discovered a new species of predatory marsupial that lived 26 to 18 million years ago (late Oligocene to early Miocene) in Australia’s rainforests. The newly-discovered marsupial lion was the size of a dog and weighed around 23kg, about a 1/5th of the weight of the largest and last surviving marsupial lion, Thylacoleo carnifex, that weighed in at 130 kg and became extinct about 30,000 years ago.

New species of extinct marsupial lion discovered in Australia A team of Australian scientists has discovered a new species of marsupial lion which has been extinct for at least 19 million years. The findings, published in the Journal of Systematic Palaeontology, are based on fossilised remains of the animal's skull, teeth, and humerus (upper arm bone) found by University of New South Wales (UNSW) scientists in the Riversleigh World Heritage Area of remote north-western Queensland. Named in honour of palaeoartist Peter Schouten, Wakaleo schouteni was a predator that stalked Australia's abundant rainforests some 18 to 26 million years ago in the late Oligocene to early Miocene era. This meat-eating marsupial is estimated to have been about the size of a dog and weighed around 23 kilograms. The new species is about a fifth of the weight of the largest and last surviving marsupial lion, Thylacoleo carnifex, that weighed in at around 130 kilograms and which has been extinct for 30,000 years. Members of this family, the Thylacoleonidae, had highly distinct large, blade-like, flesh-cutting premolars that they used to tear up prey. The discovery comes just a year after the fossilised remains of a kitten-sized marsupial lion were found in the same famous fossil site in Queensland. The UNSW scientists named that miniature predator Microleo attenboroughi after broadcasting legend Sir David Attenborough. With this new find, the researchers believe that two different species of marsupial lion were present in the late Oligocene at least 25 million years ago. The other, originally named Priscileo pitikantensis, but renamed Wakaleo pitikantensis, was slightly smaller and was identified from teeth and limb bones discovered near Lake Pitikanta in South Australia in 1961. This latest discovery reveals that the new species (W. schouteni) exhibits many skull and dental features of the genus Wakaleo but it also shared a number of similarities with P. pitikantensis - particularly the presence of three upper premolars and four molars, previously the diagnostic feature of Priscileo. Further similarities of the teeth and humerus which are shared with W. schouteni indicate that P. pitikantensis is a species of Wakaleo. According to the authors, these dental similarities distinguish W. schouteni and W. pitikantensis from later species of this genus, all of which show premolar and molar reduction, and suggest that they are the most primitive members of the genus. Lead author Dr Anna Gillespie, a palaeontologist from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia says that the latest finding raises new questions about the evolutionary relationships of marsupial lions: "The identification of these new species have brought to light a level of marsupial lion diversity that was quite unexpected and suggest even deeper origins for the family."

Hello! Regarding the gif of the wobbly headed kitten, the kitten has a neurological disorder. I recognized the duo from videos I saw on YouTube and was able to find them! The channel is called Wakaleo and the gif is sourced from the video Dog Befriends Disabled Kitten c:
