Catlike sabre-toothed predators evolved in three distinct lineages of mammals – carnivorans like the sabre-toothed cats, and nimravids ("false" sabre-tooths), the sparassodont family Thylacosmilidae ("marsupial" sabre-tooths), the gorgonopsids and the creodonts also developed long canine teeth, but with no other particular physical similarities.
Wakaleo is a genus of the thylacoleonid family of predatory mammals, which are known as marsupial lions. The size of Wakaleo species increases over the course of the evolution of the genus. W. schouteni is estimated to have weighed approximately 23 kilograms (51 lb), comparable to a dog, [ 3 ] while W. vanderleueri and W. alcootaensis are ...
