25 million year Kangaroo Lion Found!

In the recent past, the world has been watching stunned and astonished as fossils of giant birds, legged sea cows, giant sized hyaenas and dinosaur fossils are being dug out from ancient mountain rocks, hidden rocks and caves and brought back to life…at least on the celluloid screen. The latest and most amazing discovery in this chain of events has been the remains of the kangaroo lion. Amazing creatures! They were giant lions equipped by nature with little pockets to carry baby lions.

We don't know if at some point in time, the baby lions got really heavy for their mothers to carry all over the place in a pocket, .especially during their hunts. Anyway, nature decided that those designs for animals were really obsolete and kangaroo lions went out of fashion, so to say in nature's scheme of things. Now, all that remains to tell the tale, so to say, are the fossils of these magnificent creatures.
The kangaroo lions skulls discovered are really huge! As big as the size of the skull of a small dog. The age of the skull has been estimated to be about 25 million years. Discovered by Benita Chambers, in northwest Queensland, this fascinating discovery puts Giant lion kangaroos a species to dream and wonder about. These amazing creatures are believed to have died out about 50 000 years ago. Scientists predict that their closest relatives were the koalas and wombats, although these lions are believed to have the appearance of a tiger.
