@Hoopermazing

You're an idiot.......not that the early humans knew any better, but because of them, all these megafauna went extinct. Burning bushes, killing off large animals, bringing in pests and disease.

I like how they just assume that its "millions" of years ago without substantiating that claim.

@Hoopermazing that doesn't mean squat. We've seen entire species wiped out by the introduction of new small insect species and incredible animals wiped out because they couldn't out breed other species. It's nature, shit happens. Don't be narrow minded.

@vguyver2 Blah, blah, blah. It couldn't survive competition from fucking dingos. ROFL.

[Hoopermazing]

If it was so great, it would still be here. Humans showed up with dogs, and this ugly bastard went extinct.

@ptango666 think about it, this small Marsupial Lion can outperform an animal twice it's size, and it's got a but 2x to 3x the strength of a large lion. andrewsarchus brought down to comparable scale wouldn't of had a bite nearly as powerful.

[roselinatiger99]

we basicly know nothing about it except for the fac it existsand its name

[MuLatina]

australians wish they had such a wild cat lol

[Calzonebaby]

@ptango666 I hear what u are saying but they are only saying that in terms of bite pressure though.....particularly those two rear teeth, which work like boltcutters do. The Tassie Devil and the Hyena have the 2 highest bite pressures of the living mammal world but they are nowhere near the most dangerous mammals around.
