===Thylacoleo or Pouch Lion(9)===
The Thylacoleo, or pouch lion, is a brute found hunting the lowlands. Individuals ranged up to around 29.5 in height at the shoulder, and about 60 in from head to tail. Measurements taken from a number of specimens show that they averaged 220 to 285 lb in weight, although individuals heavier than 350 lb may not have been uncommon. This would make it quite comparable to female Lions and Tigers in general size. The creature has a retractable thumb claw, clawed paws and semi-opposable thumbs, and is capable of leaning on its talk to stand, much like a kangaroo. It's known to climb trees, taking its prey with it. An elusive hunter; listen for its low growling calls in forested areas in order to escape its vicious temper. Be ready for an ambush if you spot any of the tell-tale signs of thylacoleo; long series of deep gashes along tree trunks indicate it may have recently climbed into one; droppings containing bone fragments and half eaten corpses hanging from trees are the most obvious signs.
