SIGH,

The Tassie tiger ISN'T (or should I say wasn't). It was a flesh eating marsupial. The name came about from the banded fur.

"Marsupial lions" were Phascacoleo spp, probably extinct by 10K BP and certainly recorded among the Cuddie Springs deposits 40K BP together with stone artefacts. (Judith Field has the definitive study, despite what media fluff self promoting fabulists like Flannery puts out there).

Frankly I'd be most wary of diprotodonts (giant wombats bigger than a hippo)among them all if they were still around. Except perhaps for the Megalania, crocodile and python megafauna that the local fellas around Brewarinna and Boobera Lagoon parts record as the Kurreas etc. The python being a continental wide story known generically as the rainbow serpent; morphing into Gunatch and Gurangaty (the giant eel: for the coastal plains people of Sydney esp Gundangara, Dharug and Dharawal).
