The short, tragic life of Leo the marsupial lion

Description:

Leos remains were discovered in a remote cave on the Nullarbor Plain. He was a marsupial lion, Thylacoleo, one of Australias most extraordinary megafauna (extinct giant animals), thought to have lived approximately 500,000 years ago. This fascinating book recreates Leos life in the period leading up to his early and tragic death.
