Line 22:
The Marsupial Lions were 75 cm (29 in) at the shoulder and about 150 cm (75 in) long from head to tail. They averaged 101 to 130 kg (223 to 287 lb), and individuals reaching 124 to 160 kg (273 to 353 lb) were common.
==Fossils==
Fossils of the Marsupial Lion have been found at many sites in Australia. Whole skeletons and skulls have been found such as those discovered in a limestone cave under Nullarbor Plain in 2007 where it is believed the animal fell to its death through a narrow opening in the plain above. One adult Marsupial Lion was found with a very young baby that would still have been in its mother's pouch, and another, older baby.
