Wakaleo

''Wakaleo'' (indigenous Australian ''waka'', "little", "small", and Latin ''leo'', "lion"), was a genus of medium-sized thylacoleonids that lived in Australia in the early to late Miocene. It was approximately 2.5 ft (80 cm) long, or the size of a dog. Although much smaller than its close relative, the marsupial lion ''(Thylacoleo carnifex)'', ''Wakaleo'' would have been a successful hunter in its time. It had teeth specially designed for cutting and stabbing. The ocelot-sized predator ''Wakaleo'', along with its jaguar-sized relative ''Thylacoleo'', were actually related to the herbivore wombats.〔The Book of Life.

==Species==

*''Wakaleo alcootaensis'' was found in the Miocene Waite Formation in the Northern Territory in 1974. It was slightly larger than the other two species.
*''Wakaleo oldfieldi'' was found by a group of scientists working in the Miocene Wipijiri Formation in southern Australia in 1971. They found a nearly complete left dentry which included a few well-preserved teeth.
*''Wakaleo vanderleuri'' was first found by some field workers in 1967 in the Miocene Camfield Beds in the Northern Territory. Many more specimens have been found since then.
