When it was Thought that the Marsupial Lion was a Herbivore

The marsupial lion was one of the most fearsome predators to have lived in Australia. Although it was a marsupial and so not closely related to any of the placental mammals found on other continents they demonstrate remarkable convergent evolution to the predators found elswhere. Howeever the differed in some important ways namely they had enlarged incisors. Due to these strange features early naturalists thought they were herbivirous.
