Description
The infamous sabertoothed marsupial, Thylacosmilus atrox, which lived in South America from the Late Miocene to the early Pleistocene.
It was, as were its relatives, the borhyaenids, plantigrade, that is, they walked with their heels touching the ground, like bears or humans. T. atrox went extinct, it is assumed, because the digitigrade sabertoothed tigers were simply swifter.
Here we see T. atrox attacking an unidentified litoptern.
