Description

Discovered deep within a remote cave on the Nullarbor Plain, Leo is the name given to the fossilised remains of a Thylacoleo – Australia’s extinct marsupial lion and one of the most extraordinary members of our megafauna. Estimated to have lived around 500,000 years ago, Leo's story is one of survival, tragedy, and rediscovery.

This beautifully illustrated book brings Leo’s world to life, imagining his final days before his untimely death and exploring how his body became preserved deep beneath the earth. Readers will also get a behind-the-scenes look at the thrilling work of palaeontologists who uncovered Leo’s remains and pieced together his story.

Perfect for young readers, educators, and anyone fascinated by prehistoric life, the Short Tragic Life of Leo the Marsupial Lion is a compelling introduction to Australia’s ancient past and the science that helps uncover it.
