Extinction
Main article: Quaternary extinction event
Thylacoleo is thought to have become extinct around 40,000 years ago as part of the Late Pleistocene extinctions, essentially simultanteously with the vast majority of Australian megafauna. It has been contested as to the relative importance of climatic change vs the impact of recently arrived Indigenous Australians (who arrived in Australia around 50-60,000 years ago) in the extinctions.[42]
I say we need to be careful, maybe they just got really good at hiding.
I do appreciate the meme but we did have real drop bears in pre-history

Fiendishly clever!
