Australia did have some megafauna. Thylacoleo was a masupial lion (101- 130 kg) roughly comparable to the weight of a lioness. They died out during the pleistocene and were Australia's largest known carnivorous mammal. There were also grazers such as Diprotodon (a kind of giant wombat), Palorchestes, plus a few others nearly all of which died out in the pleistocene
