Australia has plenty of scary animals,cancer woman eroticism and now you can add a large flesh-eating marsupial to the list.
A distant cousin of the Tasmanian devil, but double the size at roughly 20 to 25 kilograms (44 to 55 lbs), the extinct animal has been named the "Whollydooleya tomnpatrichorum."

Based off its teeth, it's an animal you definitely wouldn't want to mess with.
"W. tomnpatrichorum had very powerful teeth capable of killing and slicing up the largest animals of its day," University of New South Wales Professor Mike Archer says in a statement.

The discovery is helping researchers gain a further understanding into the late Miocene period, around 12 to 5 million years ago, which is a little-known period of Australia's history. Fossils from land animals from the period are extremely rare.
The molar from the freaky marsupial was discovered in an area called Whollydooley Hill, a fossil-rich site ripe for discovery.

"These new discoveries are starting to fill in a large hole in our understanding about how Australia's land animals transformed from being small denizens of its ancient wet forests to huge survivors on the second most arid continent on Earth."

We wager there's still a whole host of frightening-sounding marsupials yet to be discovered.
