Not more than one mammal related to another. Tasmanian tiger is a carnivorous marsupial, related to quolls and tasmanian davil, while creodonts are archaic relatives of ferungulates - group which includes carnivors, true ungulates and whales.

Still no specific name. I spoke with the author just before New Year - the description of the species is still in preparation.
This guy (together with my restauration) is on the exibition in Moscow Paleontological Museum.

In that case, would you be interested in hearing some extra juicy paleontology gossip?
