Present Australia has some interesting critters, and so does past Australia.
In this case, an unusual eagle that liked koala for breakfast. They actually found an almost complete skeleton of the bird near Lake Pinpa. It wasn't like modern eagles - it had a short wingspan and hunted through trees like modern goshawks and Cooper's hawks.
As Australia dried out, the eagle vanished. Australia is now home to the wedge-tailed eagle, which is about the same size as a bald eagle. Except being Australia, we know which one would win in a fight. (Of course, that's an Australian site, so they're probably biased).
