It is descended from Thylacoleos that survived and remained unchanged since the Pleistocene. It is known to hunt and feed on wallabies, kangaroos, common wombats, marsupial tapirs, marsupial pandas, flatnose giant wombats, bonycheek giant wombats, pignose giant wombats, young Jack's giant wombat, young marsupial hippos, introduced wild pigs, young introduced water buffaloes, introduced camels, introduced rodents, young demon ducks, lizards, and carrion.

It spent most of its time in trees, like most modern marsupials, and would lie in wait until its prey, such as a large short-faced kangaroo or an ancestor of the wombat the size of a rhino, walked by and would jump down and ambush its prey, using its huge bite to kill its victims. Another weapon it has is its thumb claw.
