Didelphodon Vorax

Description

Didelphodon Vorax sniffing on a virtually desintegrated an dried out carcass. It was one of the largest marsupials alive in the mesozoic and became extinct along with the dinosaurs. This is my personal hommage to what I think a didelphodon should look like in contrast to the ones from Walking With Dinosaurs. If you ask me those didn't move correctly on their hind legs.

Edit: I realize this is now an outdated version of the animal, based more on a badger and wolverine body plan. Recent discoveries have made clear the proportions of these animals were much more elongated and otter like in appearance.

Was it an ancestor of the opossum?
