NOVA takes viewers to the stark Australian outback in search of the elusive bones of one of the world’s most bizarre prehistoric creatures—a giant predatory marsupial called Thylacoleo. Australia’s leading paleontologists endure extreme weather, treacherous drops into a deep cavern, and the threat of fossil poachers as they launch a daring expedition to find the rare megabeast.  Tune in Tuesday June 16th at 8PM.
