In 2011, a giant salamander from the Miocene of what is now the Grytsiv locality of Ukraine was given the name "Ukrainurus hypsognathus". The authors of the paper note that despite it having relatively inflexible jaws, it wouldve had in incredible bite force!

Another prehistoric creature I have never seen drawings of, the giant Miocene porcupine Neosteiromys from South America! It was largely terrestrial and in the same size range as living African porcupine! Here seen carrying a nice skull to gnaw on for dental health and minerals :B

As a last point, sad no doubt to some, it must be pointed out that Bullockornis, the 'Demon Duck of Doom', died out in the Miocene, and thus many millions of years before any human set foot on Australia.

A pair of Paleoart reconstructions: Telmasaurus and Squalodon.
Telmasaurus was a medium sized basal Varanoid (a stem-Monitor lizard if you will) from the Late Cretaceous Flaming Cliffs of Mongolia. Squalodon is a macropredatory Platanistoid whale from the Oligocene and Miocene.

Nature definitely did some experimentation as to what it wanted out of small toothed cetaceans. This is the somewhat river dolphin-adjacent Eurhinodelphis, a species that would've likely used its long rostrum for prey capture as depicted. The Miocene was an incredibly weird time.
