Galadi (woreda)
''Galadi'' is an extinct genus of predatory bandicoot from Oligo-Miocene deposits of Riversleigh, northwestern Queensland, Australia. It was first named by K.J. Travouillon, Y. Gurovich, R.M.D. Beck and J. Muirhead in 2010 and the type species is ''Galadi speciosus''; additional three species, ''G. adversus'', ''G. amplus'' and ''G. grandis'', were described in 2013. The genus is represented by three well-preserved skulls and several isolated maxillae and dentaries. Its body mass would have been close to two pounds, making it relatively large for its family. The combination of body size, robustness and short, stout skull indicates that ''Galadi'' would have been able to take relatively large prey for its size, though the morphology of its molars indicates it may have been omnivorous An omnivore () is an animal that has the ability to eat and survive on both plant and animal matter.
