Tasmanian Tiger

  • The Tasmanian tiger or thylacine is native to the Australian mainland and the islands of Tasmania and New Guinea. This species was last seen in the year 1930 in Tasmania.
  • Its scientific name is Thylacinus cynocephalus, the only animal in the Thylacinidae family to survive in modern times, was a marsupial mammal that raises young ones in a pouch.
  • Even though the species earned its nickname Tasmanian Tiger because of the stripes along its back, it was a slow-paced carnivorous that usually hunted alone or in pairs at night.
  • The sharply clawed animal had a dog-like head and ate kangaroos, other marsupials, small rodents, and birds. The European colonization of Australia saw a sharp decline in its numbers. The official declaration of the animal’s extinction was in the 1980s.
