What is the Difference between the Tasmanian Tiger and the Tasmanian Devil?

They are both marsupial carnivores from Tasmania. The differences, however, are very easy to see just by looking at them.
The Tasmanian Tiger (which is extinct) appeared dog like, and but had a straight, downward hanging tail with no point (it was more rounded at the end, like a cat's tail). They also had parallel stripes running from the spine down both flanks, but not under the stomach. They grew up to just over 4 feet long (excluding the tail), with males being larger than females.
The Tasmanian Devil is a small marsupial carnivore, just under 2 feet long (excluding the tail), that has very short legs, and a barrel shaped body. Their snout is filled with sharp teeth, and they have a powerful bite.
