What is the other name for a Tasmanian tiger?

Answer 1

The Thylacine, was a carnivorous marsupial predator (or dasyurid) that lived in the Australian island state of Tasmania. Quite different from the Tasmanian devil, which still exists, it was similar in size and appearance to a dog (although entirely unrelated) and is believed to now be extinct, although there are always unconfirmed sightings. Originally it lived throughout the Australian continent and even New Guinea.

The animal was brownish coloured, with stripes on the rear half of its body, hence the name Tasmanian Tiger. They were not related even remotely to true tigers. They were permitted to be hunted to extinction as Tasmanian settlers were concerned that they posed a threat to livestock. The last known thylacine died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936.

Answer 2

Mammal, specifically marsupial. Tasmanian tigers or thylacines have been extinct since 1936 when the last known thylacine died at the Hobart Zoo in Tasmania, Australia.

Answer 3

The Tasmanian tiger (Thylacine) is now extinct.

It had fur that was grey-brown (not orange, as sometimes depicted), and it had up to 16 black or brown stripes on its back, predominantly at the tail end.

The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, was about 100cm-110cm in length, with its tail half the length of its body again. The average total length was around 180cm (6ft) from nose to tail tip. The largest measured specimen was 9.5 ft from nose to tail (289cm - just short of 3 m), but this was highly unusual.

Adults stood about 50-60 cm (average 59cm) at the shoulder and weighed 15-30 kilograms, or 33 to 66 lb. The males were larger than females on average.

Thylacines were marsupials, which meant that the young were born undeveloped and suckled on mothers' milk whilst in a pouch. The female was believed to bear around three young, once a year, during the winter-spring breeding season. As she had four teats, the female could carry up to four young in her pouch. The pouch could expand to the size where, with nearly-grown young in it, it would reach almost to the ground. The male was unusual in that he had a pouch which protected his reproductive organs as he raced through the dense undergrowth.
