Best Answer

Thylacine is the correct name for the Tasmanian tiger, although it was also called the Tasmanian wolf, due to its wolf-like features. The Tasmanian tiger was prevalent in Tasmania until European settlement, when farmers hunted it to extinction, fearing it was a threat to their livestock. The last known specimen of the Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine, died in the Hobart Zoo in September 1936.
