There was no such animal as the "Tasmanian tiger wolf".
The proper name of this animal was Thylacine, but it was also known variously as the Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf - not the Tasmanian tiger wolf.
The habitat of the thylacine was open bushland such as dry eucalypt forest or grasslands or even open wetlands.
From the time of European settlement, the Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, was only known on the Australian island state of Tasmania. However, fossil evidence from a long time ago indicates they once also lived on the Australian mainland and in New Guinea.

∙ 12y agoUnfortunately, the Tasmanian tiger (more correctly called the Thylacine) has not survived. The arrival of European settlers spelt doom for this marsupial, as it was believed that the Thylacine posed a threat to the settlers' livestock.
Prior to Man's interference, the Thylacine survived by hunting other mammals. It hid in the thick bushland and, although essentially nocturnal, was also active during the day.

The Tasmanian wolf, more correctly known as the Thylacineor even Tasmanian Tiger, is believed to be extinct. The last one died in the Hobart zoo in 1936. It was wiped out by bounty hunters who were paid to eliminate the creature, based of farmers' fears for their stock.

How did the Tasmanian wolf protect its self?
It did not need to protect itself in the wild. The Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus, also known as the Tasmanian Tiger and sometimes the Tasmanian Wolf), became extinct during the 20th century. The last known specimen died in the Hobart Zoo on the 7th of September, 1936. It was a carnivorous marsupial mammal and did not have any natural predators. It was hunted to extinction after a bounty was placed on it as a livestock killer. There is disputed evidence that a very small number may yet still exist in the Tasmanian wilderness, but nobody has seen, photographed or trapped one.
