It doesn't. The Tasmanian wolf, more properly known as the Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger, is believed to be extinct. The last known specimen died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936.
Before becoming extinct, the Thylacine had the same reproductive characteristics as other marsupials. The young joeys were born very undeveloped, then they cralwed into the mother's pouch where they latched onto a teat. The teat swelled in their mouth, securing them in the pouch until they were ready to feed on other things besides mothers' milk.
Thylacines bred all year round, producing between two and four joeys each breeding season. The joeys stayed in the pouch for around three months. After they were too big to stay in the pouch, the mother Thylacine would have a lair somewhere, where the joeys stayed until they were old enough to learn to hunt.
