Baby Tasmanian tigers were called joeys. The Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, was a marsupial, and all marsupial young are called joeys.
They were not even remotely related to tigers, so the word "cubs" did not apply.
The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, 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.
Over the course of Western contact with the species many were kept in zoos. The last individual held outside Australia died in London Zoo in 1931, while the last ever captive specimen died in Hobart in 1936. Both are recorded on film.
One of the many modern myths that has built up around the animal is that they never bred in captivity. In fact they were on one occasion bred in Melbourne Zoo.
Difficult to answer. The Tasmanian Tiger has not been confirmed as still living since 1936. The other difficulty is how big at what age? The Tasmanian Tiger was a marsupial animal (pouched) like a kangaroo. At birth the baby weighed only an ounce or two- it would crawl to the mother's pouch, and nurse until big enough to leave the pouch.
Absolutely none. The Tasmanian Tiger, more properly known as the Thylacine, is officially classified as extinct.Prior to their extinction, female Thylacines typically gave birth to between two and four babies. Like other marsupial young, the proper name for these babies was "joey". The Thylacine joeys were born tiny, undeveloped, hairless and blind, and they had to make their way by instinct to their mother's pouch. Once there, they latched onto a teat, and remained in the pouch for three months.

There are no known Tasmanian Tigers, or Thylacines, still in existence. The last one is believed to have died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936.
It is not known how many thylacines, or Tasmanian tigers there were. What is known is that thousands were killed by man during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Both wallabies and Tasmanian Tigers (Thylacines) are mammals, specifically marsupials. Tasmanian Tigers are believed to be extinct, and many species of wallaby are heading in the same direction, due to man's interference.
Tasmanian tigers, or thylacines, went extinct in the early 20th century.
No. Tasmanian tigers only lived in the continent of Australia and part of New Guinea.

Tasmanian tigers, more properly known as Thylacines, were at the top of the food chain. They had no natural predators.
Generally, Thylacines (as Tasmanian tigers were properly called) did not make any sound. They were heard, on occasion, to make a quick yipping sound. Tasmanian tigers were not tigers, so they did not make a tiger-like growl.
There are not, nor have ever been, Tasmanian tigers in Florida. Fossil evidence indicates that Tasmanian tigers only lived in the continent of Australia and part of New Guinea.
Yes. Humans are taller than Thylacines (Tasmanian tigers) were. Adult Tasmanian tigers stood about 50-60 cm (average 59cm) at the shoulder.
Tasmanian tigers, or thylacines, went extinct in the early 20th century.

The main predators of Tasmanian Tigers, now believed extinct, were human hunters (both Aboriginal but especially European) and dingoes.
