The Thylacine, also referred to as the Tasmanian tiger, was the Tasmanian devil's main competitor for food, but when it became extinct, it made little difference to the Tasmanian devil, as they had different feeding patterns. However, Tasmanian kangaroos, wallabies and pademelons certainly did increase in number.
