The Tasmanian tiger, more correctly known as the Thylacine, was known up until 1936. This is when the last known Thylacine died in captivity. There have been no confirmed sightings since then.

∙ 10y agoThe Tasmanian wolf, more correctly known as the thylacine, was a mammal, so it reproduced sexually. This animal was a marsupial. Prior to its extinction, the Thylacine had a gestation period of one month, and the young joeys spent another 3-4 months continuing their development in the pouch. Having several joeys in the pouch would weigh the female down, bringing her abdomen almost to ground level, so after this, they were transferred to a den.
Interestingly, the male thylacine was unique for having a pouch, which was used for protecting its reproductive parts when running through thick undergrowth and scrub.

What do Tasmanian tiger babies look like?
Tasmanian tigers are now extinct. However, they were marsupials, which meant that the young were born undeveloped and suckled on mothers' milk whilst in a pouch.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.
What sound did the Tasmanian tiger make?
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.
How many babies can the Tasmanian devil carry?
The number of babies a female Tasmanian devil carries in her uterus is different from the number of joeys she carries in her pouch. A female Tasmanian devil actually may have several dozen tiny embryos in one birth - anywhere between 20 and 40 - but only four at most can latch onto a teat in the mother's pouch. The rest die. The breeding season is March to April, so Tasmanian devils breed just once a year. The average number of Tasmanian Devil joeys that a mother may be rearing in any given breeding season is 2-3.
