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.
The habitat of the thylacine was open bushland such as dry eucalypt forest or grasslands or sometimes the edge of open wetlands.
The last thylacine died in the Hobart Zoo in September 1936.
