The Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf, was last seen in Tasmania in 1936. The last known specimen died in the Hobart Zoo, and no more have been sighted in the wild.
The Thylacine is also known as the Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf. This marsupial was, of course, discovered by indigenous Australians centuries ago. This is known through ancient cave paintings.
In 1642 Abel Tasman became the first to make note of the Thylacine. He recorded that one of his crewmen had found "footprints not ill-resembling the claws of a tiger" on the shores of Van Diemen's Land. Therefore it is best to say it is unknown who first discovered it, but Abel Tasman is credited with the discovery.
In April 1805 William Paterson, the Lieutenant Governor of Tasmania, sent a detailed description of the Thylacine for publication in the Sydney Gazette after an animal had been killed by dogs. At the time, he described it as "an animal of a truly singular and nouvel description".
The last known specimen of the Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, died in the Hobart Zoo on 7 September 1936.
