Did British colonization affect Tasmanian tigers and how?

Answer 1

The Tasmanian tiger, more correctly known as the thylacine, was a carnivorous marsupial. It was indeed directly affected by British colonisation, to the point where the arrival of Europeans directly caused its exinction.

The Thylacine became extinct because the European settlers saw it as a threat to their livestock and petitioned for a bounty to be placed on it. This enabled them to freely hunt the animal, leading directly to its extinction.
