Best Answer

No animal is truly vicious, although some are more likely to be aggressive than others. The Tasmanian tiger was hunted to extinction because they were blamed for hunting livestock.

However, there is not enough knowledge of their hunting strategies to determine whether they killed prey in a quick or a slow manner.

No, they were carnivores.

The Tasmanian tiger, more properly known as a Thylacine, was a carnivorous marsupial, or dasyurid. It fed on native animals such as wallabies, wombats, possums, birds and other prey smaller than itself.

No. The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, was not venomous.

The only venomous Australian mammal is the male platypus.
