Do Tasmanian Tigers have enemies

The Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine as it is correctly called, is believed to be extinct. This is because its major enemy was man, who perceived it as a threat to livestock and set out on a campaign to decimate its population - a campaign that, unfortunately, succeeded.

Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the Thylacine's biggest competitor for food was the Tasmanian Devil. Originally, when the Thylacine was found on the mainland as well, it is thought that the dingo's arrival caused its extinction from the continent, as the dingo was bigger and a more vicious hunter and killer.
