The Thylacine is now extinct.
When the Thylacine was still in existence, the female was a dedicated mother, like all marsupials. The young Thylacine joeys stayed in the mother's pouch until they were old enough to be transferred to a den, where the mother continued to look after them.

The thylacine had fur, was warm-blooded, fed its young with milk, and gave live birth, making it a mammal.The thylacine gave birth to its young very undeveloped, so they had to attach to the mother's nipple, after being born, in order to gain the necessary nutrients. The thylacine had a pouch in which the young were protected. These characteristics made it a marsupial. The thylacine was one of only two marsupials where both the males and the females had pouches. However, the male's pouch was for the purpose of proteins its genitals, not for nurturing the joeys. Like other marsupials, the female thylacine had two vaginas, or what are called paired lateral vaginae. These were for the purpose of transporting the sperm to the womb, but there was a midline pseudovaginal canal for actually giving birth. As well as two vaginas and two uteruses, female thylacines, like other marsupials, had two fallopian tubes and two cervixes.
