Best Answer

The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, was about 100cm-110cm in length, with its tail half the length of its body again. The average total length was around 180cm (6ft) from nose to tail tip. The largest measured specimen was 9.5 ft from nose to tail (289cm - just short of 3 m), but this was highly unusual - and quite possibly not even accurate.

Adults stood about 50-60 cm (average 59cm) at the shoulder and weighed 15-30 kilograms, or 33 to 66 lb. The males were larger than females on average.
