The Thylacine, was a carnivorous marsupial predator (or dasyurid) that lived in the Australian island state of Tasmania. Quite different from the Tasmanian devil, which still exists, it was similar in size and appearance to a dog (although entirely unrelated) and is believed to now be extinct, although there are always unconfirmed sightings. Originally it lived throughout the Australian continent and even New Guinea.
The animal was brownish coloured, with stripes on the rear half of its body, hence the name Tasmanian Tiger. They were not related even remotely to true tigers. They were permitted to be hunted to extinction as Tasmanian settlers were concerned that they posed a threat to livestock. The last known thylacine died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936.
Mammal, specifically marsupial. Tasmanian tigers or thylacines have been extinct since 1936 when the last known thylacine died at the Hobart Zoo in Tasmania, Australia.
The Tasmanian tiger (Thylacine) is now extinct.
It had fur that was grey-brown (not orange, as sometimes depicted), and it had up to 16 black or brown stripes on its back, predominantly at the tail end.
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.
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.
Thylacines were marsupials, which meant that the young were born undeveloped and suckled on mothers' milk whilst in a pouch. The female was believed to bear around three young, once a year, during the winter-spring breeding season. As she had four teats, the female could carry up to four young in her pouch. The pouch could expand to the size where, with nearly-grown young in it, it would reach almost to the ground. The male was unusual in that he had a pouch which protected his reproductive organs as he raced through the dense undergrowth.
The correct name for the Tasmanian Tiger is Thylacine. It is also sometimes called a Tasmanian wolf. It is, however, neither a tiger nor a wolf. Its scientific name was Thylacinus cynocephalus.

The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, was a dasyuridwhich is a carnivorous marsupial.
The last known Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, died in 1936. Its extinction was caused because a bounty was placed on the animal as farmers feared it would kill their stock.
No. The Tasmanian tiger, more correctly known as the Thylacine, was one of Australia's few carnivorous marsupials. It was not related to the feline family in any way.

The Tasmanian tiger's correct name was Thylacine. The Thylacine was a marsupial of the order dasyuromorphidae. Its species name was Thylacinus cynocephalus.
The Tasmanian Tiger is related to the Tasmanian Devil. It had Kangaroo like features, too.
The Tasmanian Devil's real name is just Tasmanian Devil. Its scientific name is Sarcophilusharrisii.It is possible that this question refers to the real name of the Tasmanian devil's extinct relative, the Tasmanian tiger, which is Thylacine.
They are not related. They are both mammals, and that is where the similarity ends. Thylacines (the correct name for Tasmanian wolves) were marsupials. They are now extinct. They had a pouch in which the young developed after birth. Gray wolves are placental mammals. They have a longer gestation period than thylacines, and the young are much more developed when born.

The Thylacine (the correct name for the Tasmanian tiger) was a marsupial mammal: therefore, it was a vertebrate.
The tiger is not a marsupial. It is a placvental mammal. The now-extinct "Tasmanian tiger" was a marsupial, but it was not a member of the tiger family. Its real name was "thylacine" and it was only given the designation of Tasmanian tiger because of its stripes.
