Best Answer

No. The Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus, also known as the Tasmanian Tiger and sometimes the Tasmanian Wolf), became extinct during the 20th century. The last known specimen died in the Hobart Zoo on the 7th of September, 1936. It was a carnivorous marsupial mammal and did not have any natural predators. It was hunted to extinction after a bounty was placed on it as a livestock killer.
