When did the Tasmanian tiger first become endangered?

The Tasmanian tiger, a carnivorous marsupial (dasyurid), more correctly known as the Thylacine was a native animal of Australia. It was never endangered, as the various conservation status levels were not in force before it became extinct. It was moved to "extinct" status as a result of being hunted as a possible threat to livestock in Tasmania following European settlement. The last known Tasmanian Tiger died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936, and there have been no confirmed sightings since then.

Do tigers live in Australia?

In zoos perhaps, but not in the wild. No they live in India and Siberia. Sadly, many species of tiger are endangered. The only tigers you will find in Australia are in zoos. There are no native cats in Australia at all. The confusion may arise because of the animal (now extinct) which was known as the Tasmanian tiger, but which was not related to tigers at all. Its correct name was Thylacine, and it was a marsupial, unlike tigers, which are placental mammals. It was only known as the Tasmanian tiger because of its distinctive stripes.
