It fed on native animals such as wallabies, wombats, possums, birds and other prey smaller than itself.The Thylacine sometimes scavenged for food, and was known to feed on the carcasses of rabbits and wallabies.Some studies have suggested that the animal may have hunted in small family groups, with the main group herding prey in the general direction of an individual waiting in ambush.
