The Tasmanian tiger (Thylacine) is now extinct. It had fur that was grey-brown (not orange, as sometimes depicted) and ranging from a greyish rabbit-like colour, or sandy to chocolate brown. The coat colour was modified by white flashes on the face, below the eyes and on the muzzle, as well as a white chest patch.
It had up to 16 black or brown stripes on its back, predominantly at the tail end. These extended from just behind the shoulders to the base of the tail. Despite what's shown in some reconstructions, these stripes always ended before the tail, the idea that they extended beyond this point stems from the fact that many of the surviving photos show zoo specimens in poor condition, and whose tail vertebrae were visible beneath the skin, thereby giving the impression of stripes.
