The correct name for the Tasmanian wolf is Thylacine. Also known as the Tasmanian tiger (and not to be confused with the Tasmanian devil), there is no collective name for a group of thylacines. These animals are solitary, so groups of thylacines were unknown. However, given the fact that they were carnivorous hunters, sometimes the term "pack" was applied.

∙ 10y agoThe habitat of the now-extinct Tasmanian wolf, more properly known as the Thylacine or Tasmanian tiger, was open bushland such as dry eucalypt forest or grasslands or even open wetlands.
From the time of European settlement, the Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, was only known on the Australian island state of Tasmania. However, fossil evidence from a long time ago indicates they once also lived on the Australian mainland and in New Guinea.
The last known thylacine died in the Hobart Zoo in September 1936.
