What does Thylacinus cynocephalus mean?

Answer 1

Thylacinus cynocephalus is the scientific name for the carnivorous marsupial known as the "Tasmanian Wolf" (or Tasmanian Tiger, because of stripes on its back). It is generally considered extinct, although with unconfirmed sightings into the 21st Century. Like many rare Tasmanian animals and plants, it was adversely affected by the human introduction of competing animals, mostly dogs.
