The "Tasmanian wolf" was also known as the Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine. This marsupial, which is now extinct, was about 100cm-110cm in length, with its tail half the length of its body again.
The largest measured specimen was 9.5 ft from nose to tail (289cm - just short of 3 m). Adults stood about 40-60 cm at the shoulder and weighed 15-30 kilograms, or 33 to 66 lb. The males were larger than females on average.
