The Tasmanian wolf, or Thylacine, (also called a Tasmanian tiger) had grey-brown fur (not orange, as sometimes depicted), and it had up to 16 black or brown stripes on its back, predominantly at the tail end.
Although it moved on four legs, it had strong hind legs shaped a little like those of a kangaroo. A carnivorous marsupial, it was able to open its jaws as wide as a snake can, which is a feat not matched by any other mammal.
Both the male and the female had a pouch. The female's pouch was to protect the young joeys as they developed, and the male's was to protect his reproductive organs as he raced through the thick undergrowth.
