The Tasmanian tiger, a carnivorous marsupial (dasyurid), more correctly known as the Thylacine, was never endangered. The various conservation status levels were not in force before it became extinct. It was moved to "extinct" status as a result of being hunted as a possible threat to livestock in Tasmania following European settlement.
