You can no longer find a thylacine, as this animal has been officially declared extinct.
Prior to its extinction, the thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tigewas old be found in 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.

The Thylacine is now extinct. When the Thylacine was still in existence, the female was a dedicated mother, like all marsupials. The young Thylacine joeys stayed in the mother's pouch until they were old enough to be transferred to a den, where the mother continued to look after them.
No. The Tasmanian Coat of Arms was approved by King George V in 1917, prior to the extinction of the Thylacine. The Thylacine is believed to have been included because this animal was endemic to Tasmania, and it was a belated recognition of the uniqueness of the Thylacine. The bounty scheme, which directly led to the extinction of the Thylacine, only ended in 1909.
The Tasmanian tiger's proper name was the Thylacine. This creature is now extinct. The lifespan of the Thylacine was around 7 years. The longest recorded lifespan of the thylacine was 8 years and 131 days. This was achieved by a thylacine in the London Zoo in 1884.
