Best Answer

The Tasmanian wolf, more correctly known as the Thylacine (and sometimes the Tasmanian tiger), is believed to be extinct. This is the only reason it cannot open its mouth. Prior to its extinction, this animal was able to open its jaws and mouth wider than a snake can - a feat unmatched by any other mammal.

What do you call a group of Tasmanian wolves?

The correct name for the Tasmanian wolf is Thylacine. Also known as the Tasmanian tiger (and not to be confused with the Tasmanian devil), there is no collective name for a group of thylacines. These animals are solitary, so groups of thylacines were unknown. However, given the fact that they were carnivorous hunters, sometimes the term "pack" was applied.
