The Tasmanian tiger, more correctly known as the Thylacine, was hunted to extinction because farmers feared they were a great to their stock animals. Consequently, the Tasmanian government offered a bounty on every dead Thylacine, and this encouraged hunting.
For safety, the Thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, tended to remain in the underbrush and dense bushland. Unfortunately, this was not enough to secure it against man's incessant need to hunt and destroy.
Tasmanian tigers, or thylacines, went extinct in the early 20th century.
The Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian Tiger (though not related to tigers at all) became extinct because the European settlers saw it as a threat to their livestock and petitioned for a bounty to be placed on it. This enabled them to freely hunt the animal, leading directly to its extinction.
No. Tasmanian tigers only lived in the continent of Australia and part of New Guinea.

Both wallabies and Tasmanian Tigers (Thylacines) are mammals, specifically marsupials. Tasmanian Tigers are believed to be extinct, and many species of wallaby are heading in the same direction, due to man's interference.

Tasmanian tigers, more properly known as Thylacines, were at the top of the food chain. They had no natural predators.

There are not, nor have ever been, Tasmanian tigers in Florida. Fossil evidence indicates that Tasmanian tigers only lived in the continent of Australia and part of New Guinea.
