Why is Tasmanian Wolf endangered?

Answer 1

The Tasmanian tiger is not a tiger, but a carnivorous marsupial (dasyurid), more correctly known as the Thylacine. It was never endangered, as 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. The last known Tasmanian Tiger died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936, and there have been no confirmed sightings since then.

Answer 2

The Tasmanian wolf, more correctly known as the Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, is now extinct. Its extinction occurred because the government put a bounty on the capture and killing of these creatures, believing them to be a threat to livestock.

Answer 3

Tasmanian tigers, or Thylacines, are believed to be extinct, so they are not dangerous. They never posed any danger to people, but settlers were concerned about the threat they posed to poultry and livestock.

Answer 4

The Tasmanian Tiger, more correctly known as the thylacine, is extinct.

It should not be confused with the Tasmanian devil, which is endangered.
