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.
