The Tasmanian tiger would stand a good chance of survival today, were it still in existence. As a native marsupial of Australia, it would be protected by law. There is a great deal of wilderness remaining in Tasmania - and many people believe the elusive Thylacine could still exist, hiding in the wilds of Tasmania.

Did Humans destroy the Tasmanian tiger's habitat?

No. Humans destroyed the Tasmanian tiger. The Thylacine, which is the proper name for the Tasmanian tiger, was a marsupial which became extinct in the 1930s due to a bounty being offered for every adult and joey killed. The habitat itself has suffered some clearing for agriculture and urbanisation, but much of Tasmania remains wilderness, and people still speculate about whether some individual Thylacines could still be surviving, hidden, in this wilderness today.

Why is the thylacine wolf extinct?

First, they are not a canines, they are marsupials. Their proper name is Thylacine, Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf, but never "thylacine wolf".Second, Tasmanian farmers wiped them out because they believed the animals were a threat to their livestock, and a bounty was placed on the thylacine.There were no natural predators of the Thylacine, as it was at the top of the food chain.An interesting point is that scientists have recently proven that, prior to its extinction, the Thylacine had limited genetic diversity. There is every chance that, were Thylacines still in existence today, they would most likely be facing similar problems currently faced by the Tasmanian devil.
