The thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, was a carnivorous marsupial native to Tasmania, Australia, and New Guinea. During its existence, it faced threats primarily from humans, including hunting and habitat destruction. While it had no natural predators in its environment, larger predatory animals such as dingoes could potentially compete with or pose a threat to young or weakened individuals. However, the thylacine was primarily at risk from human activities rather than natural predation.

The introduction of dogs is not a major reason for the extinction of the Thylacine.

Without the aid of dogs, it is unlikely this elusive creature would have been found by the Europeans, who were (and are) clumsy hunters when it comes to Australian native wildlife.
