The Tasmanian wolf, which is believed to be extinct, was not a wolf. Although also known as the Tasmanian tiger, its proper name was Thylacine. The thylacine was a dasyurid, meaning it belonged to the small group of carnivorous marsupials. The stripes enabled this marsupial to camouflage, allowing for more effective hunting and ambushing of prey.
