What are some of the thylacine's physical features?
The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, (sometimes also called a Tasmanian wolf) is now extinct. It was about 100cm-110cm in length, with its strong, stiff tail half the length of its body again. It stood about 60cm tall at shoulder height.
Its fur was grey-brown (not orange, as sometimes depicted), and it had up to 16 black or brown stripes on its back, predominantly at the tail end.
Although it moved on four legs, it had strong hind legs shaped a little like those of a kangaroo. A carnivorous marsupial, it was able to open its jaws as wide as a snake can, which is a feat not matched by any other mammal.
Where can I get thylacine Tasmanian tiger fur or just something from a real thylacine?
You cannot.
Thylacines (also known as Tasmanian togers or Tasmanian wolves) are extinct.
If they were not extinct, they would be protected under Australian law, and you would still be unable to get anything with thylacine fur.
Why is the extinct thylacine animal extinct?
The Thylacine was hunted to extinction after a bounty was placed on it, as farmers were concerned about the loss of their livestock.
Scientists have also 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.
Incidentally, Thylacines are truly extinct. Not a single reported sighting has ever been confirmed.
One way would be to put them up for auction on Ebay. Another would be to attend a rock and mineral show in your area. They always have some of these ancient shark teeth for sale at some of the vendor booths. Google 'rock and mineral shows' to find one close to you.

What was the Thylacine's Life Cycle?
Being extinct, there is little known about the life cycle of the Thylacine, also known variously as the Tasmanian Tiger and the Tasmanian wolf.
This animal was a marsupial. Prior to its extinction, the Thylacine was known to have a gestation period of one month. The young spent another 3-4 months continuing their development in the pouch before being transferred to a den. There, they were taught to hunt.
Why was the Tasmanian Tiger hunted?
The Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine, was hunted to extinction because it was seen to be a threat to farmers' livestock. A bounty was placed on the animal for this reason.
Why can Quagga's not be cloned?
A Quagga cannot be cloned because there are not any living animals in its species. The technology has not been invented yet for something to be cloned from DNA after it is extinct.
Did any plants become extinct during the Carboniferous period?
There is no doubt of it. There were probably millions of plant species that came and went during the Carboniferous.
When will human extinction occur?
The human race will not go extinct because of Global Warming. Global Warming is a current threat, but because of the fact many people know about it, people are changing their habits for the better. (Ex; recycling, being aware, reducing their carbon footprints). The human race is not threatened because of Global Warming, but some animal species are as a result of careless actions by humans.
No, extinct means there are no animals of that species still alive. Donkeys are still used regularly on farms, in petting zoos, and in some areas, as transportation.
No, the megalodon no longer exists. This giant shark became extinct approximately 1.5 million years ago. There are some who believe that this prehistoric creature still exists, but there is absolutely no scientific basis for this belief. Those who claim the megalodon still roams the seas can be categorized among those who also believe in Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and the Yeti.

What are the bad things about animal extinction?
some of the bad things are that the Eco-system becomes unbalanced because animals rely on each other for both control in population and for basic survival. Another reason is that we can miss out on many things although the first one is mainly why
Are all adaptations beneficial?
No, like it was the big teeth of saber toothed tiger that dreaded homo sapiens and they did not rest until all of them were wiped out from the face of the earth - adaptation = death.

How the eyes of a trilobite show how it lived?
the eyes are located in the center of its head so it is probebly adapted to walking on the sea floor as well as swimming
What are the means of arc extinction in ACB?
There is a spring charging motor in the ACB. When the motor is supplied from a single phase 230 V, the motor is started and the contact of the ACB are closed keeping the spring fully charged and latched. When there is any over current in all the phases or in any of the phases, the built in over current relay closes its trip circuit and the trip coil unlatch the fully charged spring, then the contacts are opened by the mechanical energy charged in the spring. The arc is extinguished in the medium of normal atmospheric air.
