The Thylacine, more correctly known as the Tasmanian Tiger or Tasmanian Wolf, became extinct during the 20th century, and thus no real research was done into its speed or other habits. Because it was a carnivorous predator, it could be assumed it needed to be a fast runner in order to hunt effectively and to catch its prey.

The correct name for the Tasmanian wolf was Thylacine. Its ecosystem varied. It was known to live in open bushland such as dry eucalypt forest or grasslands or sometimes the edge of open wetlands.

Officially, none.

There have been no confirmed sightings of the Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, since the last one died in Hobart Zoo in September 1936.

The Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus, also known as the Tasmanian Tiger and sometimes the Tasmanian Wolf), became extinct during the 20th century. The last known specimen died in the Hobart Zoo on the 7th of September, 1936. It was a carnivorous marsupial mammal and did not have any natural predators. It was hunted to extinction after a bounty was placed on it as a livestock killer. There is disputed evidence that a very small number may yet still exist in the Tasmanian wilderness, but nobody has seen, photographed or trapped one. A recent attempt was made to clone one, but failed due to the DNA being of insufficient quality.

From the time of the earliest European settlement, the Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine, was only known on the Australian island of Tasmania. However, fossil evidence and Aboriginal paintings indicate the Thylacine was once widespread throughout the Australian continent and the island of New Guinea.

"Tasmanian wolf" is a nickname for the now extinct Thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger. When they were alive, prior to the 1930s, the longest known life span of a thylacine in captivity was eight and a half years.

The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, (sometimes also called a Tasmanian wolf) 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.

The Tasmanian Tiger, properly called the Thylacine, was at the top of the food chain, and thus did not have predators. (Young Thylacines could be subject to predation by Tasmanian Devils and birds of prey.) However, once a bounty was placed on them amid fears that they were a threat to livestock, they gained a new predator - Man.

No. Scientific and fossil evidence indicates the Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, was a solitary animal that lived and hunted alone.Suggestions have been made that the Thylacine hunted in packs for larger prey, but this is only a theory.

This is subject to some debate. Generally, most authorities consider the Tasmanian tiger extinct, but there are persistent unconfirmed reports of sightings, both in Tasmania and in nearby parts of the Australian mainland.

This animal is also known as the Tasmanian wolf, or the thylacine. On the news, its said that the Tasmanian tiger is extinct many years ago. But the scientist found a Tasmanian tiger. They said that this is the first time an animal that is extinct has come back to life.

There is highly disputed evidence that a very small number may yet still exist in the Tasmanian wilderness, but nobody has seen, photographed or trapped one.

The correct name for the Tasmanian wolf is Thylacine. Also known as the Tasmanian tiger (and not to be confused with the Tasmanian devil), there is no collective name for a group of thylacines. These animals are solitary, so groups of thylacines were unknown. However, given the fact that they were carnivorous hunters, sometimes the term "pack" was applied.

The Thylacine was known from the time of European settlement in Tasmania (the southern island state of Australia), which occurred in 1804.

The Aborigines knew about them for thousands of years but did not hunt them to extinction as the Europeans did. However, by bringing the dingo with them from Asia, Aborigines did contribute to the extinction of the thylacine on the Australian mainland.

It is said that the last Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, which died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936, died partially from starvation and partially from exposure. Not enough was known about the needs of this native marsupial, and it was, quite simply, not cared for properly.

Neither. The Tasmanian tiger (actually the thylacine) was a marsupial; that puts it in whole separate subclass from dogs and cats, which are placentals. The thylacine occupied the ecological niche which is filled in other places by placental predators. All of the animals mentioned are mammals, but that's about as closely as they're related.

The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, was about 100cm-110cm in length, with its tail half the length of its body again. The largest measured specimen was 9.5 ft from nose to tail (289cm - just short of 3 m). Adults stood about 40-60 cm at the shoulder and weighed 15-30 kilograms, or 33 to 66 lb. The males were larger than females on average.

The Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, 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.

Tasmanian Tigers lived on the Australian Continent and when people inhabited it in 1800's then the people feared the tigers so they hunted it to extinction. If people hadn't come, they would of survived. Hope this helps :)

The Tasmanian devil is at the top of the food chain in Australia, and therefore has no natural predators.

The Tasmanian Tiger, properly known as a Thylacine, is extinct, so does not live in any biome. When still living, the Thylacine lived in eucalyptus bushland, wetlands and grassland areas.
