The Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) was hunted almost to extinction due to its threat to livestock such as sheep and poultry. They were protected by law before it was too late in June 1941 from where their numbers recovered sufficiently for them to be classified as "secure".

More recently, they are threatened by a fatal form of cancer called "Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD)" which has killed more than 90% of adults in high density areas and 45% of adults in medium to low density areas. As of May 2009, the Tasmanian Devil was upgraded to the "Endangered Species" list.

Another 2000 Tasmanian devils are estimated to be the victims of cars each year.

The Tasmanian devil, the largest living marsupial carnivore, earned its common name because of its blood-curdling nocturnal screams.

They are not related to the Tasmanian Tiger.

The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, lived in dry eucalyptus bushland of Tasmania, wetlands and grassland. Fossil evidence suggests that it may once have been widespread throughout the Australian mainland, and even the island of New Guinea, but no records exist to suggest its preferred habitat in those regions.

Tasmanian tigers are now extinct. However, they were marsupials, which meant that the young were born undeveloped and suckled on mothers' milk whilst in a pouch.

The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, was believed to bear around three young, once a year, during the winter-spring breeding season. As she had four teats, the female could carry up to four young in her pouch. The pouch could expand to the size where, with nearly-grown young in it, it would reach almost to the ground.

The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, was not a tiger, but a carnivorous marsupial. It was not related to the tiger in any way, being a marsupial, but it had a vague resemblance to a small tiger by its colouring. 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.

The name of "tiger" was first suggested by Dutch crewman Jacobszoon who was aboard Abel Tasman's ship when he discovered Tasmania in 1642, naming it Van Diemen's Land. As several crew explored the island, Jacobszoon described seeing "footprints not ill-resembling the claws of a [tyger]". Once convicts arrived in Tasmania after 1804, they referred to the "native tiger", and the name grew from there, even though early free settlers referred to the "marsupial wolf".

The Tasmanian tiger, more correctly known as the Thylacine, was known up until 1936. This is when the last known Thylacine died in captivity. There have been no confirmed sightings since then.

The Tasmanian tiger is not a tiger, but a carnivorous marsupial (dasyurid), more correctly known as the Thylacine. It 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, and there have been no confirmed sightings since then.

The Thylacine, sometimes known as the Tasmanian tiger, is now extinct. It was a carnivorous marsupial, or dasyurid, native to Australia. It had an unusually large gape, and was able to open its mouth up to 120 degrees.

The Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, is now extinct, so there is little information available about it.

Specimens which were weighed averaged between 15kg and 27kg for the heaviest.

It could be argued that the Tasmanian Wolf (more properly known as the Thylacine) has failed to adapt to its surroundings - it is now believed to be extinct.

The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, is no longer living anywhere, as far as is known. It was found in Australia, specifically on the island state of Tasmania, although ancient fossil remains have also been found on the mainland.

It was not a tiger, but a striped marsupial. Believed to be extinct since the 1930s, reports still come in (unconfirmed) of its continued existence.

When still living, the Thylacine lived in eucalyptus bushland, wetlands and grassland areas.

The last known specimen of the Tasmanian Tiger, more properly known as the Thylacine, died in the Hobart Zoo on 7 September 1936. However, since that time, there have been numerous unconfirmed "sightings" over the years, so some hopeful people remain optimistic that the thylacine is not truly extinct. It should be noted that not a single reported sighting has ever been confirmed.

Being an extinct animal, it no longer sounds like anything at all.

More properly known as the Thylacine, this creature was only ever heard to make light "yipping" noises, and then fairly rarely.

No animal is truly vicious, although some are more likely to be aggressive than others. The Tasmanian tiger was hunted to extinction because they were blamed for hunting livestock.

However, there is not enough knowledge of their hunting strategies to determine whether they killed prey in a quick or a slow manner.

The Tasmanian Tiger (more correctly known as the Thylacine) was hunted to extinction because farmers were concerned about the threat to their livestock. The last one died in the Hobart Zoo because the needs of this animal were not understood, and they were not given sufficient shelter for the cold climate.

The Tasmanian tiger is now extinct.

From the time of European settlement, the Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, was only known on the Australian island state of Tasmania. However, fossil evidence from a long time ago indicates they once also lived on the Australian mainland and in New Guinea.

The habitat of the thylacine was open bushland such as dry eucalypt forest or grasslands or sometimes the edge of open wetlands.

The Tasmanian tiger, which was a marsupial and not a tiger, was believed to be able to swim.

Well, Yes

If we find some droppings of it or a hair from it we can use its DNA to bring it back to life though all of the ones brang back to life will have the same personality, behavior etc.

By the way i don't think this animal is extinct!

The Tasmanian Tiger, properly known as a Thylacine, is extinct. When still living, the Thylacine lived in eucalyptus bushland, the edges of wetlands and grassland areas.
