Tasmanian Tigers

Thylacinus cynocephalus.

The thylacine is almost certainly gone. I say almost, because reports do come in, and some interesting videos.

However, it is officially listed as "extinct".

The thylacine no longer reproduces as it is extinct.

However, being a mammal, it engaged in sexual reproduction. This animal was a marsupial. Prior to its extinction, the Thylacine had a gestation period of one month, and the young joeys spent another 3-4 months continuing their development in the pouch. Having several joeys in the pouch would weigh the female down, bringing her abdomen almost to ground level, so after this, they were transferred to a den.

Interestingly, the male thylacine was unique for having a pouch, which was used for protecting its reproductive parts when running through thick undergrowth and scrub.

The Tasmanian tiger is more correctly known as the Thylacine.

The female Thylacine was smaller than the male, but apart from that, there was little difference between the two, aside from the obvious difference of male and female reproductive organs.

The Thylacine was a marsupial, and the female therefore had a pouch in which she reared her young. One interesting fact was that the male also had a pouch, but its purpose was to protect its reproductive organs as it ran through the thick bushland in pursuit of its prey.

It's too late to help the Tasmanian Tiger, the correct name for which is the Thylacine. The last known Thylacine died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936. It should not be confused with the Tasmanian devil, which is receiving a lot of help and funding from the government, scientists and conservation groups.

They don't.

Thylacines are extinct.

Prior to their extinction, Thylacines (also known as Tasmanian tigers) lived in grasslands and bushland of Tasmania. There is also fossil evidence indicating that they lived on the Australian mainland.

46 in total.

It is said that the last Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, which died in a 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.

Thylacines are extinct.

Prior to their extinction, however, the females did carry their young in a pouch, like all marsupials.

You cannot.

The Tasmanian tiger, more properly known as the Thylacine, is believed to have become extinct in the twentieth century. The last known specimen died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936.

The Thylacine was a mammal, and all mammals are endothermic. Endothermic is the correct term for "warm blooded".

The Thylacine gave birth to 3-4 offspring - known as joeys - each breeding season.

The young Tasmanian tiger (more correctly known as a thylacine) was taken out of its mother's pouch at around twelve weeks old, and then left in a den. At this stage, just before the joeys were removed, the mother's pouch would be so heavy as to almost be touching the ground. The female continued to nurture the young until they were about nine months old, but by leaving them in the den, she could go and hunt more effectively.

The Tasmanian wolf or Tasmanian tiger, more properly known as the Thylacine, is now extinct. Prior to its extinction, it was a four-legged marsupial which ran and walked on all four legs.

The Thylacine was commonly known as the Tasmanian tiger - a misnomer, because the creature was not a tiger, but a marsupial.

The Tasmanian Tiger, more correctly known as the Thylacine, was semi-nocturnal. Whilst it did most of its hunting at night, it was also active during the day.

The Tasmanian Tiger is related to the Tasmanian Devil. It had Kangaroo like features, too.

Unfortunately, no-one did.

The Tasmanian tiger, more correctly known as the Thylacine, became extinct in 1936.

The Tasmanian tiger, a carnivorous marsupial (dasyurid), more correctly known as the Thylacine was a native animal of Australia. 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, also commonly known as the Tasmanian tiger, was completely natural. This marsupial, the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world, lived in Australia for thousands of years before Man ever arrived. It was the only species of its family 'Thylacinidae' to survive into modern times.
