Tasmanian Tigers

on four legs

They are all extinct.

This isn't known with any certainty. There was very little study of the animal in life and the vast majority of what there was was undertaken with captive specimens. Naturally this gave little indication of how a wild animal might have behaved.

Also in the latter years of human contact with the species they were subject to an as yet unclassified but virulent disease, which spread through and devastated both the captive and wild populations. Which, it has been suggested, may have had a profound effect on the animal's behavior. For example leaving them weakened and less vigorous than a healthy animal might be. It has been suggested that the often repeated anecdotes about thylacines giving up or even dying almost immediately on capture, stem from encounters with affected individuals, again giving a distorted picture of their behavior.

There is of course anecdotal evidence from the bushmen and trappers who witnessed the animals in the wild, though it is contradictory. It has variously portrayed the animal as being very wary to extremely bold, and from relatively placid to highly aggressive. Amongst this though there does seem to be a fairly consistent trend suggesting that on capture the thylacine was fairly easy to handle.

Sadly with the almost certain loss of the species and of those who experienced it first hand, that's about all we're ever likely to know.

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 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.

Tiger snakes in Tasmania can reach between 1 m and 1.9 m in length.

The Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian Tiger, was not an endangered species in Tasmania at that time (1909), but it was very rare on the Australian mainland. Many people currently believe the animal is not extinct at all due to recent, but so far inconclusive, potential evidence on video.

The thylacine, now extinct, was a mammal. It was a marsupial, or pouched mammal. It was also in the group own as Dasyurids, which refers to the carnivorous marsupials.

The thylacine is the Australian marsupial commonly known as the Tasmanian tiger, or sometimes the Tasmanian wolf. It was Australia's largest carnivorous marsupial. The animal was native to Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea, and is feared extinct since 1936. Both male and female thylacines had pouches and a striped coat, and were otherwise physically similar to a dog or small wolf. The female's pouch was for raising the young joeys, whilst the male's was to protect his reproductive organs whilst running through the thick bushland.

for their meat

That would be the Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger.

Largely unknown, there's anecdotal as well as anatomical evidence which suggests its bite, like the distantly related Tasmanian Devil, was unusually powerful.

How it translated this into its hunting technique is not known and is the subject of ongoing study.

The Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf, was last seen in Tasmania in 1936. The last known specimen died in the Hobart Zoo, and no more have been sighted in the wild.

Being extinct, Tasmanian tigers no longer breathe at all.

This animal, more properly known as the thylacine, was a mammal, so it did breathe air using lungs.

The Tasmanian wolf, more correctly known as the Thylacine (and sometimes the Tasmanian tiger), is believed to be extinct. This is the only reason it cannot open its mouth. Prior to its extinction, this animal was able to open its jaws and mouth wider than a snake can - a feat unmatched by any other mammal.

The proper name for the Tasmanian wolf was Thylacine. It was also known as the Tasmanian tiger.

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 no longer reproduce are they are now extinct. Being marsupials, the baby Thylacine joeys would have been no larger than about 2cm long at birth. Most of their development occurred in the female's pouch.

The Tasmanian colonial government introduced a reward, or bounty, for the slaughter of the Thylacine (also known as a Tasmanian tiger or a Tasmanian wolf) in 1830. Another bounty was offered in 1888, and this later bounty scheme only ended in 1909.

scientist say that Tasmanian Tigers have lived on earth around 12-30 million years before they became extinxt

Usually late spring to summer (around November and December, sometimes January, at the very latest February)

Never more than 60 degrees as this is the point where it would dislocate. Figures given of 90 or even 120 degrees are totally unfounded and, like so much of what's reported about the thylacine, should be totally ignored.

The proper name for the Tasmanian tiger was Thylacine. This carnivorous marsupial, which is now extinct, is believed to have had excellent eyesight. Acute vision is necessary for predators.
