Tasmanian Tigers

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, so it would have needed to run fast to catch its prey. 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.

The Tasmanian wolf, more properly known as the Thylacine, or even Tasmanian tiger, is now extinct. It had fur that 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.

Generally, Thylacines (as Tasmanian tigers were properly called) did not make any sound. They were heard, on occasion, to make a quick yipping sound.

Tasmanian tigers were not tigers, so they did not make a tiger-like growl.

Extinction of the Tasmanian Tiger (Thylacine) notwithstanding, humans are taller than this marsupial ever was. Thylacines stood between 35 and 60cm high at the shoulder.

The cause of Earth's tides is gravitational pull from the Moon and the Sun. The Moon's influence on the tide is far, far, stronger than the Sun's, however. The gravity pulls up on the water on the part of the Earth closest to the Moon, as well as causing a bulge on the exact opposite part of the bulge. As the Earth rotates, the location of high tide moves around the world. In every 24 hour cycle, or every full rotation of Earth, there are two high tides and two low tides.

The Tasmanian tiger, more correctly known as the Thylacine, was hunted to extinction because farmers feared they were a great to their stock animals. Consequently, the Tasmanian government offered a bounty on every dead Thylacine, and this encouraged hunting.

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.

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.

Being extinct, the Tasmanian Tiger, more properly known as the Thylacine, does not have a viable life cycle.

This animal was a marsupial. Prior to its extinction, the Thylacine had a gestation period of one month, and the young spent another 3-4 months continuing their development in the pouch.

Thylacine, which is the correct name for the Tasmanian tiger, is pronounced as follows:

Soft "th" as in 'theme' not 'the', so "thy" to rhyme with "sky"

"la" is just "la"

"cine" is pronounced as "seen"

So the whole word is pronounced as thy / la /seen.

The Tasmanian tiger, more properly known as a Thylacine, was a carnivorous marsupial; therefore, it needed to have very sharp teeth.

The introduction of dogs is not a major reason for the extinction of the Thylacine. When a bounty was placed on the Thylacine for fear it might be a sheep-killer and a danger to other livestock, men would have taken their dogs with them to help hunt down the Thylacine. Without the aid of dogs, it is unlikely this elusive creature would have been found by the Europeans, who were (and are) clumsy hunters when it comes to Australian native wildlife.

Tasmanian tigers, more properly known as Thylacines, are extinct, so they do not live anywhere now.

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. It did not live in the tropical rainforest.

yes there has been reports of small groups of thylacine, in the nortern glacial regions of Narnia.

it should be Beijing,zhuang,or europe

Diseases did not kill the Tasmanian tiger. Man did. Human beings hunted them to extinction.

While it's true that humans had a devastating impact on the Thylacine, during the early Twentieth Century wild populations were ravaged by a disease similar to Canine Distemper, this also eventually found its way to many the captive specimens in the world's zoos, wiping out the specimens in both London and Washington. It was as much this as the human toll that led to the species decline.

Thylacines are extinct. Prior to their extinction, the young joeys crawled into the pouch to continue their development, having been born undeveloped like other marsupials. The joeys were then carried in the pouch until they were old enough to be left in a den.

Male Thylacines were unusual in that they, too, had a pouch. This was to protect their reproductive organs as they ran through the thick undergrowth.
