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.
Surf on over to the nice article (with good pics) posted by our friends at Wikipedia and have a read. It'll be worth it. A link is provided to get you started.
The Thylacine had a number of adaptations which enabled it to survive effectively in its native habitat.
The correct name for the Tasmanian wolf is Thylacine.
Also known as the Tasmanian tiger (and not to be confused with the Tasmanian devil), this marsupial had several unique features which made it particularly suited to its environment.
The Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine, is believed to be extinct, as there have been no sightings since the last one died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936.
However, the Thylacine had a number of interesting features.
No. The habitat of the Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine, was dry eucalyptus forests and bushland, wetland areas, and grasslands.
No. The Tasmanian tiger, more correctly known as the Thylacine, is extinct.
It was born live.
No. Tasmanian devils do not live in the swamp. Their habitat is eucalypt forest, woodlands, heath and farmland.
The Thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) did not hate the Tasmanian devil. Tasmanian Devil and the Thylacine both occupied the top of the food chain, competing for live prey, until the Thylacine became extinct in 1936.

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 survived uptil 1933
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.
The Tasmanian wolf, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, but 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. Although known as Tasmanian wolf and/or Tasmanian tiger, this creature was neither a wolf nor a tiger, but a marsupial.
Tasmanian tigers, or Thylacines, are extinct now, but they tended to be solitary animals, not roaming in packs.
The Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, was in existence right up until the last known specimen died in the 1930s.
