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.
