From the time of the earliest European settlement, the Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine, was only known on the Australian island of Tasmania. However, fossil evidence and Aboriginal paintings indicate the Thylacine was once widespread throughout the Australian continent and the island of New Guinea.

The correct name for the Tasmanian Tiger or Tasmanian wolf is Thylacine, and it is now extinct. It was a carnivorous marsupial which tended to be solitary. Scientific and fossil evidence indicates the Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, was a solitary animal that lived and hunted alone.

Interestingly, this indicates that the nickname "Tasmanian wolf" is a complete misnomer: wolves are pack animals which tend to hunt in groups.
