Best Answer

The Tasmanian wolf, also called the Tasmanian tiger, but more correctly known as the Thylacine, had a number of interesting adaptations:

  • It was a carnivorous marsupial, and able to open its jaws as wide as a snake can, something no other mammal can do.
  • Although it moved on four legs, it had strong hind legs shaped a little like those of a kangaroo. This gave it extra speed and agility for hunting prey.
  • It had up to 16 black or brown stripes on its back, predominantly at the tail end, which offered good camouflage in the grasslands and bushland it inhabited.
  • The male had a pouch to protect his reproductive organs as he ran through the thick bushland in which he lived.
