THE TASMANIAN TIGER

NAME: Thylacine, also known as the "Tasmanian Tiger"
HABBATAT: AUSTRALIA, TASMANIA
EXTINCT OR ALIVE?: Extinct
LARGEST THYLACINE: 30kg (Adult)


The Thylacine, now extinct but still one of the largest carnovores marsupiels.  Official protection of the species by the Tasmanian government was introduced on 10 July 1936, 59 days before the last known specimen died in captivity. Athylacine was reportedly shot and photographed at Mawbanna in 1938. A 1957 sighting from a helicopter could not be confirmed on the ground.  Although the precise reasons for extinction of theThylacine from mainland Australia are not known it appears to have declined as a result of competition with the Dingo and perhaps hunting pressure from humans. The Thylacine became extinct on the Australian mainland not less than 2000 years ago.
This was the last Tasmanian Tiger to have ever lied on this earth again.

Thank you for reading my fact file about this beautiful creature, but sadly extinct.
