| - The thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus), also known as the Tasmanian tiger, isn't a tiger at all, but a marsupial, like a kangaroo, only it was a carnivore. It belongs to a group of similar carnivorous marsupials called the thylacinids, which appeared in the fossil record during the Miocene. It went extinct sometime in the 19th century because of European settlers moving into Australia, New Zealand, and Tasmania. The thylacine lived in Tasmania. Other thylacines:
- The Thylacine was a medium-sized mammal who lived during the ice ages.
- Thylacines are wolf- or hyena-like marsupial carnivores. Feral and untameable, thylacines can be vicious predators.
- Thylacines are a marsupial mammal native to continental Australia and surrounding areas. They are known colloquially as Tasmanian Tigers.
- The Thylacine is a marsupial that is now considered extinct. It is commonly known as the Tasmanian Tiger or Tasmanian Wolf.
- The Thylacine was a specie of Thylacinus, and native to continental Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea.
- A thylacine is a large species of modern carnivorous marsupial of Tasmania and Australia, similar in size to a large dog. It was on a verge to extinction in the early 20th century, but was protected in 1931, while it was extinct in the wild in 1930, it was reintroduced back to the wild in 1943 and it was successful, and was introduced to mainland Australia in 1963, so it is no longer an endangered species. It is also known as the Tasmanian tiger because of its stripes on its back. Its favorite food are small wombats, mice, rats, feral cats, wallabies, kangaroos, young jack's giant wombats, demon ducks, small lizards, and other small land animals. It lives in Tasmania and Australian areas including Eastern, Southeastern, Central, and Southern Australia.
- Since the late 1800's, a bounty was placed on thylacines after they were blamed for attacking sheep. In 1909, the bounty was ended, and the thylacine became very rare. The species was sought by zoos around the world. The last wild thylacine was killed in 1930, and the last known thylacine (named Benjamin) died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936. There have also been plans by scientists to clone thylacines back to life using the DNA of frozen thylacine embryos.
- This animal is part of the Predator DLC Pack that you get in the Insane Edition or Deluxe Edition DLC. The Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) was declared extinct in 1936, however there are reports of people seeing Thylacines each year, mostly on the island of Tasmania.
