The Australian tiger (Thylacinus cynocephalus australius) is the largest known carnivorous marsupial of future times. It is commonly known as the Australian wolf. It is native to Australia (because the thylacine population spread across Australia). It was one of the two last extant members of its family, Thylacinidae; specimens of other members of the family have been found in the fossil record dating back to the late Anambrian. It also evolved from the Tasmanian tiger in the early Anambrian (4 million years from now).
