Tasmanian Tiger or Thylacine

Thylacine in cageListed as presumed extinct under both the Federal and State Threatened Species Protection Acts. This means Thylacine have not been officially sighted in the wild or captivity for at least 50 years. The last known record of a Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus) was from a Tasmanian zoo, where it died in 1936.

What do we know about the Thylacine?

Much of what we know about the Thylacine comes from historical records, personalised accounts collected by zoologist Eric Guiler in the 1970s and 1980s or from studying museum collections. Much of its biology may never be known now.

We do know that it used to be widespread on the mainland about 7,000 years ago and has probably been extinct there for 2,000 years. This has been attributed to the competition of dingoes, which were introduced at least 8,000 years ago to the mainland.
