thepredatorblog: The thylacine or Tasmanian tiger as it was commonly referred, was the largest known carnivorous marsupial of modern times. It’s likely to have become near-extinct in mainland Australia about 2,000 years ago, and possibly earlier in New Guinea, however, it survived into the 1930s on the island state of Tasmania.
