@steven_de_groot: The Tasmanian tiger with @colossal Meet the Tasmanian tiger also called the thylacine, a striped marsupial predator that once roamed Australia and Tasmania. It looked like a mix between a wolf, a fox, and a tiger, but it was actually more closely related to kangaroos. Known for the dark stripes across its back and its unusually wide jaw, the thylacine was one of the top predators in Tasmania for thousands of years. But after European settlement, hunting, habitat loss, and disease pushed it to extinction. The last known Tasmanian tiger died in captivity in 1936 Colossal scientists are working to bring them back.
