    Thylacinus cynocephalus, commonly known as the Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf, was a carnivorous marsupial native to Tasmania, New Guinea, and the Australian mainland. It was the largest known carnivorous marsupial of modern times. It is characterized by its striped lower back, elongated body, and head with a pointed snout, somewhat resembling a large dog. The Thylacinus cynocephalus became extinct in the 20th century due to intensive hunting, diseases, dogs, and human encroachment into their habitat.
