The thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, was a carnivorous marsupial with canine-like features and pack-hunting behavior, distinguished by its striped back and specialized pouch. It went extinct on the Australian mainland due to competition with dingoes and later disappeared from Tasmania because of human hunting and habitat loss, with the last known individual dying in 1936. The species’ history underscores the consequences of biodiversity loss and highlights the importance of modern conservation efforts.
