Thylacine

A thylacine is a large species of modern carnivorous marsupial of Tasmania and Australia, similar in size to a large dog. It was on a verge to extinction in the early 20th century, but was protected in 1931, while it was extinct in the wild in 1930, it was reintroduced back to the wild in 1943 and it was successful, and was introduced to mainland Australia in 1963, so it is no longer an endangered species. It is also known as the Tasmanian tiger because of its stripes on its back. Its favorite food are small wombats, mice, rats, feral cats, wallabies, kangaroos, young jack's giant wombats, demon ducks, small lizards, and other small land animals. It lives in Tasmania and Australian areas including Eastern, Southeastern, Central, and Southern Australia.
