Thylacine

Postby hedgehog101 » Mon Jan 03, 2011 7:44 am

here's an animal I love.

The thylacine or tasmanian tiger was native to continental Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea, it is thought to have become extinct in the 20th century. It was the last extant member of its genus, Thylacinus, although several related species have been found in the fossil record dating back to the early Miocene.Intensive hunting encouraged by bounties is generally blamed for its extinction, but other contributory factors may have been disease, the introduction of dogs, and human encroachment into its habitat. The thylacine resembled a large, short-haired dog with a stiff tail which smoothly extended from the body in a way similar to that of a kangaroo.The thylacine was able to open its jaws to an unusual extent: up to 120 degrees. The last one was named Benjamin.
