Like kangaroos, wombats and koalas, the Tasmanian tiger (Thylacinus cynocephalus) is a marsupial. It used to inhabit the Australian continent and was also known as Tasmanian wolf. Today, all that is left are descriptions, old photos and film reels and a few mounted animals in natural history collections. Through competition with dogs (dingos) introduced by humans, the Tasmanian tiger went extinct about 80 years ago. The animal shown here lived in the Berlin Zoo until 1904 and became property of the Museum für Naturkunde after its death.
