Thylacine — size comparison — facts and sources

The thylacine resembled a dog in outline but was a marsupial. Dark stripes covered its rear back, and a long, rather stiff tail distinguished it from canids. It was a predator inhabiting Tasmania’s forests and open country.

The last known individual died in Hobart Zoo. The illustrated animal is a reconstruction based on preserved specimens, photographs and films; some details remain interpretative.
