| The
Tasmanian tiger lives in Tasmania and off Australia's southeast
coast. There are very few left on Earth. They are also called
Tasmanian wolves or thylacines. They aren't really tigers or
a wolves. They are just called that because they have short gray
or yellowish-brown fur and dark stripes across their back. |
These tigers are about 5 feet long and 2 to 3 feet
tall. They have strong legs, a slim bodies, and rounded ears.
Tasmanian tigers eat kangaroos and wallabies. Since thylacine
are marsupials, they carry their young in their pouches. |
