Engraving of the Tasmanian wolf
Numéro d’image : 11916487
| Nineteenth century engraving of the Tasmanian wolf or Thylacine,Thylacinus cynocephalus. It is the largest living carnivorous marsupial. This pouched "wolf" resembles a dog in appearance and size,yet is more closely related to the kangaroo. Neither is it a wolf. Absurdly,it was even named "tiger" because of the transverse bands across its body. Confined in range to the island of Tasmania,its natural habitat is open plains where it can hunt kangaroos and wallabies. However,farming of this land forced the Tasmanian wolf into the forests. When it took to eating sheep it was hunted,almost to extinction. Only a few wolves remain in remote mountain regions. We know little of its biology | |
