Is the Tasmanian Wolf a wolf?

In: Tasmanian Tigers [Edit categories]

Answer:

No. The Tasmanian wolf was not a wolf. It is sometimes called a Tasmanian tiger, but it was not a tiger either. There are no native wolves or tigers in Australia.

The correct name for this creature is Thylacine. Now extinct, the Thylacine was a carnivorous marsupial in the family as the Tasmanian Devil.
