Robert Paddle (2000, p. 4), in his book: The Last Tasmanian Tiger, quotes an average direct length for an adult male thylacine as 1.63m, and an adult female as 1.54m. The average male body length measurement as cited by Paddle is consistent with the sample group.
Thylacine is the real name for Tasmanian tiger. It was the largest known carnivorous marsupial of modern times. It is believed to have become extinct in the 20th century. Its dwelling is in Australia and New Guinea.n 7 September 1936 the worldâs last captive thylacine or Tasmanian tiger died in the Hobart Zoo. The thylacine is the only mammal to have become extinct in Tasmania since European settlement. I have spent a significant part of my life in northern Tasmanian, where many sightings of the tiger have occurred since 1936.
