The world's largest carnivorous marsupial. Possibly extinct, but some believe they might have survived. The Last Tasmanian Tiger on Earth? named Thylacine in 1933.

"An extremely agitated Thylacine. Notice that when rearing up on its hind legs, it often rests the entire heel on the ground in a "plantigrade" stance. This accounts for the long heel mark sometimes seen in its tracks. This doesn't usually occur in dogs, as they walk primarily on just their toes".
