Tasmanian tigers, also known as Tasmanian wolves or thylacines, hold a special place in the history of conservation. They were the only member of their family, thylacinidae, which made it to modern times. They were strange looking animals, an amalgamation of features from animals we’re more familiar with today. They shared some features with wild dogs, though their bodies were comparatively squat, and they had a series of 15 to 20 stripes along their back half.
