Finding Out About: Thylacines

On 7 September 1936, the world's last thylacine died, at Hobart Zoo. Unit that day, thylacines were the largest carnivorous marsupials in the world. Why were thylacines known as Tasmanian tigers? Why did the thylacine become extinct? And what are scientists doing to try to bring it back from extinction?
