The last images of the "Tasmanian Tiger" nearing extinction. Biologist David Fleay's haunting photos at a Hobart zoo in 1922 are known around the world. Able to open its jaws to an unusual 80 degrees, the thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus ‘dog-headed pouched one’) was the largest carnivorous marsupial of modern times. Hunted to the brink of extinction as a "sheep-killer," a 2011 study revealed its jaws too weak to kill sheep. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/14730055 Tasmanian Tiger Art, Thylacine Art, Uk Nature, Tasmanian Tiger, Haunting Photos, Australian Wildlife, Extinct Animals, Tiger Art, Dinosaur Art
