Now extinct, the Tasmanian wolf, also called the Tasmanian tiger, was once hunted as a pest throughout Tasmania and in parts of Australia. The last known wild specimen was shot in 1930. The last captive specimen died in 1936. Although the thylacine, a marsupial, is not a true wolf, it occupied much of the same predatory niche as modern wolves. When compared with the wolf, this species is an excellent example of convergent evolution.nnSpecifications:nn1:1 scalenPolyurethane resin castn2-part skull (separate cranium & jaw)nnSkull Length 20.9 cm (8 in.)nnSkull Width 11.7 cm (4.6 in.)nnSkull Height 11 cm (4.3 in.)nnOrigin: TasmaniannProduct of Bone Clones
