THE TASMANIAN TIGER (Thylacinus cynocephalus)
On April 25,1857 I Riley J Petersen found a species man has never seen before. I was off the coast of Australia, on an island called Tasmania. At first I thought I had stumbled across a pack of wild dogs, but as I got closer I realized that these are no dog.
Description
The species seems to be dog but it had the stripes of a tiger on its rear end. Picture a animal with the body of a large dog with a stiff rodent like tail. The head of a wolf, the pouch of a kangaroo, and black stripes like a tiger. This creature is about six feet long and seems vicious. I believe that this species is harmless when it first noticed me it just ran away like
a scared little girl. This creature has yellowish fur. I have named this species the Tasmanian Tiger or Thylacinus cynocephalus. The height of the Tasmanian Tiger is about 24 inches tall. The part about my discovery of this animal is that
Ecosystem
This species lives in the eucalyptus forests of tasmania, although the tasmanian tiger can also live in other habitats besides the eucalyptus forest.

The eucalyptus trees provide shelter and food for many animals in the eucalyptus forest habitat. One abiotic factors in the eucalyptus forest are the soil. The soil is a crucial part of this environment because without suitable soil the eucalyptus trees would not have enough nutrients to grow into giant healthy trees. Another abiotic factor in this environment is the logs and caves in the area. Also the water in the area is an important part for the survival of any animal.biotic factor that is important in the Tasmanian Tigers habitat is the amount of kangaroos, wallabies and wombats, birds and small animals such as potoroos and possums. The eucalyptus trees are another important biotic factor for the Tasmanian
The Taiga biome is decreasing. Mostly due to deforestation. It is one of the largest forests in the world. The Taiga biome (also known as the Boreal forest) is filled with creatures of all sorts. Such as caribou and Siberian tigers. (“Awo, Mohamed”1)The Taiga biome is known for its beautiful trees which are all evergreens. Sadly this beautiful biome is disappearing all over the world. The Taiga is important because there are many other issues in the world like global warming, if we want to stop global warming then we need to save the Taiga because it stores a lot of the world’s carbon. The Taiga is located in North America, Europe, and Asia. The biome is one of the largest biomes in the world. Some causes of this beautiful biome disappearing
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a Sumatran Tiger? Sumatran Tigers are very interesting and fascinating animals who are faced with very rough conditions every day.
Tigers are amazing creatures that have gone through several evolutionary changes from the beginning of their species. A modern day tiger is most recognizable for their pattern of dark vertical stripes on orange fur with a white underside. The largest modern day tiger in record was eleven feet tall and weighed 387 pounds. In the terms of science tigers are under the classification of roaring tigers and the scientific name of a tiger is Panthera tigris. But in order to learn about about the evolutionary changes of the tigers of today; it is important to look at the the core definition of evolution itself and the history of the adaptations that lead to the modern tiger. The adaptation of various ancestors shaped the outcome
Species: P. tigris, the organism who lives in a forest and is covered wiht blackstrip fur.
Chupacabra- Chupacabra -- which means "goat sucker" -- got it's name from the first reports of mutilated goats. In September 1995 Madeleine Tolentino and other eyewitnesses claimed to have seen a creature "three or four feet tall, with skin like that of a dinosaur, it had bright eyes the size of hens eggs, long fangs and multicolored spikes down its head and back." Other eyewitnesses have also said that it looks part bat, part kangaroo, and part alien Grey.
Thylacoleo carnifex or 'Marsupial Lion', weighing at around 120 kg, was the largest mammalian predator in Australia. The megafauna was found Thylacoleo was capable of grasping or slashing its prey with the long sharp claws on its semi-opposable thumb, then stabbing with its large incisor teeth. These animals were common across most of Australia during the Pleistocene period. They became extinct about 50,000 years ago.
It's as big as a buffalo and it has a shaggy black and white stripes like a zebra. It has two sharp brown horns on the side of its head to attack predators. Its body length ranges
Half of Australia’s bird species, a third of frogs, marsupial and reptile species, an abundant amount of bats and butterfly species, plant and trees have been categorised to live in the Daintree rainforest, these all live in 0.2% of the landmass of Australia. Such as:
The populations of each habitat vary, as they would be dependent on abiotic factors such as: light, temperature, water and soil.
The Golden Bamboo Lemur makes its home in the rainforests of Madagascar. They also live in bogs, marshes, swamps and wetlands.
Red-tailed hawks live in deciduous forests and open areas. Here are some places where they might live, swamps, deserts, tundra, plains, and
Although there are many extinct creatures out there, the Tasmanian Tiger is one of the most compelling. The tiger is also known as the Thylacinus Cynocephalus. The last of the known species died in 1936, creating extinction.
Today I will tell you about the Tasmanian tiger, also known as the Tassie Tiger. The Tasmanian tiger isn’t even a cat, so why call it a tiger? It is known as the Tasmanian tiger because of its striping on the back. Although, some Australians call it the Tasmanian wolf. The Tasmanian tiger is actually part of the dog and marsupial families.
They live in Central America and South America because it is warm and moist there. They live in the rainforest and hang and eat their.
Egrets are another addition to the wetlands family, 14 types of them at the wetlands. As far as plants go, the rainforest located in the wetlands holds 71 species of plants from 42 families of native plants and introduced species. These include lantara camara, a type of weed, the Moth Vine and the Purpletop. (Wetlands.org.au)
