a special kind of wolf


Thylacine Thylacinus cynocephalus
Tasmanian Wolf or Thylacine, Thylacinus cynocephalus
The Tasmanian Wolf is not a wolf, but a carnivorous marsupial and a relative of wombats and kangaroos.  It even has a pouch.   Tasmanian officials promoting ranching paid bounties to hunters.  Believed to be extinct for well over half a century, unconfirmed reported sightings persist.
