Extinct Animals

The Thylacine
(aka The Tasmanian Tiger)

The Thylacine was declared extinct in 1936.

(Last Known Video)


It became extinct because of people and their dogs.

They were mistaken though. People and their dogs hunted them to extinction for killing their sheep but wild dogs were killing them.
