common throughout Australia. But it lived only on the island of Tasmania when Europeans began settling the region in the late 1700's. The Europeans hunted the animal because they thought it preyed on sheep and
poultry. The last known Tasmanian tiger died in captivity in 1936. Australians often call Tasmanian tigers
thylacines.
