The Strange Evolutionary Story of the Thylacine

For the millionth time...koalas are NOT bears!

It was also known to be called marsupial wolf

The lush lettuce bailly face because time impressively connect barring a mixed butter. elite, whispering light

When I’ve seen it before I didn’t know that it was a marsupial and I’m glad that I have a reason for the uncanine valley it sent me down

l believe its more related to a dog then anything else

ok, so - Australians have never called the Tasmanian Tiger a "wolf". And, the Koala IS NOT A BEAR!!!!!! Stop calling Koala's a bear!!!!

Reading the comments from the Australians about this guy mistakingly calling it a "wolf" makes me wonder what else he got wrong about this fascinating creature. Perhaps the part about convergent evolution...

Actually They have a weak sense of smell

This why superman looks human due to convergent evolution.

When I saw the title I was like 'What!?" Then I looked at the thumbnail lol. Thylacines (Tasmanian tigers) are pretty cool.

apart from the aesthetic aspect, what's so bad about animals going extinct? it happens to all species eventually, sometimes it happens early 🤷‍♂️

This is actually blew my mind away

Your interesting but this is getting painful.
It's never ever been known as a wolf.
It's always been called a Tasmanian Tiger.
Only in this century it's been acknowledged as a Thylacine but if you want to talk with someone in Australia about it their known as the Tasmanian Tiger, never ever a wolf. America has wolf's Australia has Tasmanian Tigers.
And their being sighted in southern Victoria still today, because Tasmanian & Victoria were connected back in the day which you seemed not to know.
Thylacine Megiriani has been found as a fossil in the Northern Territory & West Queensland.

Thylacine Tasmanian Tiger not wolfs.

so thinking this through if we could have domesticated the tasmaina tiger we could hve gotten a dog adjasent pet

Its not a Mammal Mammals don't have pouches its a marsupial koalas are not bears also marsupials

Marsupial lion. Because those teeth are both funny and scary.

Thylacoleo: am i a joke to you

Why is evolution so slow? Why do you most mutations harm offspring? And why do a small percentage benefit it? Why don’t we see any green animals i’m meaning green mammals?

Such an amazing animal; wish I’d had the chance to see one.

Love the animation in this vid

TINY SQUASH PUNY KARTS!

It's not a wolf it's a tiger already says it

We don’t come from monkeys 🙈

I am seeing on the internet that they are trying to bring back this animal They are trying to bring back this animals through DNA research It will bring back this animal so they can kill it again

talk about thylacoleo

It reminds me of an opossum when it opens wide it's mouth.

newsflash there not extinct

I'm trying to find a line of direct thylacine ancestors for an art project (like Thylacinus Potens) any ancestors and their time periods are helpful!!!

Where Thylacine hunted by Dingos? Or did they not f*ck with each other at all?

That dolphin impression was AMAZING

They have been found these tasmanian tigers in australia

so how does it carry it's bady when it is hunting it's prey if it has a pouch
all the names u just said are different but have same stuff and u call it convergent evolution just BL 🤯w my brains to bits
I know know little bit about mother nature but big names like that
W🤯W
been thinking about it yeah u are are right about convergent evolution like people say we come form apes no we came form some form the like a ape if we come form apes it would still be happening today I do not think to good at times when my brain blows out

i hate you so much

I seen a video of the last thylacine and it could bend its foot to look plantigrade when it was resting but (standing and sitting), but when walking it was digitigrade

I envy this guy for the amazingly enthusiastic people he meets. I wish I could talk to more people that get that glow in their eyes when they talk about something.

So dumb

This video was a W buh I didn’t understand not a dang thang buh thylacine 😂😂

This is why Hyenas look so close to dogs even tho they're not

Common Designer. Whoops, did I intrude on your faith? I smell a sacred cow.

Did this marsupial only give birth to one baby like a kangaroo or multiple babies like possums?

lol

Male’s had pouches too for different reasons

I am now going to nerdy-ly tell everyone I know about analogous and homologous differences against their will.

A marsupial tiger that looks like a caniform. God I love this planet

The high pitch noise that bats make sounds more like wet breaks on a car also pest deterrents make me cringe. My hearing is well good I can pinpoint sounds by manipulating my ear by tensing the ear to deepen sounds. Its like shouting through a tube into someone's ear hole. They get the full noise.

So hummingbird is a dinosaur

I can understand why this would be his favorite marsupial but for me I have to go with thylacaLeo the marsupial lion and its closest living relative is the wombat and the Tasmanian devil

Vanessa from BrainCraft told me about a wolf with a pouch, so I had to go find one for myself. Unfortunately they’re extinct, which is how I ended up at the museum.
