Here is the answer: It is not a tiger, freaky dog, dingo, painted dog, or hyena. It is a Tasmanian Tiger (also known as the Thylacine), a marsupial for the small-ish island of Tasmania, south-east from Austrailia. It was a close relative to the Tasmanian Devil, and is still cosidered the largest land-based predator of Austrailia. It hunted kangaroos, could stand on it's hind legs, and open its mouth wider than any other animal in history. Sadly, the Thylacine was hunted to extinction by European settlers who thought of it as a monster that was killing their sheep. This was entirely false. Some people think that the Tasmanian Tiger can be brought back through the prossess of cloning, while others think that the species is still alive. Never the less, it is my favorite animal for many reasons.

Also, there is a video game character that is a Tasmainian Tiger, and his name is Ty.
