1:00.1	They're also known as Tasmanian tigers and Tasmanian wolves, because they look kind
1:06.3	of like dogs, and they have tiger-like stripes on their hindquarters, which is so Tasmanian
1:14.3	tiger.
1:16.4	But they're actually marsupials, they're not regular mammals like dogs.
1:21.4	They are more related to kangaroos, so they have pouches, and in fact, the name thylacine

1:34.8	But it's believed that they went extinct in the 1930s, however, there have been thousands
