Tasmanian Tiger
by Kailey
The Tasmanian Tiger is a marsupial. It has brown and a little
black fur. It is 5 feet long and 2 to 3 feet tall. It moves really fast
like a dingo. It lives on the island of Tasmania. It does not build
its own home; it just lives in small caves or hollow tree
trunks. It prefers wetlands, forests, and grasslands in Australia. Most
scientists think the Tasmanian Tiger is extinct because of the dingo. They both
hunted for the same food and the dingo is much stronger. The Tasmanian Tiger
eats wallabys and other smaller animals. It hunts the animals it
eats.
