Thylacinidae is currently considered to be the most basal and earliest diverging member of Dasyuromorpha, estimated to have split from other dasyuromorphs around 42-36 million years ago. [2] The earliest thylacinid, Badjcinus from the Late Oligocene around 25 million years ago, is estimated to have been around 1.7 to 3.1 kilograms (3 ...

Species. References. External links. Thylacinus is a genus of extinct carnivorous marsupials in the family Thylacinidae. The only recent member was the thylacine ( Thylacinus cynocephalus ), commonly also known as the Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf. The last known Tasmanian tiger was in the Beaumaris Zoo in Tasmania, eventually dying in 1936.

A notable distinctive feature of thylacoleonids is their unusual blade-like third premolars, which functioned as the carnassial teeth. Thylacoleonids varied widely in body size. One of the smallest thylacoleonids, the Early Miocene Microleo attenboroughi, is estimated to have had a body mass of 590 grams (1.30 lb), while the last species of the fam...
Early members of Thylacinidae like Microleo, Lekaneleo and early species of Wakaleo were likely arboreal tree climbing mammals, though later members of Wakaleo and Thylacoleo were likely primarily terrestrial with some climbing capabilities. Earlier species of Thylacoleonidae like Lekaneleo roskellyae are suggested to have been omnivorous, while at...
Thylacoleontidae is considered a member of Diprotodontia, though its precise position within that group is uncertain. They have often been considered a basal group (often the most basal group) within Vombatiformes, making their closest living relatives wombats and koalas, though other authors have placed them at the base of Diprotodontia, outside o...
Muirhead & Wroe, 1998 [1] Badjcinus turnbulli is an extinct thylacinid marsupial. [1] The only species in the genus Badjcinus, it is the earliest and most primitive known thylacinid, living 23 to 28 million years ago in the late Oligocene. [1]
External links. Thylacinus macknessi lived during the early Miocene and is the oldest known member of the genus Thylacinus. It is named after Brian Mackness, a supporter of Australian vertebrate paleontology. T. macknessi was a quadrupedal marsupial predator, that in appearance looked similar to a dog with a long snout.
