I have been recently researching the Thylacine, a unique marsupial that is commonly called a Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf. This animal has been presumably extinct since 'Benjamin' died in Hobart zoo on September 7, 1936. He was left out in the cold to die (basically Harambe 1936). The physiology of the Thylacine is so close to that of a Wolf that there skeletons are easily confused. The Thylacine also has bold stripes that run along its back. When I was in the new social zone I saw the stripes on the wolves and immediately thought of the Thylacine. Then I saw it yawn and I was sold because the Thylacine was known for its yawn in which its mouth would open to 120 degrees. It may not have been on purpose but those wolves aren't actually wolves; their thylacines.

I know about the Tasmanian wolf, and about its huge yawn. The problem is that they don't live in altitude and in the cold (wolves can support more of it).
