Fun fact; osteo-archeologist and palaeontologist students used to be given thylacine skulls to identify as a hazing ritual. They would usually be misidentified as Canine (fox or domestic dog).

They do have different teeth to Foxes and they are smaller than Wolves but the similarity with Domestic Dogs and Dingos are uncanny!

Convergent evolution at its finest!

The Tasmanian tiger: a extinct large carnivorous marsupial, that had some convergent evolution with dogs, and also a striped back.

Video Footage of the last known surviving one from the 1930s also exists, so they went extinct quite recently https://youtu.be/6gt0X-27GXM doggirl-cry
