Thylacinus

Took about 3 1/2 hours; not my best work but I needed something to relax.

The thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, has got to be one of the cooler-looking extinct animals. Perhaps it's got something to do with those gorgeous backstripes, or that ridiculously huge gape. I dunno, but you can't just help but love thylacines.

It didn't stand any higher than your average pet labrador, but it was longer in body and had the general demeanor of a hyena.

Heh, and you know, unusual for a marsupial, the males have pouches too. But they didn't carry babes in them. The males' pouches were there to protect their, eh, sensitive parts as the moved through the dense forests. So, you learn something new every day, don't you?
