Thyacine
Tasmanian tiger
Tasmanian wolf
carnivorous marsupial
kept young in pouch
native to Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea
Thyacine is to Australia
What Sasquatch is to North America
Been sighted but not recently penned or captured
Sasquatch might be a myth
Thyacine only went extinct eighty-seven years ago
in 1936
