Do Tasmanian tigers live in tropical rainforests?
Tasmanian tigers, more properly known as Thylacines, are
extinct, so they do not live anywhere now.
From the time of European settlement, the Thylacine, or
Tasmanian Tiger, was only known on the Australian island state of
Tasmania. However, fossil evidence from a long time ago indicates
they once also lived on the Australian mainland and in New
Guinea.
The habitat of the thylacine was open bushland such as dry
eucalypt forest or grasslands or sometimes the edge of open
wetlands. It did not live in the tropical rainforest.
