The animal was a marsupial. It looked like a pouched dog with a wolfs head and stripes on its rear and a kangaroo like tale. If it were a fab it would be a wolf a tiger and a bird.

Fabs versus Natural animals
ReplyDeleteThe common name of the animal is Tasmanian tiger. The scientific name of the animal is Thylacine. The Tasmanian tiger looks like a tiger and a wolf. If the Tasmanian tiger was a fab it would be a tiger, wolf, kangaroo and leopard mix. The Tasmanian tiger is a marsupial. The adults weigh 15-30 kg and were about 58cm tall. The Tasmanian tiger ate birds and other animals such as wallabies and kangaroos. They were outlawed because they were attacking sheep and poultry. No I don’t think they are extinct forever. They could bring them back by using DNA to clone a Thylacine.

I think the animal in the video was a Tasmanian tiger or the scientific name the thylacine. The Tasmanian tiger looks like a wolf at the front but has tiger stripes on the back. It also has very sharp claws. If it were a fab, I think it would be a wolf, tiger or a dog. The Tasmanian tiger was a marsupial and not a mammal. Adults weighed 15-30kg and stood about 58cm. Tasmanian tigers ate birds and small animals like kangaroos and wallabies. They were outlawed and hunted because they started to attack sheep and poultry. I don’t think that the Tasmanian tiger will be brought back and if they do bring it back I think they will use some sort a chemical and clone the animal. Nathan
ReplyDeleteI think that the animal is a Tasmanian Tiger. I think the scientific name for it is the Thylacine cynocephalus. 2) I think that the Tasmanian Tiger looks like a tiger, a dog and a Kangaroo put together to make one animal. It mainly looks like a dog with a Wolfs head, though. If it were a fab, it would have been engineered from a wolf, a dog, a Tiger, and a Kangaroo. 3) The Tasmanian Tiger was not a mammal. It was a marsupial. 4) Adults weighed from 15-30kg, and stood about 58cm (2') high at the shoulders. Thylacines ate birds, and small animals like wallabies and kangaroos. 5) They were outlawed and hunted because they started to attack sheep and poultry, and a bounty of one pound was put on each of their heads. 6) I don’t think that they will be extinct forever. They could bring them back by using DNA from preserved specimens to clone a Thylacine (so that they can track them down). They could also try their best to lure the Thylacine back by putting out some small animals (that have passed away) and some raw meat etc. for the Thylacine to eat. Some Thylacines may be almost be dead from starvation.

I think this animal is a Tasmanian tiger for the common name and is a thylacine cynocephalus for the scientific name.
ReplyDeleteIf it was a fab it would have been made of a dog, kangaroo, a wolf and a tiger.
The Tasmanian tiger was not a mammal it was a marsupial. They weighed 15-30 pounds and were about 58cm tall. They ate small animals like birds, kangaroos and wallabies. They were outlawed and hunted because they started to attack sheep and poultry. I believe they are not extinct forever because they can bring them back by using persevered DNA to clone a thylacine.

The name of the animal is called a Tasmanian tiger and the scientific name is thylacinus cynocephalus. The Tasmanian tiger looks like a dog with strips, if it was a fab. I think it would like a regular tiger with strips on its back. A Tasmanian tiger is a dog with a wolf head. A adult weighs about 15-30kg and a Tasmanian tiger is 58 cm tall. The Tasmanian tiger eat small animal like birds and mice. The Tasmanian tiger was outlawed and hunted because people needed their fur and flesh to keep warm and to eat the flesh. I think that Tasmanian tiger are not extinct forever because the last one died in a zoo in 1957.I think we can bring them back because we can believe that they exist. Sarah S.
ReplyDelete• Tasmanian Tiger, or the scientific name thylacine .
ReplyDelete• It had a thick like kangaroo tail, a wolfs tail, a large rear opening pouch, and 13 to 19 brown stripes down its back.
• The Tasmanian tiger is not a mammal it is a protected species.
• Adult’s way 15-30 kg. It was about 58cm (‘2).
• Thylacines ate small animals such as bird’s kangaroos, and wallabies.
• They started to attack sheep and poultry.
• No they won’t be instinct for ever they will start cloning the thylacines
• Name: Logan H
1. I think this is a cross between a tiger, wolf, kangaroo; its scientific name is a Thylacine and its common name Tasmanian tiger.
ReplyDelete2. Looks like half wolf half kangaroo and tiger. From wolf, kangaroo, tiger.
3. The Tasmanian tiger is a marsupial.
Adults weighed from 15-30kg, and stood about 58cm (2') high at the shoulder.
Thylacines ate birds, and small animals like wallabies and kangaroos.
After European settlement they were outlawed because they started to attack sheep and poultry, and a bounty of one pound was put on each of their heads.
Scientists like Professor Michael Archer are becoming increasingly excited about the possibility of using DNA from preserved specimens to clone a thylacine

I think that the Tasmanian tiger is a mix of many different animals. The Tasmanian tiger’s real name is thylacine. I think that the Tasmanian tiger is a mix of bear , kangaroo, dog and also a hyena. If it was a fab, I think it could be from a tiger and a wolf and also a kangaroo. The Tasmanian tiger is a marsupial. The Tasmanian tiger weighs 15-30 kg and it stands 58cm (2”) high. The Tasmanian tiger ate birds, wallabies and kangaroos. The Tasmanian tiger was outlawed and hunted because, it attacked sheep and the poultry. I think that they could not bring Tasmanian tigers back to life because there are no other tigers left to take DNA from. katie
ReplyDeleteThe Tasmanian Tiger is it`s common name and it`s scientific name is thylacine cynocephalus was it`s name. It looks like it is a wolf with tiger stripes and a kangaroo tail. it looks like it has the face of a Pitbull the stripes of a tiger at the back and the tail of a kangaroo and the legs and paws of a wolf and last it looks to be the size of a fox. This animal is a marsupial. Adults weigh from 15-30kg. They where 58cm high at the shoulder. Tasmanian Tiger ate small birds and kangaroos and wallabies .They were outlawed because they started to attack sheep. No I do not think that they will be extinct forever because scientist may be able to get DNA from preserved specimens. Amelia
ReplyDeleteThey animals actual scientific name is a thylacinus cynocephalus or a Tasmanian tiger. The thylacine looks to me like a zebra, wolf or dog and a cat with a long tail. The thylacine is a marsupial not a mammal. The marsupial weighted at 15-30Kg and it was about 58 cm tall. The thylacines ate only two things chickens and sheep’s. They were hunted in Australia because they would kill farmer’s sheep. I think that some might still be hiding somewhere in Australia.

I think this animal is a Tasmanian tiger or a thylacine.
ReplyDeleteThe animal looks like an animal with a kangaroo tale and a wolfs face and tiger stripes. If it
Was a fab it would be a kangaroo a wolf a bird and a tiger. The animal is also a marsuperial.

• The common name for this is a Tasmanian tiger and the scientific name is Thylacine.
ReplyDelete• The animal looks like a tiger, wolf, dog and a kangaroo. It looks a little bit like a cat to.
• The Tasmanian tiger is not a mammal it is a protected species.
• The adults weigh about 15-30kg and they are 58cm tall.
• They ate birds and small animals like wallabies and kangaroos.
• After European settlement they were outlawed because they started to attack sheep and poultry, and a bounty of one pound was put on each of their heads.

I think the animal is a Tasmanian Tiger (common name) or a thylacine (scientific name). The animal looked like a wolf in the front but the back looked like a tiger it also looked like it had legs and a tail of a kangaroo. If it was a fab I think it would have been fabricated from a wolf, tiger and a kangaroo. The Tasmanian Tiger is a marsupial not a mammal. Adults weighed from 15-30kg and stood about 58cm high. They eat birds and small animals like wallabies and kangaroos. They were outlawed and hunted because they started to attack sheep and poultry. I think they will bring them back one day by using some sort of a DNA that they have from a thylacine before they were extinct. I think that will make a clone of some sort.
ReplyDeleteClaire
The name of this animal is the Thylacine or the Tasmanian Tiger. If the Tasmanian Tiger was a fab I think the creatures it had been fabricated from would be a dog, a tiger, a kangaroo, and a wolf. I also noticed in the video that the Thylacine was very friendly and playful. The Tasmanian Tiger has a long, kangaroo like tail and has stripes like a tiger’s on it’s back. It also had a wolf like head and it’s hind legs also look quite similar to a kangaroo’s legs. The Thylacine was not a mammal but was actually a marsupial. Adults weighed from 15-30kg and stood about 58cm tall up to the shoulder. They ate birds and small animals such as kangaroos and wallabies. Tasmanian Tigers were outlawed and hunted because they had started attacking the European settlement’s sheep and poultry. I don’t think that Tasmanian Tigers are gone forever because there are still places in the world that haven’t really been explored and also scientists haven’t looked in every single place in Tasmania. Scientists have the hope that someday they will be able to bring back the Thylacine by cloning it with DNA from preserved specimens. Jada
ReplyDelete1.The Tasmanian tiger, the scientific name is called thylacine.
ReplyDelete2.It had a thick, kangaroo-like tail, a large rear-opening pouch, and 13 to 19 dark brown stripes that extended from the base of the tail almost to the shoulders.
3.It is not a mammal, it is a protected species.
4.Adults weighed from 15-30kg, and stood about 58cm (2') high at the shoulder.
5.Thylacines ate birds, and small animals like wallabies and kangaroos.
6.After European settlement they were outlawed because they started to attack sheep and poultry, and a bounty of one pound was put on each of their heads.
7.Scientists are trying to use DNA from preserved specimens to clone a thylacine. Vivian
The animal’s name is a Tasmanian tiger. The scientific name is a thylacine. The animal looks like a wolf, dog and a tiger. If it was fabricated or engineered I think it would need a dog, tiger, wolf and kangaroo. The Tasmanian tiger was not a mammal it was a marsupial. The adults weigh up to 15-30 lbs and stood about 58cm high. The Tasmanian tiger ate birds, small animals like wallabies and kangaroos. They were outlawed and hunted because they started to attack sheep and poultry. I don’t think the Tasmanian tiger will be extinct forever because scientists might clone them using the DNA that they sampled from the animal. Sarah C.
ReplyDelete1) I think that the animal is a Tasmanian Tiger/Thylacine/Thylacine Cynocephalus.
ReplyDelete2) I think that the Tasmanian Tiger looks like it was fabricated from the animals a wolf, a tiger, a kangaroo and a bit of dog.
3) The Tasmanian Tiger was not a mammal. It was a Marsupial.
4) Adults weighed from 15-30kg. The Tasmanian Tiger stood about 58cm (2’) high at the shoulders.
5) They ate birds, wallabies and kangaroos.
6) They were outlawed and hunted because they started to attack sheep and poultry.
7) No I do not believe they are extinct forever because there could still be traces of them. We could bring them back by following there traces.
Trinity
The normal name is Tasmanian tiger and the scientific name is Thylacine cynocephalus.
ReplyDeleteI think if it were a fabricated animal it would be a mixture of wolf, tiger and dog and kangaroo.
The Tasmanian tiger is not a mammal but a marsupial.
The adult Tasmanian tiger weighs about 15-30 kg. The Tasmanian tiger was about 58 cm tall.
Tasmanian tigers ate birds and other small creatures.
Tasmanian tigers were outlawed and hunted because they started to attack sheep.
I don’t think they are extinct. They could still find a few in the wild.
They could stop hunting for them and stop putting traps in the wild. Jason
It is a Tasmanian Tiger but its scientific name is Thylacinus Cynocephalus.
ReplyDeleteThe animal looks like a mix of a Tiger, a Kangaroo, a Wolf, a Dog, and the face of a Pitbul.
If it was a fab it would have fabricated a mix of a Tiger, Wolf, Kangaroo, Dog and a Pitbul.
The Tasmanian Tiger was not a mammal it was a marsupial.
The adults weighed 15-30kg.
They were about 58 cm at the shoulder. They ate birds and small animals like wallabies and kangaroos.
They were outlawed and hunted because they started to attack sheep and poultry and a bounty of one pound was put on each of their heads.
Yes I think they are extinct forever.
I don’t think they could bring them back.

• The common name for this animal is Tasmanian tiger the scientific name is thylacine.
ReplyDelete• This animal looks like it has a dogs face a kangaroos tail (thick) some wolf like features and tiger (back).
• The thylacine was not a mammal it was a marsupial.
• Adults weighed from 15-30kg and stood 58cm (2’’) tall.
• Thylacines ate birds and small animals like wallabies and kangaroos.
• They were outlawed because they started to attack sheep and poultry, and a bounty of one pound was put on each of their heads.
• I do not think they are extinct FOREVER, because they could be fabricated again.
Ireland
I think this animal is a hound.
ReplyDeleteThe thylacinu is an animal not a mammal.
The animal kind of looks like a tiger and a hound combined.
Adults weighed from 15-30kg, and the thylacinu stood about 58cm (2') high at the shoulder.
The thylacinu ate birds and small animals like wallabies and kangaroos.
The thylacinu was outlawed and hunted because they started to attack sheep and poultry, and a bounty of one was put one each of their heads. I do not think they are extinct forever. They could us DNA to make one thylacinu. Nolen
