The last known Tasmanian tiger was in the Beaumaris Zoo in Tasmania, eventually dying in 1936. The earliest known member of the genus, Thylacinus macknessi appeared during the Early Miocene, around 16 million years ago, and was smaller than the modern thylacine, with a body mass of about 6.7–9.0 kilograms (14.8–19.8 lb).
The only species to survive into modern times was the thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus), which became extinct in 1936. The consensus of authors prior to 1982 was that the thylacinid family were related to the Borhyaenidae , a group of South American predators, also extinct, that exhibited many similar characteristics of dentition.
