islands like Tasmania. It became extinct in Australia because it
could not compete with the other carnivorous animals also trying to
get food. People began destroying the Tasmanian wolves homes and
replacing them with farms for their own animals.

- Other Facts The Tasmanian wolf was a carnivore and attacked
smaller animals. Once its food source reduced it started eating the
farmers sheep. The farmers didnt like wild animals attacking their
sheep so they started a campaign to kill the carnivores that came
around. People began poisoning, shooting, trapping, hunting, etc.
the Tasmanian wolf and the population of them went down. An
unidentified disease spread through the remaining Tasmanian wolves
and people say the wild ones became extinct. In the year 1936, the
last living Tasmanian wolf died in captivity. Later after that,
people reported seeing some in the wild. They searched from the
1930s to 1960s but never found any. In 1961, it was believed that a
baby male Tasmanian wolf had been killed by accident on the west
coast in Tasmania.
