What did the marsupial wolf look like and how did it become extinct?

First of all, we must know that the marsupial wolf is not a wolf, but its body is like a wolf and its head is more like a dog. Tawny hair and black stripes on the back make it recognizable. Like other native animals in Australia, they belong to marsupials, and breast-feeding bags are symbolic accessories on their bellies.

Both males and females have child-care bags, but the male's child-care bag is not fully developed, and the female's child-care bag is on the stomach and opens to the rear. Although it is called a "bag wolf", it looks more like a dog. If we only distinguish it from bones, it is difficult for even biology graduate students to judge whether it is a wolf's bone or a dog's bone.

The marsupial wolf is a predator at night, rarely appears in the daytime, and its movements are not as fast as those of wolves, but it seems a little hard. So its food is basically marsupials such as kangaroos and some birds that are easy to catch. In this way, they are still one of Australia's top predators, with almost no natural enemies. However, all this happened before humans set foot in Australia. In front of human beings, they are just a group of "little wild dogs" with no resistance.

There are two factors leading to the extinction of marsupials. The first is its own factors. Before the arrival of European colonists, marsupials on the Australian continent were basically extinct. The only surviving species is Tasmania on the edge of the Australian mainland. However, its extinction was caused by human beings.

At least, marsupials are carnivores and look a bit like thieves at night, so some people suspect that this kind of animal "steals poultry" like weasels, which has planted the seeds of accidents for the extinction of marsupials. Later, a photographer named Harry buhrer took a photo about "Marsupial Stealing Chicken", which became the preface of "Marsupial Extinction".

People began to hunt marsupials on a large scale, resulting in a rapid decline in population. When the local government just wanted to introduce laws to protect them, it was too late. On the 59th day after the enactment of the bill, Benjamin, the last survivor of the marsupial population, was declared dead.
