Original Title: TIL that the thylacine or Tasmanian tiger, was hunted to extinction after being blamed for killing livestock - though its jaw was so weak it likely couldn’t kill more than a possum. It had tiger-like stripes and could open its jaws 80°. The last known thylacine died in Hobart Zoo in 1936.
