|appearance=Tasmanian Tiger has fair skin and deep blue eyes. Those eyes lack the distinct eyeshine of extant friends, indicating her [[:Category:Extinct Friends|extinct]] status. Her hair is short and choppy, with a soft tan hue. The left bangs are a light gray and the right bangs are the same tan as the rest of her hair. There is a small dark brown tip at the end of the right bang. Two rectangular-shaped ears sit on top oh her head.  

Her clothes consist of a sleeveless white button-down shirt and a puffy collar. The collar has a bow with red on one side and blue-and-white stripes on the other. She has long opera-length gloves that go to her biceps, both of which have alternating ribbons that match the colors of her bow tie. Around her waist is a tight, ruffled half apron that is light brown, adorned with dark brown stripes like the real life animal. The shorts are big and puffy, and are also light brown with dark brown stripes like her apron. Lastly, she has white shoes and long white socks that have a single black half-stripe at the top.

The Tasmanian Tiger/Thylacine held the status of [[wikipedia:Endangered species|endangered species]] until the 1980s. International standards at the time stated that ''"an animal can not be declared extinct until 50 years have passed without a confirmed record"''. Since no definitive proof of existence had been obtained for more than 50 years, the official criteria had been met and the Tasmanian Tiger was declared extinct by the [[wikipedia:International Union for Conservation of Nature|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] in 1982 and by the Tasmanian government in 1986. The species was removed from Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 2013.

* While the Tasmanian Tiger is another name for the Thylacine, they are two similar but separate friends in the ''Kemono Friends'' franchise.

* It is featured on the Coat of Arms of Tasmania.  

* Thanks to preserved specimens in private collections and museums, its [[wikipedia:Whole genome sequencing|whole genome sequence]] has been mapped and there are efforts to [[wikipedia:Cloning|clone]] them and bring them back to life.
