The Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus), also known as the Tasmanian tiger, was a unique carnivorous marsupial native to Tasmania, Australia, and New Guinea. With its slender, dog-like body, sandy-brown fur, and distinctive dark stripes, this now-extinct predator was known for its stealth and agility. This highly detailed thylacine miniature captures the animal’s iconic features, from its elongated snout to its stiff, kangaroo-like tail. Perfect for wildlife dioramas, historical displays, or extinct animal collections, this model brings a rare and captivating piece of natural history to life. Whether placed in a dense forest scene or as a striking standalone figure, the thylacine adds depth, realism, and a touch of mystery to any miniature display.
