Come on, guys! The Tas is a unique critter. One of the very few marsupial predators. I believe it survived in Tasmania because the dingo couldn't swim across the straits. Then along came white men with guns!

You are quite right Mike, the tiger had no natural predators and it took men with guns to make it extinct. At one stage there was a 1 pound bounty on its head, which in those days was a fortune.
