T. megiriani was a quadrupedal marsupial predator, that in appearance looked similar to a dog with a long snout. Its molar teeth were specialized for carnivory, the cups and crest were reduced or elongated to give the molars a cutting blade and in proportion with its body its teeth were exceptionally large, possibly adding to its body weight. Its estimated weight is over 57 kilograms. It is thought that Thylacinus megiriani, along with crocodiles and giant iguanas were the only predators in Alcoota . T. megiriani fossils along with Thylacinus potens T. potens have been discovered in Alcoota in the northern territory of what? , although the remains of Thylacinus in Alcoota are very rare.

Historically, there have been cases where the extermination of animal species has been politically endorsed because the animals have been considered harmful. In some cases the animals have been hunted because the animals present a danger to human lives, at other times they have been hunted because they are harmful to human interests such as livestock farming . This article refers to animals in a more limited sense it does not include humans . In a number of cases, such government endorsed hunting has led to the endangerment or outright extinction of the species. Thylacine The thylacine was an Tasmania n predator which was responsible for a significant number of attacks on unconfined livestock, leading to a public sentiment of hostility against the species. A bounty of between 6 for less than ten kills and 10 for each kill beyond ten on the thylacine was established by the Van Diemen s Land Co in 1836. In 1888 the government introduced a bounty of 1 for each adult scalp, and 10 per juvenile, and a number of sheep farmers offered similar rewards. The subsequent slaughter of the animals was a key factor in their extinction. ref http www.naturalworlds.org thylacine naturalhistory history history 1805 1936 1.htm The Natural History of Thylacinus Cynocephalus ref Tiger Caspian Tiger In the first decade of the 20th Century the Russian government declared that there is no place for tiger s in Central Asia and Caucasus .
