Once widespread in Australia and Tasmania, the Tasmanian tiger was initially displaced by dingoes and eventually fell victim to extinction. The officially last known specimen named "Benjamin" died on September 7, 1936 in the Hobart Zoo. Since then, persistent rumors of alleged sightings of the carnivorous marsupial continue to surface - studies also exist that suggest the Tasmanian tiger may have survived well beyond the 1930s.
