Australian researchers studying Tasmanian tiger skulls have made a startling discovery that challenges popular understanding of what was once the world's largest marsupial carnivore.
Scientists at Flinders University and the University of Melbourne studying thylacine skulls discovered that despite being likened to northern hemisphere predators like wolves and wild dogs, to the point that they were given the species name cynocephalus meaning 'dog-head,' Tasmanian tigers were markedly different.
