The History of Thylacines
Thylacines were primarily nocturnal like cats are. During the daytime Thylacine slunk away and slept in nests, in caves or tree trunks. They're described as using growls or hisses to warn people away. This noise is described in human terms as sounding like yip yap, kyip and hop hop hop. In captivity they could live up to 9 years so a little shorter than most dog breeds.
