The thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, had an average lifespan of about 5 to 7 years in the wild. However, individuals in captivity could live longer, with some reaching up to 9 years. The species was declared extinct in the 20th century, primarily due to hunting, habitat loss, and competition with introduced species. The last known thylacine died in captivity in 1936.
