How did the pocket wolf go extinct?
The pocket wolf used to be the largest marsupial carnivore that survived into modern times. Although its skeletal structure and physical appearance are similar to those of the gray wolf, and the pattern of its back fur resembles that of the tiger, taxonomically speaking, the pocket wolf belongs to neither the canine nor the feline family, and it is different from any of the extant carnivores in the northern hemisphere. Kangaroo wolves belong to the marsupial order, Kangarooidae. As we know, the wombat (koala), wombat, and various kangaroos living in Oceania are its "close relatives". The reason why the appearance of wolves and tigers is similar to that of wolves and tigers is that they reproduce in a similar natural environment, resulting in the phenomenon of "convergent evolution".

In front of these marine creatures, human beings are much smaller.
