Was the thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus) monotypic, or were there subspecies?

It has been noted that thylacine fossils from south-west WA are much smaller than those from Tasmania (Ride, 1964; Lowry, 1972), while specimens from New Guinea are "usually smaller than many Australian specimens (L. Dawson, pers. comm.)" (Mountain, 2023:39) and have, historically at least, been suggested to differ in their dentition too (van Deusen, 1963; Ride, 1964). While in eastern Australia, Richard Owen described T. spelaeus from the Wellington Caves (Middle–Late Pleistocene) as larger than T. cynocephalus (Owen, 1845; Ride, 1964), and decades later T. major, also from the Wellington Caves (Owen, 1877), but probably inadvertently (Lydekker, 1887:264), and therefore was likely the same as his earlier T. spelaeus and therefore invalid but it could not be proven (Mahoney & Ride, 1975:36). And De Vis (1893) described T. rostralis as fundamentally differing in its proportions from T. cynocephalus so that it could not have been the same as Owen's T. spelaeus which was merely larger than T. cynocephalus (Ride, 1964). De Vis' T. rostralis material is likely from the Darling Downs (Pleistocene) not Chinchilla Sands (Pliocene) as he reported (contra Ride, 1964; see Mackness et al., 2002:238).

Given this mix of known and claimed variation in size and proportions of Thylacinus spp. (sub)fossils from the Pleistocene of mainland Australia, several workers from the 1960's-1980's examined this fossil material from the mainland and subjected it to analyses to see whether it warranted erecting a new taxon (given that the locus typicus (type locality) is in Tasmania), and to test the validity of the other described Pleistocene thylacinids mentioned above (viz. Ride, 1964; Lowry, 1972; Dawson, 1982). The former two authorities (Ride, 1964; Lowry, 1972) looked at small thylacines from the western half of the continent, which seems to reflect that they were genetically distinct relative to the 'eastern population' (eastern mainland and Tasmania) (White et al., 2018a), but found no justification for erecting a new taxon.

Ride (1964) found even less difference between eastern mainland thylacines and those from Tasmania, and considered Owen's T. spelaeus to be a junior synonym of T. cynocephalus (Ibid., 105), but considered the status of T. rostralis as unresolved (Ibid., 108). Dawson (1982) also synonymised Owen's T. spelaeus with T. cynocephalus, and was the first to formally synonymise both T. major and T. rostralis with T. cynocephalus. And when Mahoney & Ride (1988:12) formally synonymised the long overlooked T. communis with T. cynocephalus, there was now only a single formally described species of Thylacinus known from the Pleistocene (see Table 1 below). However, a more recent consideration of the hypothesis of taxonomically significant variation in Pleistocene Thylacinus material indicated that a new taxon may need to be described in the future (Helgen & Veatch, 2015).

 

Table 1: Heterotypic synonyms of the thylacine, their authors and earliest formal synonymisations. It follows the taxonomic treatment of (Jackson & Groves, 2015:77), except for their "Thylacinus striatus Warlow, 1833: 97" due to two discoveries relating to that taxon made by myself (Branden Holmes) since publication of the cited volume, which have subsequently been accepted by Dr. Stephen Jackson and will appear in any second edition should it appear (S. Jackson, pers. comm. 28 March 2020). They have Thylacinus striatus as being authored by (Warlow, 1833), and first synonymised with T. cynocephalus by (Thomas, 1888:256). Whereas I have discovered that the taxon was actually introduced as Thylacynus (sic) striatus by (Burnett, 1830) three years earlier, and first synonymised by (Blyth, 1863:180) 25 years earlier.

Name Tribe Location Reference/s
?akngwelye Arrernte Alice springs and surrounding areas, Northern Territory

Although traditionally interpreted as relating to the dingo, some Arrernte people have recently (post-2010) interpreted the name to refer to the thylacine. See Glaskin (2021) for a discussion of this, including the possibility that it may have originally referred to the thylacine before its extinction caused its replacement by the dingo in the story of a fight between akngwelye and a 'stranger dog', as happened to other extinct species in the Flinders Ranges (Tunbridge, 1991; Glaskin, 2021).

?marrukurli Adnyamathanha northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia

"There is no certainty that the term marrukurli refers to the striped carnivorous mammal, the Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger), but we place the two together here because several Adnyamathanha elders have believed them to be identical, and we think there is nothing to be lost by considering the possibility." (Tunbridge, 1991:48)

"Tunbridge hypothesises that the physical description of the mammals in the second marrakurli (sic) story may have come to resemble dingoes following the thylacine’s disappearance, as it was described to successive generations ‘in terms of the Dingo’, raising the possibility that through such ‘mythologising’, knowledge of an extinct animal can be ‘retained in the corporate memory’ (1991, 48)."

European (English)

Table 41. List of European non-scientific names in English for the thylacine, including those of its taxonomic synonyms. Entries are organised by first recorded instance of each name currently known to the present author, somewhat following (Guiler & Godard, 1998:15). Further searching of Trove and other sources will undoubtedly uncover earlier usages of, and further, common names.

NB: Where no scientific name is mentioned in the text, it is regarded by default as referring to T. cynocephalus. This is especially true of Knopwood's 18 June 1805 journal entry, which predates the original scientific description of the species. There are also possible pre-1805 records of the species that are not included at present; I'm currently conducting research on the early thylacine literature.

Pre-European genetic loss: chronology

The thylacine is believed to have been restricted to lutruwita (Tasmania) at the time of European contact in 1606, having already experienced its first extinction on the mainland (White, 2023), and possibly even earlier disappearance from New Guinea. The latest known occurrence from New Guinea being a specimen from Nombe rock shelter in the highland Chimbu (=Simbu) Province that has been dated to <5651 cal. BP (i.e. 5650 cal. BP-present) (Mountain, 2023), while the latest secure directly dated specimen from mainland Australia is 3290 ± 49 years BP from Kelly Cave on the WA side of the Nullarbor Plain (White et al., 2016, 2018b). Though a specimen (right third metatarsal) from Caladenia Cave between Guilderton and Gingin 1 hour north of Perth (WA) has an associated charcoal age of 3254-2925 cal. BP, and thus may represent the youngest mainland specimen (Thorn et al., 2017; Thorn, 2023: 41, pl. 8 [131]) and therefore the youngest specimen outside Tasmania (see Table 6 below). It is also important to point out that these last records, particularly for mainland Australia, are not arbitrary dates isolated in space and time, but rather the termination of a long series of dates that preceded them before they cease suddenly (White et al., 2018b).

A study of mtDNA from 51 thylacines originating from mainland Australia and Tasmania showed that mainland thylacines had separated into two distinct populations before the Last Glacial Maximum (c. 25,000 yr BP), with the older and genetically more diverse of the two being the western population (White et al., 2018a), which has been noted to have been physically smaller (Ride, 1964; Lowry, 1972). The historical Tasmanian population therefore being a relict of the eastern population with its lower genetic diversity (White et al., 2018a). Mainland Tasmanian devils also had at least six alleles (gene variants) that are not present in historical Tasmanian genetic samples (Morris et al., 2013; Brüniche-Olsen et al., 2018), meaning that both the thylacine and Tasmanian devil lost genetic diversity when they went extinct on the mainland roughly 3,200 years ago.

But Tasmanian thylacines and devils were not entirely immune from the loss of genetic diversity either, even given their isolation and insulation from the dingo. Roughly coincident with their mainland extinctions, both species suffered genetic bottlenecks in Tasmania around 3000 years ago, or close after their last mainland records c.3250 years ago (Brüniche-Olsen et al., 2018; White et al., 2018a; White, 2023). In the case of the thylacine, this involved the loss of a number of haplotypes, that is, an entire section of a chromosome, including multiple genes, that is inherited together, and thus functions as a single hereditary unit like a gene. So when Europeans invaded Tasmania the thylacine as a species had undergone two significant reductions in genetic diversity within 4000 years, leaving it with genuinely low genetic diversity (Menzies et al., 2012; Feigin et al., 2018; White et al., 2018a; Feigin et al., 2022; Menzies, 2023; White, 2023). It must be noted, however, that at least some indigenous people from the mainland believe that the species still exists there: "A colleague [Kim McCaul] who works in the region told me he knew some Kuyani people in the Flinders Ranges who insist there are still thylacines in that area" (Glaskin, 2021).

Pre-European genetic loss: cause/s

The balance of the evidence points to the concurrent disappearance of the thylacine, Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) and Tasmanian native hen (Tribonyx mortierii) from the mainland 3000-3200 years ago (Baird, 1991; Johnson & Wroe, 2003; White et al., 2018b, 2023), and genetic bottlenecks in the Tasmanian populations of the thylacine and Tasmanian devil 3000 years ago. Given that the last securely dated mainland record of the thylacine (3290±49 yBP) almost certainly does not represent the last individual, the population may well have survived substantially longer, potentially bridging the theoretical temporal gap between the two events. But given that dingoes have, as far back as 1841, been suggested to have played a role in the thylacine's mainland demise (Ogilby, 1841), and have historically been agreed to have always been absent from Tasmania, it would not be surprising if mainland extinction preceded the botteneck by some decades or even centuries. Yet this naturally raises the question of the cause, or causes, of this dual genetic loss. Three main candidate extinction causes are discussed and debated: competition from the introduced dingo (Fillios et al., 2012; Letnic et al., 2012), a climatic shift to a more drought-prone system [Brown, 2006; Donders et al., 2007), and human intensification (increased population size, technological advancements and increased resource use) (Lourandos, 1997; Johnson & Wroe, 2003). At least two further, though clearly related, hypotheses have been put forward: the introduction of the dingo may have introduced a pathogen (Corbett, 1995; fide Morris et al., 2013), and the introduction of the dingo may have introduced a parasite (Freeland, 1993; fide Abbott, 2008). All three main candidate hypotheses (dingoes, climate, humans) have significant explanatory efficacy/power, not least because they are each thought to have been either much less severe in Tasmania (climate and humans) or non-existent (dingoes) (White et al., 2023). But the relative degree to which each actually contributed to the species' mainland extinction may never be largely known.

As for New Guinea, the New Guinea singing dog (NGSD) and human intensification are the prevailing candidates, with canids presumably having been introduced to the island before they reached Australia (even though the earliest known record from Australia precedes that from New Guinea), and therefore having had a negative impact on the thylacine population there for longer than on the mainland. While the differential faunal composition may also be of some significance, given that there are more prey species in the thylacine's prey size range in Australia than New Guinea. But with very few fossil specimens known from New Guinea, and therefore a much looser extinction chronology at present, caution must be eased when trying to extrapolate from the limited data currently available.

 

Evolution & Palaeontology

Thylacinus spp. during the Late Miocene (11.6–5.332 Ma) to Pliocene (5.332–2.588 Ma)

The Powerful thylacine (Thylacinus potens) was described by (Woodburne, 1967) from the Alcoota Local Fauna, Alcoota Station, Northern Territory, based upon 11 museum accessions (Woodburne, 1967; but see Rovinsky et al., 2019:Table S1), with only (Yates, 2014) reporting any further material (6 accessions) (see Rovinsky et al., 2019:Table S1). The site has been estimated to date to the Late Miocene (8.5–5.5 Ma) (Rovinsky et al., 2019), and therefore the species may have survived into the Early Pliocene (5.3–3.6 Ma) as the paucity of dated material cannot currently constrain the species to the Miocene. Previous body mass estimates, based upon different methods, of 38.7 kg (Wroe, 2001) and 40.9–120.6 kg (Yates, 2014) for adults have been superseded by the estimate of 28.3–55.0 kg by (Rovinsky et al., 2019), making it one of the two largest thylacinids known along with T. megiriani (49.1kg) (Ibid.).

Thylacinus megiriani was described from the Ongeva Local Fauna of central Australia (Murray, 1997), with two further specimens since reported from the same locality (Yates, 2015), which has been conservatively dated as Late Miocene-Early Pliocene (7.5–4.5 Ma) (Rovinsky et al., 2019). It has been estimated to weigh 57.3 kg (Wroe, 2001) and 49.1 kg (Rovinsky et al., 2019) as an adult using different methods.

Thylacinus yorkellus was described as the sister species to T. cynocephalus by (Yates, 2015), known only from a partial mandible and isolated molar of Pliocene age (Pledge, 1992; Yates, 2015), and was found in Cora-Lynn Cave, South Australia, dubbed the Curramulka Local Fauna which was considered to be "Late Miocene or, more likely, early Pliocene in age" (Ibid.). It is considered to date to the Early Pliocene (~5.3–3.6 Ma) by (Rovinsky et al., 2019). The scientific description of the species includes an adult body mass estimate of 16–18 kg (Yates, 2015), while Rovinsky et al. (2019) estimate that it weighed 14.5–17.8 kg, which are consistent with each other, especially given the variance that sexual dimorphism would add, as evidenced by a similar body mass estimate for of its sister species, T. cynocephalus, of a mean 16.7kg (mean 19.7kg for males; mean 13.7kg for females) (Rovinsky et al., 2021).

Other undiagnostic material of Thylacinus spp. is known of Pliocene age from both mainland Australia and New Guinea. Plane (1976) reported a partial P2 from the Awe Local Fauna (New Guinea) which has been broadly dated to 3.3–2.4 Ma using K/Ar radiometric dating (Hoch & Holm, 1986). Dawson et al. (1999) reported a partial left dentary from the Big Sink Local Fauna, from the Wellington Caves complex, New South Wales, which can be dated to around ~4.2–3.6 Ma (Rovinsky et al., 2019). Mackness et al. (2002) reported a partial right dentary, and Louys & Price (2015) a partial right maxilla and partial right dentary, with all three coming from the Chinchilla Local Fauna of the Chinchilla Sands in the western Darling Downs, south-east Queensland, which dated to around ~4.2–3.6 Ma (Rovinsky et al., 2019). The clear absence of any known Pliocene age material of Thylacinus spp. from Tasmania may have a natural explanation.

Biology & Ecology

The species was strongly sexually dimorphic (Ride, 1964; Lowry, 1972:24; Rovinsky et al., 2020), and probably functionally so (Rovinsky et al., 2020; Rovinsky, 2023a), meaning that the two sexes likely had different ecologies (Rovinsky et al., 2020; Rovinsky, 2023a).

 

 

Diet (excluding claims of domestic predation):

"The thylacines hunt the kangaroos and bandicoots, and also attack the echidnas, which they succeed in strangling and devouring despite the spines that constitute the defensive armor of these singular mammals. It is even asserted that formerly, while they were as yet wandering upon the sea shore, they fed greedily upon the remains of seals, decayed fish and molluscs cast up by the waves"

Interspecific (interspecies) aggression

Attacks on humans:

Reported thylacine attacks on humans are extremely rare. In all cases, either the animal was severely incapacitated, or it is too difficult to conclude who the true aggressor was. See (Paddle, 2000:92-93) for an extended discussion of reported thylacine attacks.

 

"A curious circumstance happened at Mr. Blinkworth's, Jerusalem, the other day. A native tiger, as it is called, boldly entered his cottage, where his family was assembled, and seized one of the little children by the hair, but fortunately missed its bite. Mr. Blinkworth who was confined to the house with a lame hand, alertly seized the animal by the tail and dashing it on the ground speedily killed it."

Source: Hobart Town Courier, Saturday, 17 April, 1830

 

The Sydney Morning Herald (22 May, 1872) reported that a Mr James Jones was approached by a tiger coming out of the scrub (quoted by Whitley, 1973).

 

Distribution

Tasmania (historically), mainland Australia (pre-historically) & New Guinea (pre-historically). I have begun to compile a separate list of fossil sites containing the thylacine.

Type locality: "Neighbourhood of the highest mountainous parts of Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania, Australia)" (Jackson & Groves, 2015:77)

 

The species has been reported as absent from King Island off Tasmania (Campbell, 1888:164; Emu Bay Times and North West and West Coast Advocate 24.ix.1898:3; Marshall & Hope, 1973).

Historical preserved specimens that have been lost

Lost specimens

While we might have lost the thylacine, there are many specimens in both museum and private collections. However, many of these have been lost, twice in a sense:

"A total of 46 specimens are noted as having been destroyed, the majority lost in bombing raids during the Second World War." (Sleightholme & Campbell, 2018:508)

Lost taxidermy specimen

An 1876 Romain Talbot magic lantern slide depicts a taxidermied thylacine, but does not match any of the 102 taxidermy specimens known to survive (Dr. Stephen Sleightholme, pers. comm. 2 December 2022) and thus almost certainly depicts a specimen that has since been lost.

The International Thylacine Specimen Database (ITSD)

The ITSD is a database of most known preserved thylacine specimens (subfossils are not included at present) held in museum collections around the world; and in 9 further instances, in private collections as well. The 5th edition the database is available as a CD (as were previous versions); however, they are only available to scientists and thus the public is deprived of much valuable information. But a basic breakdown of the database can be found online. A sixth revision was published in 2017 (Sleightholme & Ayliffe, 2017; Sleightholme & Campbell, 2018).

Multimedia

I have compiled an exhaustive list of over 40 documentaries and television segments on the thylacine.

All but one (the Randall Stewart film) of the historical films of thylacines can be viewed at the Thylacine Museum.

Photographs

Thylacine researchers Dr. Stephen Sleightholme and Cameron Campbell have compiled the Thylacine Image Registry (TIR) of all known photographs of living or recently killed individuals, totalling 111 photographs and 2 film stills from a lost film (Sleightholme & Campbell, 2021a). Since then, the lost Randall Stewart film was rediscovered by researcher Andrew Vamvatsikos, thereby removing the two film stills from the registry, while several other photographs have since been discovered. A revised paper collating these changes is planned by Dr. Sleightholme.

Above: An alleged thylacine den/lair, photographed by Dudley Le Souef c.1900-1911. A thylacine is said to have been extracted from here and sent to Melbourne Zoo (Paddle, 1992). The site was rediscovered in 2001 and proved too shallow and otherwise unsuitable to have been a permanent thylacine lair (Medlock, 2023).
