They are friends
(idk when yellow footed rock wallabies first broke off into an individual species, but perhaps Thylacinus Cynocephalus was on the mainland then)
Also I found the resource I've been looking for to make that art project of thylacinid family tree.
Haha that's cool I like this theory
(Also note: no shade to you op. that taxidermy was made super inaccurately, they could kinda stand on their tails but not like a kangaroo like in that taxidermy stance)
But I love this!! I definitely think he might be a Thylacine now XD
He’s a thylacine. Thylacinus cynocephalus. Also known as the Tasmanian wolf or Tasmanian tiger.
Sounds like a bold claim to make? Let’s look at the facts.

i miss thylacines
some more images of the thylacine you have probably never seen before
The central continent of my worldbuilding world is dominated by marsupials and monotremes, and birds. There are several species of thylacine, and one — which is essentially our Thylacinus cynocephalus — is domesticated.
They are a recent domestication, with about 250 generations having passed. Compared to the wild ancestors, they have similar builds, but with more colours, variation in size, and longer lifespans (12-20 years). They have lost their natural reclusive nature and though shy, are friendly and inquisitive and trainable to a point. Most prefer to be solitary or tolerate the presence of 1-2 others, though get along well with other calm-tempered species. Their prey drive is greatly reduced but many suffer anxiety in loud or busy environments.
