In this #openaccess jam, we look at the idea of convergent #evolution between the #thylacine and the 'usual suspects' - the #wolf or dog
THREAD > 1/18 One of the most obvious aspects of the thylacine is that they don't really look much like any marsupial living today.
They do, however, look a lot like placental canids (wolves, dogs & relatives).
So much so that they are sometimes known as the 'marsupial wolf'!
