Archaeologists in Australia have discovered centuries-old Indigenous rock art depicting Tasmanian devils and the now-extinct Tasmanian tiger, suggesting these marsupials lived longer than previously thought. The team documented around 14 new rock-art drawings of the thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus), a carnivorous marsupial, and two images of the Tasmanian devil in Arnhem Land, northern Australia. The Tasmanian tigers are believed to have gone extinct on the Australian mainland around 3,000 years ago, but survived on the island of Tasmania until 1936, when they died at a zoo. The new findings raise the possibility that these species survived longer in northern regions than previously believed. The researchers are working with Aboriginal communities to further understand the importance of the animals' importance.
