Thyacline- tasmanian wolf/ tasmanian tiger.It is generally agreed that this carnivorous (meat eating) marsupial is extinct, though occasionally there is local unconfirmed sightings in its "former" wild habitat of Tasmania. The thylacine is the shape and size of a big dog (especially like a dog in forequarters and head) , and observation suggestion that it acted in a very dog like manner (ie running, sitting, sun baking, etc) )The base colour of the animal was brownish (fawn through to dark brown) with a cream coloured belly. One very unique aspect was that its jaw could open extremely wide. Its tail was very straight more like a thin Kangaroos tail and did not wag like a dogs. 

A grizzly bear can run up to about forty miles per hour.

India used to be well known for spices like cinnamon.
