Marsupial believed extinct, the Tasmanian tiger (9)

I believe the answer is:

thylacine

(Other definitions for thylacine that I've seen before include "something stripy not seen for many years" , "Extinct creature" , "Tasmanian tiger" , "Tasmanian wolf; lean, itchy (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
