Why did marsupials become extinct?

Before the arrival of immigrants, marsupials had been living a leisurely life. It was not until 1770 that British explorer Kirk explored Australia that the fate of marsupials changed. They are regarded as the enemies of mankind and the terrible "sheep killers", and they are slaughtered and almost extinct with the encouragement of the government reward system. When the government saw the extinction trend of the marsupial wolf, the situation was irreparable. Marsupials often lurk in trees. When it sees its prey, it will suddenly jump on its back and bite off its neck. Because it often attacks sheep, it is hated by herders.

1999, Mike Archie, curator of the Australian Museum, discovered a small marsupial specimen that had been kept in alcohol since 1866 in museum of sydney. Mike Archie began to study the possibility of extracting DNA from it to revive marsupials. On May 3, 2000, 6 similar specimens were found in other museums, which made the related gene bank more complete. Since the arrival of Tasmanian immigrants, the survival of the marsupial wolf has been in crisis. In the 20 years since 1888, when the government ordered the killing of marsupials, 2,268 marsupials were killed. The last marsupial wolf died on September 7th, 1936, at Hobart Zoo in Tasmania.

People found murals painted by ancient residents 6.5438 million years ago on rocks in Australia, from which we can know that marsupials once lived in this ancient land. Now, in Tasmania, there is a marsupial sanctuary. No matter what the purpose is, in short, such a precious animal-marsupials, has become extinct. After a flash in the pan, the marsupial finally disappeared from the earth forever.
