I got taught that the name for the thylacine was the "tasmanian tiger" all through school. No one calls it a wolf in AUS as far as i know. Also there have been heaps of "unofficial" sitings and even supposed video footage of the animal long after it was extinct. There was something on a current affairs show about it last year.
EDIT: A site about the issues of cloning the thylacine and other information about them.
