I have always thought that the dead “Chupacabras” from the American Southwest look like Tasmanian Thylacine’s with some sort of disease. The pictures I have seen on the web all seem to have the telltale stripes on the hind quarters and the tail that seems to point slightly down. It also seems plausible that a few of these things were brought to America for whatever reason and eventually escaped or just let go. Anyway, they look similar to me.

The indigenous dog of Indonesia is a dead-ringer for the aussie dingo, aboriginal rock-art shows the thylacine...
...but every attempt at trying to find an image of the Indonesian dog resulted in images of captured dogs in bags being beaten with sticks whilst still alive to tenderize their meat...and scenes of street vendors selling cooked dog in Indonesia.
The wild dog of South East Asia most resembles the dingo:
DOHLES IN A PACK.

THYLACINE everything you might want to know
There is evidence for year-round breeding, although the peak breeding season was in winter and spring, producing up to 4 cubs per litter (typically 2 or 3), carrying the young in a pouch for up to 3 months and protecting them until they were at least half adult size. Early pouch young were hairless and blind, but they had their eyes open and were fully furred by the time they left the pouch. After leaving the pouch until they were developed enough to assist, the juveniles would remain in the lair while the female hunted.
