I don't know about that. I'm certainly no expert, but the Thylacine was a carnivore. As crazy as it sounds, it would seem to be more likely to breed one from a Tasmanian Devil. As marsupials are 'born' the size of a peanut, the actual parent wouldn't matter.
There has been articles floating around from time to time about a recreation of the Thylacine, but I think the stumbling block is the inability to get enough genetic information, despite the last living example living in captivity in 1936. Legend has it that the corpse was thrown out with the trash, althogh I'm not sure I believe that. You'd think they would have at least embalmed or frozen the corpse, but I guess 1930's conservation thinking didn't exist or was vastly different.
You can also find a rich litany of resources on the web of reported thylacine sightings, though none have ever been photographed accurately or verified. It does seem somewhat likely that a small family or two still lives deep in the Tasmanian wilderness.
