Sugar glider - bottom pic.
The Thylacine's skull certainly looks canine to the untrained eye, but the differences can be seen right away in its greater number of carnassial teeth.
i would suggest saving these pics to you harddrive, re-naming them and uploading them again. i didn't cheat though btw..
