Tasmanian Tiger - The tragic story of the thylacine

+

Once the world's largest marsupial predator, the Tasmanian tiger roamed the Australian mainland. Then Confined to Tasmania for thousands of years, it was deliberately hunted down by settlers through fear, ignorance and greed. But was it a savage sheep killer or a shy and fussy nocturnal feeder? Did the last tiger doe in the Hobart zoo in 1936, or did a few survive in the wild? And did it really drink its victims blood?

A number of Australian species have miraculously reappeared after being labelled  extinct. Perhaps the tiger is still with us. And if its not, can it really be brought by cloning and returned to the wild?
