Mysterious Tasmanian Tiger May Not Be Extinct

Australian wildlife scientists have re-opened the cryptic case of the Tasmanian tiger, a marsupial carnivore that resembled a striped coyote and which was last seen alive more than 70 years ago.

Scientists think chances are slim that Thylacinus cynocephalus still roams remote areas of Tasmania, the large island just south of Australia, but they can't help but turn over every possible leaf for evidence.

The last wild Tasmanian tiger was killed by a farmer around 1930, and the last captive died in 1936 at the Hobart Zoo in Tasmania's capital. Fifty years later, the species was declared extinct.

I've always hoped that they'll either find some in the wild or somehow be able to clone embreoes from the preserved dead ones they have, i would find it just simply amazing to see someting that people have believe to have died out over 70 years ago.

Yeah, so true mel, and it always amazes me that humans know so little yet so much about this planet, every day there's people discovering new species or breeds of animals it just makes you think, wow, this planet we're on is so full of life and there are billions of plants and animals out there that we probably still don't know about.
