Something you may not have ever seen before, because it went extinct in 1933. This is a Tasmanian Tiger. I would not have wanted to meet him in his native habitat.
There have been a lot of suggestions to bring them back. It might be possible through cloning. Chances are Margaret Siemers, even if they did manage to release them into the wild, you'd probably never see one, very secretive animals.
Shane Rea If I NEVER met one, I would be very happy. You may keep them in Tasmania. Small, quick, large small jaws. I have enough trouble living with spiders where I am. lol.
Shane Rea Unfortunately, I believe this will be the fate of many animals someday...the wild mustangs come to mind, among others. We can only hope that humanity comes around before many are lost forever.
Pam WhimsicalVintage Thanks for the info addition Pam. A wonderful read about this curious animal. Nice to see a better photograph of the animal there too.
Margaret Siemers There is a short film that this still came from. You can get a really good, if brief, look at him, especially the teeth. I'll have a look for tomorrow if I remember, or you could try You Tube.
I have never heard of this one. Very dog-like in appearance except for the coat. Very strong jaws.

Shane Rea Jokes aside, I think it would be something if mankind could correct at least one of the wrongs we had done to this world.
ReplyDeleteAnn Kennedy More closely related to cats. And a marsupial.
ReplyDeleteMargaret Siemers We hunted them to extinction, in the belief they stole sheep. Sad.
ReplyDeletePam WhimsicalVintage Unfortunately no solidly proven sightings. Sigh.

ReplyDeleteShane Rea Thank you, I may just do that later. Sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis blows my mind.
ReplyDeletePam, Australia has so many odd animals because, when the land broke off, animals evolved in isolation from the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting Charlotte Issyvoo - Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt's quite fascinating, yes. You're welcome.
