'Crash-tested' skulls throw light on extinctions

our own lineage survived not because of how strong we bite... rofl...

Something to get yer teeth into....

Did this lady say the Tasmanian tiger was extinct 3000 years ago?!

They were extinct by British settlers 150 years ago. Furthermore there are no dingoes in Tasmania, so they offered no direct competition to the Tassie Tiger.

lol she said 3000 years ago but yet she showed some pictures of some tasmanian tigers

Yeah guys, I hate being this mean to you, but you're both retarded. She said Australian *mainland* for a reason.

so tasmanian tigers lived in more areas not only australia? how can they become extinct then if they were so widely spread

No. She didn't say that. Hope that answers your question.

(She said it was wiped out from the Australian mainland 3,000 years ago. And there are dingoes in Australia.)

I was just about to ask what she said... I was thinking on how good definition the 3000 years ago B&W cameras had. And I also read about dingoes still not extinct.

Emerson... she said, "from the Australian mainland," where from it is believed to have been wiped out BEFORE settlement. The Reason it is called the "TASMANIAN Tiger" is because they found them *gasp* in Tasmania, not on mainland Australia 0:50 ... extend that to the rest of your comment about Dingos who WERE on the mainland and likely contributed to their extinction in THAT particular location.

Wow...What a prick you are.
