to think that such a beautiful animal is extinct is a thought that should not be thought, these creatures had just as much right to live as you and I, the same thing could happen to oother animals, it is already too late for the caspian tiger and the remaining tigers of the world do not see a good future ahead of them. same could be said for many other animals. i wish there could be some survivors, i would love people to go on an expedition to try and find, if there are, the last thylacine.

I'm here in Tasmania, and on the positive side, I can tell you there a tons of sightings that never get reported.
On the negative side, deforestation and the widespread use of 1080 poison...
IMO, it's best if the Tiger were to be rediscovered. The Tiger could heroically save Tasmania, give her a second chance as it were...

'There [sic] still out there.'
You make a compelling case.
It is entirely probable that the Thylacines still exist in a dwindling populations of their once gigantic species. The only probable explanation for why we don't see them that often is because of instinct. Years of hunting must of brought some sense of fear of any human civilization. Think about it this way, if the entire human race was brought down to it's knees with a few survivors, well, the smart thing to do would be to avoid the thing that had caused such devastation. This doesn't mean tha

@ferretsea Also there are parts of Tasmania that has never had the foot of man step on it,many many parts of the state are still unexplored and it is possible the thylacine exists here

Even if there was still be thylacines left, I'm worried their population size would be very small. The genetic variation must be low, meaning even if the population continues to exists, it's vulnerable to diseases and has low birth rate. All these are problems with other species who have gone through genetic bottle necks. But still, small population of thylacines would be better than no thylacines at all.

@Feanorielle Some species can survive being bottlenecked,such as Cheetahs. Though Cheetahs have a rather low survival rate often due to low immunity and they are still enough of them out there to keep the population alive. Virtually all cheetahs are related
