Thylacine is commonly known as the Tasmanian Tiger, was the largest known carnivorous MARSUPIAL of modern times, become extinct in the 20th century (7 September 1936), and has some really impressive features such as 46 teeth and a jaws able to open at an unusual 120 degrees.

An amazing... but extinct animal!

This video was shot in 1933 by the naturalist David Fleay.

NOTE, TO PEOPLE WHO INSIST IN HAVING RACIAL ARGUMENTATIONS:
The conquests/damage (good/bad things) that each race/civilisation(group of men) is responsible for, is proportional to their power. Which means, when whites colonized the world they were the most powerful race so the good things/damage caused to the world is proportional to that huge power. Another example is the Maoris, which were the race that ruled New Zealand from 14th century until white men arrival, they were responsible for 32 species extinctions.
On the other end, in Africa still exist lions, elephants, etc. (megafauna), not because indigenous people had nature conservation awareness, but because those people were incapable of developing technologies efficient enough to give them advantage over that animals (harsh climate, lack of natural resources, etc may contribute to this inability to build complex technologies), unlike the other races that are responsible for extinctions due to over-hunting (direct), or responsible for extinctions caused by pollution from their activities (indirect).
This means that given the chance of superiority any human race will behave the same way, which is get the most/best to themselves (possibly causing problems to other live beings).

  • I came here to see a video with an extinct animal. What I found was that, and a description that had nothing to do with the animal, only some idiotic rant about how human industrial power is correlated with animal species extinction. Just post some links to relevant anthropological studies by real authorities on the subject and be done with it.

  • @genesisjkc

    Actually, the description is about the animal. As for the last part, do you really want there was an essay in a description box of a youtube video (with "links to relevant anthropological studies by real authorities on the subject") just to justify asking an end to the racist comments? ...don't be an jerk and try to understanding the context of what was said.

    Anyway, thanks for watching and for the ranting comment to. ;)

  • Why would anyone make racial comments on a video featuring old footage of an extinct marsupial? Seriously? How horrible of a person do you have to be to think a glimpse at an extinct animal has anything to do with any kind of human issue? Mind-boggling. Anyway, thanks for sharing this precious footage of an animal lost to the world. As we lose more and more species, this kind of documentation becomes increasingly important.

  • The Australians and their ancestors brits not only exterminated the Thylacine. They also committed genocide against the Tasmanian Aboriginal People. The most perfect crime against humanity ever committed, 100% extermination. There are many black legends of Spaniards murdering indians, of USA whites genociding other indians, Nazis killing Jews, Jews killing Palestinians. But, 100% crime perfection. only the Brit-Australians, perfect in its thoroughness, perfect in that is forgotten and unknown.
