Last Tasmanian Tiger, Thylacine, 1933

An extremely agitated thylacine. Notice that when rearing up on its hind legs, it often rests the entire heel on the ground in a "plantigrade" stance. This accounts for the long heel mark sometimes seen in its tracks. This doesn't usually occur in dogs, as they walk primarily on just their toes.

I would have loved to have seen one of these gorgeous creatures.

so sad :(

[aristotlestudent]

Self righteous ignorant kids see an animal that went extinct in Australia and blame "70% of Americans." From children who have only seen the world from a t.v...

Plenty of animals have gone extinct and there is plenty of blame to go around. Just do a search of YOUR area.

The largest polluter today is China.

The banking families that control where corporations go and take advantage of slave labor aren't American or Chinese.

People AND animals are being screwed by international corporations.

How sad, now I will never know what one tastes like

[DareYouNotToClick1]

The reason this animal is extinct was because, like the dodo, it was too stupid and weak to stay alive.It also couln't breed with any tigers or kangeroos either. It deserves to be extincted.

Why would they make a game of these creatures. If they ate their crops then why not just leave or defend their crops. not go after them and make a game of it. tsst tsst...Society

@LiiveRun You really need to get your facts straight. There are at least three problems with your statements.

1) The Tasmanian Tiger is not a tiger. It is not even related to tigers. It is a marsupial (like the Kangaroo). So putting a tiger in there wouldn't have helped. You can't cross-breed different species.

2) Cross-bred species are sterile. So this idea wouldn't have worked.

2) This happened in Austraila, --not-- America. Tasmanian tigers lived in Tasmania, Australian Island

@Killmashine Actually let me correct you on one thing: The US introduced catalytic converters and banned leaded gasoline (petrol), finally prohibiting its sale in 1986. In Europe it was not completely prohibited until 2001 -- 15 years later. If Europeans care about nature that is good because there is not much nature left in Europe after thousands of years of civilisation.
