Interesting - thanks for posting. Whether the Thylacine is really extinct is questioned from time to time. There are numerous people who claim to have seen one in the Tasmanian wilderness but no one has provided documentary evidence of their existence - yet. It's very sad. The animal was the top level predator in Tasmania when Europeans arrived but it had the unfortunate habit of getting an easy meal by way of farmers' livestock. The fact that there is quite a lot of suitable habitat and potential food still available in Tasmania makes it just possible that it still exists, but it's probably unlikely.
