The Tasmanian tiger, also known as the Tasmanian wolf, was a carnivorous marsupial that roamed the Australian mainland and the islands of Tasmania and New Guinea islands. However, before Europeans arrived, it became extinct in New Guinea and mainland Australia around 3,600-3,200 years ago. It is believed that the introduction of the dingo may have contributed to its extinction, though dingoes never reached Tasmania. Before European settlement, an estimated 5,000 Tasmanian tigers remained in the wild in Tasmania. But by the nineteenth century, they were seen as a threat to farmers' livestock, and bounty hunting was introduced. Sadly, the last known Tasmanian tiger died in 1936 at Hobart Zoo in Tasmania.
However, reports still circulate of this striped creature's sightings and discussions of bringing it back through cloning its DNA.
Regardless, it is time to take a walkabout Within the Mists of Tasmania with Gary and GoldieAnn and learn about Thylacine.
