66 reviewsFirst published under the title Thylacine in 2003 in hardback. It was winner of the Royal Zoological Society’s Whitley Award for Historical Zoology, 2004. This updated edition includes the latest research on whether it could ever be cloned & returned to the wild.
The tragic story of how ignorance, fear & lack of care led to the disappearance of the famous Tasmanian tiger.
Is it still out there? People claim to keep seeing it still.
Once the world's largest marsupial predator, the Tasmanian tiger roamed the Australian mainland. Then confined to Tasmania for thousands of years, it was deliberately hunted down by settlers through fear, ignorance & greed. But was it a savage sheep killer or a shy & fussy nocturnal feeder? Did the last tiger die in a Hobart zoo in 1936, or did a few survive in the wild? And did it really drink its victims' blood?
A number of Australian species have miraculously reappeared after being labelled as extinct. Perhaps the tiger is still with us. And if it's not, can it really be brought back by cloning & returned to the wild?
