Covers the Thylacine from evolution to extinction to fiction and presents the best evidence to date for the species’ post 1936 survival. Until the mid-20th century, the Thylacine was the world’s largest carnivorous marsupial, and its disappearance has left many questions and contradictions. Alternately portrayed as both a scourge and high value commodity, the Thylacine’s ecology and behaviour were known only anecdotally. In recent years, its taxonomic position, ecology, behaviour and body size have all been re-examined scientifically, while advances in genetics have presented the potential for de-extinction (really?).
