Re: The Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger
[
I]I thought its extinction was brought about almost entirely by us humans - the thylacine was believed to be taking livestock, so farmers put a bounty on its head and wiped the species out

This
is what happened - plus dogs. I live in Tasmania and definitely do not believe any are left.
Also we have just spent millions of dollars because someone said they thought they had seen a fox here - now after $30million has been spent and not one single one found they are winding down the program while our hospital system is in complete disarray with no finance available. Tasmania is not the fairy tale place many would have you believe.
