Yeah right. I tell them and they print it and next thing I've lost me Tassy Tiger. So how do i keep the cats down in the back yard then.
Be nice if they did find a few survivors, a captive breeding progam might re-establish numbers in the wild. You would think they would prey on foxes/rabbits? or is taz free of those? There extinction must rate as one of our most shameful records here. How many oz native mammals are thought extinct since white occupation? Hix?

Tasmania has some pretty dark and secret ravines, valleys ect so this little duck is very optimistic about someone finding one. It would be extremely cool if one did turn up unscathed and healthy.

i think that would be the last thing the tassie devil needs with its numbers already declining due to the illness they are getting,and the road toll..to get knocked of the top of the food chain could be a disaster for them,,there probably is ways to reestablish the tigers, anyway im an optimist,generally,but this is a pipedream ,i hope not, but i think the only way we are going to see a living tiger is when 'they' clone one,,

I desperately hope the thylacine has survived. It'd be just one of very few battles nature has won against the destructive influences of mankind. Shame the Japanese and similar countries who still hunt whales can't open their eyes before it's too late 
Talk about toads and their destructive influence...what about the creatures who put them there in the first place?

I like your odds Maggie! I sincerely hope they are still out there, and I personally believe they have survived. Just one look at them tells you they are an animal of survival and intellegence. I look on in disgust of mankind when I see the stuffed ones lying around in museums- what a beautiful animal! :evil:

Personally, I think they were probably in decline when white settlement started and then isolated to a few areas. They got a quick shove in their journey to extinction and no possibility of "bon chance" for their future. Vale.

Whats your theory on why they might have already been in decline when white settlers came Pete?
I was under the impression that the animals white settlers brought here, played a part, in degradation of their enviroment? not to mention the agricultural practices of the settlers themselves?

It is impossible to get that reward, one of the conditions is it must be caught legally, and the only way to do that is to get a scientific reseach permit, and they are not given out for the purpose of 'bounty hunting', therefore it can not be done.
And as for it's exsistance, I highly doubt it, thylacines were mainly found in open woodland and occationally open grasslands adjoining woodland. And they were not the best hunters either, the were 'clumbsy' runners, and would tire their prey(small wallabies) out over distances, rather than run it down, so rabbits would be a bad prey item. If they did hang on they would be around the south western forests, like Cradle Mt/Lake St Clair NP, or in the unprotected 'Tarkine', a large tract of wilderness, with a mosaic of habitats from coastal heaths to temperate rainfroest.
Just my 2 cents
