Online - Nevermore: Remembering the Thylacine, aka the Tasmanian Tiger

Part three in a four-part series about extinct species.

Was it a tiger? A dog? A threat? A monster? It was none of the aforementioned. Learn all about the demise of the Thylacine, AKA Tasmaniam Wolf or Tasmanian Tiger, a carnivorous marsupial once indigenous to Australia and Tasmania. Today the animal is a legend, romanticized by many. But when it roamed the forests it was hunted to extinction by ignorant European settlers who saw it as a threat to their livestock. The last Thylacine, Benjamin, died in the Hobart Zoo in Tasmania on September 6, 1936.
