In Australia they're more commonly known as Tasmanian Tigers. The one in the picture above died in 1936.

However if you speak to many locals, specifically in northern Tasmania, they are adamant that they are not extinct. With sightings and occasional proof put forward of their existence.

Incredible.. as a Texas native it’s sad to know that once upon a time we had local seals and lobster native to our beaches until the late 1800s - early 1900s.

Very good Australian movie called "The Hunter" starring Willem Dafoe about a recently discovered, last living thylacine in Tasmania. Beautifully shot and well acted.
