Only by Americans, you American.


Every man and his dog have had an "unofficial" sighting, even I have had one.

And everyone has a mate who was attacked by one, one time while out drinking.

Jeanette X I've heard about the sightings. I'm skeptical though. Where can I find the alleged video footage?
Sep 8th, 2003 09:13 PM
Blue I got taught that the name for the thylacine was the "tasmanian tiger" all through school. No one calls it a wolf in AUS as far as i know. Also there have been heaps of "unofficial" sitings and even supposed video footage of the animal long after it was extinct. There was something on a current affairs show about it last year.

EDIT: A site about the issues of cloning the thylacine and other information about them.

imported_Hollycaust will never be extinct.



But I'm going to bring this bad bitch back to life. Seriously, who wouldn't want that fur?

I understand that the thylacine is dead and gone. But I think is useful as a symbol of extinction and a reminder for vigilance.

The proper name is thylacine. It had numerous names, including Tasmainain tiger, but Tasmainian wolf was the most commonly used.

Well, if they stopped trying to eat all those rabbits, maybe the rabbits would stop stuffing dynamite down their pants.

It had the biggest jaw of any marsupial. And thats where my knowledge ends.

Perndog I think blue jays are beautiful, and they're not endangered, thus, I don't care about all those endangered species because after they die off I will still have blue jays.

The_Rorschach Not to be overly cynical, but entropy embraces everything. In a universe where entire galaxies can disappear like grains of sand through an hourglass, what is one species?

Sethomas I like to flavour my shark-fin soup with powdered black rhinocerous horn. You know, for fertility.

Jeanette X Ah yes. The pika. I put one in my "cute things" thread.

Sep 7th, 2003 09:37 PM
CaptainBubba Thats it Jeanette! Tapir!

Also heres a pic of a Pika.



They're like really small bunny/hamster mixes. Basically the cutest thing on earth.
Sep 7th, 2003 09:35 PM
Immortal Goat Hey, on that cloning thing, i'm just going by what i heard about it on TechTV, and if it was inaccurate, don't blame me, blame the press.

You mean a baby tapir?

CaptainBubba I want one as a pet.

I have a thing for wierd and rare animals. So far I want one of these, a "pika", and this wierd pig thing with zebra stripes whose name I forget.

Those puppies they show in the page about Benjamin are awsome. They're so cute but have such evil mouths.

O71394658 99% of all the species that ever lived are now extinct. It sucks, but it's natural selection, even if "man" was involved.

It's competition (I would believe this was due to land encroachment by humans). They lost.

Sep 7th, 2003 08:53 PM
Jeanette X Nobody can say for sure if there still are thylacines around. I certainly hope there are. But they are offically extinct.

I think the thylacine is cute, personally.

ScruU2wice im with kevin thats one scary hound

I watch alotta tv and they show these people saying that there been sightings of these wolves around australia. They've just grown a fear of humans. I'm one of those people that like to believe in this kinda. However theres no conclusive evidence, to there existence. theres some more info on this site:
