Bernhard Grzimek, a famous zoologist, whom I read frequently as a youth, opined that the thylacine might not yet be extinct, but would soon vanish from the world forever. He thought they could still be saved by setting aside some open land and stocking it with enough kangaroos and wallibies for their needs.He said to would cost merely a fraction of the money paid to restore some famous Egyption sculptures. But the government did not care to go to this length.

I, too, fantasized in my youth about finding and saving the last remianing thylacines. But Grimek appears to have been correct. I find next to no credible evidence for the thylacine's possible survival.
