I came here from another forum - abt thylacoleo.. and I was fascinated with your interesting site. But i do have one question: why do you call Thylacine a "tyger"?
It almost completely resembled a typical placental canid, like, say, koyot or small wolf. And all its ways were quite canid-like and had nothing to do with cats... Calling it a cat's name because of stripes... - well it's like calling a zebra an african tiger :-)))
Isn't it better to call it simply after its real scientific name - thylacine (sounds beautiful and specific) or a tassie-wolf?

Hope you will find the creature alive again and the world can get to know one of the most striking example of parallel evolution better. Good Luck! :-)

In the early days of white settlement in Oz people weren't too interested in anatomical exactitude. For example a "Tasmanian Oak" is absolutely nothing like an oak (quercus), but is a eucalypt, pure and simple. Same with a "wild cherry", though that isn't a eucalypt, but is semi-parasitic on eucalypts.
