Thylacine aka Tasmanian Wolf. (Plus "You Can Go Home Again")

In addition to a brief, wishful-thinking introductory clip of an alleged recent sighting, this video contains all known footage of Thylacinus cynocephalus, the largest predatory marsupial of modern times. The Thylacine is also known as the Tasmanian wolf and the Tasmanian tiger, though it was of course neither wolf nor tiger. It has been extinct for 72 years. The last one died in the zoo at Hobart, Tasmania in 1936. As you will see, the creature's quarters were not conducive to long life.



On the lighter side, Hoofy and Boo are at it--and at one another--again (after a very brief commercial).
