Paperwork

The Tasmanian Tiger, lost to us only recently in the 20th century, evokes images of far-off places and times long past. The amazing story of the thylacine , or Tasmanian Tiger, starts with the European discovery of Van Dieman’s Land, or Tasmania as it is known today, and leads into the death of the last one in captivity in 1936. We are drawn into a story of evolution and ecology, becoming familiar with the unique carnivorous marsupial of Tasmania. This elegantly written book contains interesting facts and first-hand accounts of those who where lucky enough to see this animal in the wild. David Owen continues with the current day debate – Is the tiger really gone? Or is it lurking still in the dark forests of Tasmania? Can this unique predator be resurrected with the modern technology of cloning? All the questions are examined in this exciting book about the Tasmanian Tiger.
