    This is interesting. This old footage was used so much back in the 1970s as a warning about what we could lose. People don't realise but back then tigers, rhinos and even African elephants were on the critically endangered list. They could have gone the same way.

      ​@@julia2k8 I mean, the species was kind of on its last legs anyway. They used to be far, far more numerous and widespread, until their population got decimated thousands of years ago. Then they reached a bottleneck and colonists were the last stroke of a long line of disasters for the species.
      Not defending what humans did, I hate to see beautiful creatures go, but the Thylacine was far from a healthy population and extinction is unfortunately a very common thing in nature, that can be triggered in a heartbeat.

    Being on the brink of extinction would suck so much, I can’t imagine how it felt for them. To be the last of their kind without even probably being aware of it. It sucks even more that people were the reason it went extinct, which is pretty much for most animals. People need to stop overhunting and killing, I don’t care what the reason is, not to mention it wasn’t even the Tasmanian tiger’s fault to begin with.

    I had the incredible experience of meeting and talking with David Fleay at his wildlife park. It was 1975, I was in my 20's, visiting Queensland, Australia. He was an amazing man and his park is his lasting tribute to his love of Australian wildlife. He did have one distinction apart from all others; he was bitten by THIS Thylacine, Benjamin, while photographing him in Hobart in 1933. He asked me why I came to Australia. I said that I was fascinated with Australia's wildlife from adolescence. I had excitedly read a National Geographic Magazine article on Australia, and the platypus that were brought from Australia to our National Zoo in Washington DC. He told me that he was responsible for bringing those platypus to America. David was as surprised as I was. We both then realized that he was a huge part of the reason that I flew across the world, and by strange coincidence chanced to meet him.

      Sorry to burst your bubble, but modern-day sightings of thylacines are little more than Australia's answer to Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster, a social phenomenon that's made up of little more than wishful thinking, misidentification and fake sightings for the sake of attention. Most "legit" sightings amount to someone briefly seeing a small dog-like creature with a long tail (as in a fox) running past them some 30 or so yards away and their imagination filling up the rest. If thylacines were still around, researches or some random shmoe would have found some evidence of them by now, like bones, hair or scat, but whenever some of that showed up, it was tested and turned out to belong to other animals. Thylacines definitely are extinct.

      That's why evolution tends to converge. There is a number of ways things can go, but usually only a handful provide significant advantages. Therefore, animals that approximate those traits tend to be selected more. That's why they tend to converge towards a similar body type or life style, even if they are still a bit different.
      The body shape of tasmanian tigers is similar to canida simply because that body shape works well for their lifestyles. You see, they are not the exact same. They differ in a number of ways, but the overall shape is very similar.

      @@tubal1 so, for example, on water, moving is very hard, so body shapes that suffer less resistance while moving on water provide a huge advantage over other animals.
      That's why both whales and fish (and specially sharks) have similar body types. It's not some magic going on. It's just that, if you're born with a body that has less resistance in water, you'll be more successful. Other animals with other body shapes did exist. They were just outcompted when those guys with better shapes came along.
      All that is only true for similar lifestyles, of course. Humans are very shitty as predators, but they have hards with which they can use tools, so suddenly the selective pressure wasn't got better fangs and faster bodies, but for finer motor control and big brains that could make better tools and cooperate (since humans are social animals).
