Guest Nicholas Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 ScienceDaily (Jan. 13, 2009) — All the genes that the exotic Tasmanian Tiger inherited only from its mother will be revealed by an international team of scientists in a research paper to be published on 13 January 2009 in the online edition of Genome Research. The research marks the first successful sequencing of genes from this carnivorous marsupial, which looked like a large tiger-striped dog and became extinct in 1936. Find the article HERE!

Auspex Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 That's right, sports fans: there were Thylacines at the National Zoo 100 years ago!

Guest Nicholas Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 That's right, sports fans: there were Thylacines at the National Zoo 100 years ago! Less! A thought just crossed my mind, do they not have a fetal Thylacines in a jar in a lab somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has become a cryptzoologist fan favorite. I've not been convinced by their findings as of yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 When I was at the Smithsonian a while back I was so dissappointed with their mounted Thylacine. They had it behind a curtain with a Dingo in front of it. You could barely see it, but I had to take a photo anyways. For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
