I wish they didn't extinct
They look amazing, better than pandas

sorry man it's dead, their island is one big mining facility anyway

You my guys really underestimating how many humans now everywhere.
They are dead, and their forest home is assimilated.

There are probably 10 left.

meme animal. nobody would give a shit if they weren't extinct. in fact they went extinct because nobody gave a shit about them

I hope one of the cloning operations takes off, even if they are truly extinct.
But there are a lot of forests that people still don't live. Can't speak for Australia specifically though.

Well yeah, finding something once thought to be extinct is always interesting. They went extinct because they were killing sheep, and it turns out people like to feed their families instead of stripey pouch dogs.

>implying any of you cretins give a shit about any animal that isn't MUH FIDO or MUH KOT which you then desperately try to force/proselytize onto the rest of us

You people are barely human, a small nudge above Australopithecus.

Tasmania is really the least populated part of Australia, if there's any species that has a hope of not being extinct its the thylacine.

Am Tasmanian. Never seen one but know people who swear they have, although years back, talking 20+ now. Tassie still has a shitload of basically unexplored unpenetrable bushland too so I'm not 100% convinced they're extinct.

It's been 80 years since the last one died in captivity. There have been none captured, killed or photographed and only a handful of supposed sightings since.
This is a relatively large carnivorous animal living on a relatively small island, not an insect or a deep sea fish. If they were still around, we would have a whole lot more evidence.

Except their historical range didn't include the remaining wilderness. Sure it's dense but there are scientific surveys of parts of it reasonably often. I want to believe but there's no reliable evidence.

As a Tasmanian, I can say that I've never, ever seen one

I wouldn't notice Humphrey the bear drinking beer on my couch if I was balls deep in my sister either.

I'm not one of those guys. I just don't care about mammals at all. nice getting triggered over your own stupid assumptions
