A comprehensive exploration of the thylacine, the Tasmanain Tiger, which until the mid-20th century was the world’s largest carnivorous marsupial; its disappearance has left many questions and contradictions.
With 78 contributors, this work presents an accurate, evidence-based profile of the thylacine, examining its ecology, evolution, encounters with humans, persecution, assumed extinction and its appearance in fiction. The final chapters explore the future for this iconic species — a symbol of extinction but also hope.
