Thylacine – The Tragedy of the Tasmanian Tiger | Eric Guiler | 1985 [USED – HCDJ]

Written by Dr Eric Guiler, who spent decades researching the thylacine and led the last official search expeditions for surviving animals in Tasmania. This book traces the thylacine from fossil evidence and Aboriginal rock art through to the bounty hunting era, the last captive animals at Hobart Zoo, and the searches conducted after the species was declared extinct.

Guiler's firsthand involvement in thylacine research makes this a primary source as much as a history — he knew the subject from the field, not just the archive.
