There’s the Loch Ness monster in Scotland. And in the Himalayas, there’s the yeti, the Abominable Snowman. In Tasmania—a teardrop of an island under the eye of the Australian mainland—there’s the thylacine… a creature that brings out folklore… and folks armed with grainy images, convinced they’ve seen the thing. But unlike other mythical creatures, the thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, actually—indisputably— existed, an apex predator the size of a small wolf, roamed the island as recently as last century. which gives hope to so many obsessives, dreamers and true believers, looking for the Tasmanian tiger in the bush… and, as you’ll see, in the lab. This is a story that says as much about human nature as it does nature nature. Further proof that—even in the face of science and logic—passion survives in the wild just fine.
