- Description
- "The last survivor of a very ancient and once diverse family of carnivorous marsupials, the thylacine is a truly amazing and beautiful mammal. Sadly, it is the victim of one of man's most atrocious acts of destruction toward the fauna of Australia. Out of misunderstanding, irrational fear and simply because it was perceived as a threat to economic interests, a genocidal assault was waged against the species. Thus, thousands of thylacines were destroyed by man during the 19th and early 20th centuries. By the time that this action was seen as the horrible tragedy that it truly was, the thylacine had been persecuted nearly to extinction." http://www.naturalworlds.org/thylacine/
