The Thylacine Story

#thylacine #tasmaniantiger #australia
The Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian Tiger, is (or was) a creature surrounded by mystery. We don't know a lot about its life, how it declined on mainland Tasmania or even some basic facts about the last one known to have been kept in a zoo. Declared extinct, could the thylacine still be out there? Could it make a comeback somehow? This short documentary video attempts to tell the story of one of Australia's greatest mysteries - the thylacine. Just over 100 years ago it could be seen in zoos - today, the thylacine can only be seen from its remains on display at museums, universities and other institutions.

After doing my Unsolved Mysteries Of Australia Iceberg video, I knew I had to do an entry from it for my next video, so here it is! I'm not sure what kind of video I will do next, whether it will be from the iceberg or another mysterious topic, but I have a big list to get through and I hope you'll stick around and see what I can come up with.
