Is the extinct Tasmanian tiger coming back to life?

The Tasmanian Tiger was the largest carnivorous marsupial in modern times. It earned its name due to the stripes on its lower back. The species was declared extinct in 1936, with the last known individual dying in Hobart Zoo, Tasmania. It had some similarities to both tigers and dogs, but it was neither. The Tasmanian Tiger was a shy creature that avoided humans, posing no danger to us. Their extinction was primarily caused by hunting. Like history? Follow us @HistoryPhotographed 🌟 | History In
