Thylacine!
It was on Discovery Channel, I think, that they said alot of biologists believed them to be only 'functionally extinct', which means small pockets may still be alive, but there's almost no hope of full recovery...especially with the method of wood-cutting used in Tasmania, where they burn from the outside of a circle inwards (presumably to kill any animals inside so they can keep their jobs, cause if they're caught destroying thylacine habitat they'd all get thrown in jail).

...Sorry to butt in, but they don't use forestry methods like that in Tassie ^^;; It's quite highly regulated these days*
and they're not considered functionally extinct, just extinct ;_; Although some rangers claim they are still there and have learnt to hide from people (similar to an previously thought extinct bear species)
*I'm not for it though, I just dislike incorrect information XD

...odd. o.o Guess the info on the Discovery Channel (namely the show about cyptids) is outdated. Well, you can't blame me for believing it, it was the only info I was given. XD; Sorry.
Though, they did use the term 'functionally extinct', which would support the rangers theory...plus, things long thought extinct HAVE survived. Coelocanth, for example.

No no, I don't blame you XD I even wish I had a discovery channel to watch c:
Yeah, but with the Tasmanian Tiger... ;__; Personally I'd like to half-hope it but...there's just so few areas for it to hide in, those small pockets are so dense that something of the thylacines size would not be able to live there ;_;
Although, that ranger DID say he had seen one at the National Park...some Mountain one -forget-
To lighten the mood:

Bringing back one of the tiger's genes ;p
Although, I wish they'd link to an actual science journal or cite it. I'm leery of how the news reports things ;_;

Those science dudes think it's batter to make one than look for one: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/.....20/2249778.htm
I would love to see it alive though :3
