"Rather than searching ever more for charismatic missing species, such as thylacines in Australia, it would be a better use of resources to look for species that are most likely to be alive, find out where they are, and protect their habitats," she added. ❋ Ian Sample (2010)
Despite their wolf-like appearance, thylacines were probably unable to subdue prey as large as sheep. ❋ David Mizejewski (2011)
More than 25 large-scale searches have failed to find thylacines, the carnivorous, dog-like marsupials that have not been seen in Australia for nearly 80 years. ❋ Ian Sample (2010)
In reality, thylacines were large carnivorous marsupials that were once found over a wide range in Australia. ❋ David Mizejewski (2011)
"He led searches for evidence of thylacines, finding footprints, hairs and scats which were donated to the Tasmanian Museum and Art gallery and still form the basis of research." ❋ Unknown (2008)
Tasmania's leading authority on thylacines, Eric Guiler, has died. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Yikes, do I really find deer and voles more interesting than sloths, thylacines and echidnas? ❋ Darren Naish (2007)
Before Riversleigh's fossil record began to unfold, there was only one Tertiary species known, but different thylacines have been identified from Riversleigh's Oligo-Miocene faunas. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Pack-hunting dingos outcompeted the lone hunter thylacines by having better anatomical resistance to the mechanical stress of killing larger prey. ❋ Unknown (2007)
The scat was collected in Tasmania by Eric Guiler, a thylacine expert, who thought they possibly came from thylacines. ❋ Unknown (2007)
A researcher with the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA is testing animal scat from the 1950s and 1960s to determine whether any were left by thylacines. ❋ Unknown (2007)
If convergence is one of the most interesting evolutionary phenomena, then the Ground tit should become a text-book example of it, on par with thylacines vs wolves and ichthyosaurs vs dolphins. ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
Think thylacines, British big cats, Ivory-billed woodpeckers, Cone-billed tanagers, the resurrection of the aurochs, Night parrots, Richard Meinertzhagen and the Indian forest owlet. ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
There exists some heartbreaking black-and-white film footage of the only remaining known Tassie tiger in 1936, as the last of the thylacines paces its enclosure. ❋ Terri Irwin (2007)
