This is the personal website of David Reid and the Thylacine Links page is an extension to my seemingly never ending fascination with the Thylacine. The reference to the Thylacine Preservation Society is a bit of a tongue in cheek parody to societies overall disinterest in the survival of species. At present there are only a few links to establish this page. Now before me is the task of collating 23 years worth of my never ending fascination into some viable intelligent form and as such this website is a work in progress... | ||
The
Thylacine is one of the most fabled animals in the world. Yet, despite
its fame, it is one of the least understood of Tasmania's native
animals. European settlers were puzzled by it, feared it and killed it
when they could. After only a century of white settlement the animal had
been pushed to the brink of extinction. http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/wildlife/mammals/thylacin.html |

On
the 7th of September 1936 the last known Tasmanian Tiger (Thylacinus
cynocephalus) died in captivity at the Hobart Zoo, Tasmania. Sixty-two
years later in September of 1998 Murray McAllister, a physical education
teacher at Pembroke Secondary College in Melbourne Victoria, conducted
the first of 18 expeditions, searching for the Tasmanian Tiger. http://romeo.pembrokesc.vic.edu.au/home/tiger/welcome.htm |
