The Tasmanian Tiger may yet be alive!

I hope that they still exist!

ULTRAZERO80 - Indeed! It would be so very neat! :)

G:KOTM - I agree wholeheartedly, my friend! Can you imagine how neat it would be to get to meet one? :)

(Please ignore this duplicate post)

I think their trying to clone them.

ULTRAZERO80 - It is a very strong possibility, my friend. :)

G:KOTM - I agree. Genetic engineering frightens me a great deal.

I know they have a preserved pup that they've been using to try and clone it.

I prefer calling them the Tasmanian Wolf since they look more wolf-like.

XENOTARIS - There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, my friend. :)

This news is all the rage in Australia right now! Front page of everything :) 

Dragon King Ultrazero80 from memory they have preserved semen from one of the last captive males. They hope to crossbreed it back into existence with Dingo's (related canine species endemic to Australia) when the technology is more certain. They will only have one chance at it.

I hope they catch one and clone it.

IRAPTUS - It is so very neat! I hope they manage to preserve a breeding population of the animals themselves! :)

We should just leave them alone and let them repopulate in the wild!

I'd say it's possible they're still out there. We've rediscovered species thought to be extinct in the past.

Agree with Theri.
