The Revival of the Tasmanian Tigers
<p>Nearly 100 years ago, the Tasmanian tiger, scientifically known as <em>Thylacinus Cynocephalus</em>, roamed the wild land of Tasmania, Australia. These large marsupials that could weigh up to 66 pounds were top predators in the Tasmanian ecosystem.</p>
<p>Although the Tasmanian tigers were some of the largest carnivorous marsupials in modern times, they were surprisingly timid and often succumbed to capture without a fight. They were unfortunately hunted to extinction in 1936, causing an imbalance in the Tasmanian ecosystem.</p>
