De-extinction of Tasmanian Tiger

[Brother-Mike]

I saw one in Los Angeles when I was looking for a mountain lion in Griffith Park.

It was littler and cuter than I expected:

Hearing a pack get into a group yip and howl is nice too - we hear them sometimes at night

Their howling is very strange and scary if you don't
know what it is.

I never got a chance to hear them.

Foxes as well, though perhaps even more unsettling. It’s not a howl but more of a creepy crying.

Here's the sound "my" gecko makes. ( Lives on my patio)

Very nice.
Here is a sound made by a person who finds a Tasmanian Devil in her bed.

Given the press about the de-extinction of the thylacine, reports have emerged of a thylacine being spotted on the Australian mainland.

It doesn't anything like a thylacine.

Both the thylacine and Tasmanian devil became extinct from the Australian mainland around 3000 years ago although the theory their demise was due to a more effective predator the dingo which was introduced during the final wave of mass migration from South East Asia 4000 years ago is under dispute.
Marsupial extinctions: don't blame the dingoes

The Tasmanian devil is now an endangered species and has been reintroduced to the mainland after a 3000 year absence in the hope of conserving the species.
The long term objective is to reestablish the devils in the wild.
There are now Australian devils in existence.
Birth of Tassie devils could be first step to having them back on mainland after 3,000 years
