A few years ago I downloaded the videos of the last Thylacine, filmed at the Hobart Zoo in 1933. It was one of the most moving images I've ever seen. It felt so unreal watching this strange looking Marsupial, it was almost as if I was watching clips from some Hollywood fantasy.I say that it felt unreal, but that feeling was quickly replaced with immense sadness, and also a great deal of anger. Sadness because we'll never see a live Thylacine again, and anger because Man wiped it out. We even killed the last one through neglect.I wonder how people will feel 70 odd years from now watching video of the last Panda.</blockquote>
