Moore" data-source="post: 1895710" data-attributes="member: 22662">I have read a book called "Carnivorous Nights" written by Margaret Mittelbach and Michael Crewdson about a trip that they conducted to Tasmania with artist  Alexis Rockman in 2003. Inspired by a stuffed and mounted specimen of the thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) in the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, they researched into whether the species still existed, despite having been declared extinct in 1986. The evidence that they found in 2003 looked very slight indeed. However, I was wondering if there have been more reports of sightings or other evidence of the species in Tasmania since their visit?Allen</blockquote>
