context_page_description: The Hobart Zoo was an old-fashioned zoological gardens located on the Queens Domain in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The Zoo site is very close to the site of the Tasmanian Governor's House, and the Botanical Gardens. Although its location is now primarily the site of a Hobart City Council depot, some remnants, and archaeological remains of the original Zoo can still be seen.
  The Zoo was set in the surrounds of sweeping gardens, and had commanding views across the River Derwent.
context_section_description: The Hobart Zoo is most famous for being the location where footage of the last known living Tasmanian tiger or thylacine, was taken in 1936. It died in captivity in Hobart Zoo on 7 September 1936. National Threatened Species Day has been held annually since 1996 on 7 September in Australia, to commemorate the death of the last officially recorded thylacine.
