The Tasmanian tiger, the world's largest marsupial predator, was deliberately hunted to extinction through fear, ignorance, and greed. Told here is the complete story of the tiger: how it evolved, lived, and was wiped out. It is based on 19th and 20th century records and includes descriptions from people claiming to have seen it recently.
