The tragic tale of the Tasmanian Tiger
The tragic story of how ignorance, fear and lack of caring led to the extinction of the Tasmanian Tiger. So treasured is it now, the Tasmanian Tiger has become the official logo of the island that wiped it out and a symbol of the conservation movement world-wide.
