Extinct animals: Tasmanian tiger
“The Thylacine [Tasmanian Tiger] is a strong candidate for cloning and other molecular science projects due to its recent demise and the existence of several well preserved specimens.”
Philippe Pasqua recently completed an installation of a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton that now stands watch over the Seine river in Paris. the structure is made from 350 chrome molded bones and measures a full 21’ x 12’.

I’m watching a Documentary on Tasmanian Tigers so I felt the need to sketch one of these out- I think Thylacines are gorgeous animals, and it’s a tragedy they’re extinct. Or rather, considered so.
However, I do believe there is a small population still alive in Tasmania somewhere. I like to think I might be able to see one in person someday.
But probably not.
