	Thlyacine - why did it become extinct?
		It is usually said that the Tiger became extinct as it was unable to compete with the Dingo which arrived from Asia between 3,000 and 10,000 years ago.
		Unfortunately, this is when the nomadic would also return and if they found the Tiger taking their prey, there is little doubt they would spear it as a competitor, or as a food source.
		The Tiger population was confined to Tasmania where there were no Dingoes, where the local nomadic humans did not use fire in hunting and where higher rainfall made it more difficult for humans to track and hunt Devils.

	Tasmanian Tigers, CARM
		On a long gone post (must have been over 3 hours old!), I was challenged to contact Kurt Wise about his opinion regarding the Davis and Kenyon's remarks in Of Pandas and People mentioning the high degree of similarity between the Tasmanian tiger and the wolf and the dog.
		There are marsupial/placental convergences in skunks, flying squirrels, tigers, and even saber-toothed tigers (as well as others).
		In point of fact, _superficial_ convergence such as that between the canids and the Tasmanian 'wolf' (which I think looks rather more like a fox) is entirely consistent with evolutionary theory.
