Last known thylacine or Tasmanian tiger died in captivity in an Australian zoo in 1936. New study suggests the animal possibly survived up until a few decades ago.
Not to be confused with the prestigious Nobel Prize, the Ig Nobel is a satirical or parody prize awarded for unusual 'achievement'. The name plays on the word 'ignoble'.
Twenty-seven genes have got a new name over the past year to tackle a longstanding problem researchers faced while keying data into Excel, a powerful research tool.
The Modi govt’s ambitious National Education Policy completely overhauls India’s education system, but one major decision is to eliminate ‘rigid’ separation of streams.
In May, two papers were published on the safety of certain drugs for COVID-19 patients by the New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet. Both were retracted.
Sudarsanam Babu, who currently works at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been appointed as NSB member for 6-year term, White House says in statement.

Discussion about outcome of Lok Sabha polls continues to boil in cauldron of expectations only from BJP. Now reverse this equation, what if we asked about the performance of the 'loser'?
The best way to resurrect the Thylacine may seem counter intuitive, but is the only hope.: promote a hunt with a very ample reward. This way, you would have more dedicated searchers than ever before. With the science of cloning what it is, there would be little difficulty using samples from fresh carcasses implanted in Tasmanian devils.
Some might be negative about the thought of killing a newly found Thylacine, but the only issue is whether we want to reestablish the species.
Just the fact Joey that you said such harsh words about people from other places make you an idiot. There is bad people every where. And yes I feel like like all the cruelty that someone does to these poor animals should be given to them so they can feel the same fate if not worse fate. Animals act on instinks and hunger. Humans act on greed and imusement . trophies to be collected.
It so sad that we have so many Money and property seeking people. We are here to protect the animals. we are all part of one eco system and need to respect all living things. Just look at the world ,we are in now its going to s… !!!
Its time to make a difference, don’t think because your one person you can’t because you can. The small thing’s like planting a tree or vegetation. Its not hard just to take care of the Planet you are living on.
That Tasmanian western wilderness world heritage area is 1.2 million square kilometres of incredibly remote and difficult terrain with virtually no people. I think there is always possibility it still lives on.
I agree with Kelly about Joey. Being a Tassie born and bred I cry about the loss of all creatures which is why I am one of many who give their time to help sick and or injured creatures in hope to rerelease them.
I’m so very sorry we humans cause so much damage to this awesome planet…..but in reality this old, old world is changing as it’s supposed to. I’m sorry we contribute to the loss of some life with our stupidity and greed, but this world is going to do what it’s meant to do whether we help or not….it’s reality and what we have done is insignificant to what’s going to happen eventually to this planet we call our home. In other words what will be will be no matter if we help or not….
Our government will let people kill and kill till nothing’s left. As long as they get a big payday from the extinctions, they turn away and grab with closed eyes.
It is true humans are a bunch of douchebags, that only care about cash. The government will allow anything if they get their cut . And that my friend is the end of story. Nothing matters but. CASH !!!! Our govt. Blows . From the top down. Sad but true
Humanity has so much more to learn from all animals. For one we all need to coexist with nature and not get upset when wild animals come on to our so called property. Most wildlife are adapting and changing right before our eyes and mainly to survive.
I have seen this animal beleive it or not. It was in Groveland Florida near the Green Swamp forest. I lived off a road next to the forest and swamp area and I was coming home from work about 11pm. It crossed in front of my car headed toward the swamp. I had never seen anything like it. I looked it up and realized it was suppose to be extinct. So this tells me it is not extinct.
One a higher predator will pray on us and then we will feel what all animals have felt like. Until then we will be feeling bad about what we to the animal kingdom.
How did you completely skip one of the big drivers to their extinction- disease?! We have known for a long time now that disease contributed greatly to their extinction. Did you not do any research? It really makes me doubt the quality of your journalism that it wasn’t even mentioned.
Hate to break your heart but America is no damn better all kinds of Critters in this country about to be extinct this is this land called the land of the stupid we got a beautiful country that’s going to hell in a handbasket because our leaders don’t give a s*** about nothing but pocketing money so whatever
Human are Really terrible how can Humans cause such a Damage to God Creation .I Hate this word Extint. Mean for Ever .makes me so Sad Nothing Ever done to Stop it.
Some humans are terrible, but ALL Tasmanians are particularly awful. Really, really terrible people. Even Australians (natural-born criminals, the entire lot) don’t want to be around them, so they exiled all of them to a dusty rock in Australia’s crotch.
If you ever see a Tasmanian, call the authorities immediately.
You’re a complete and total moron.
Ever seen the bounty hangings of cats and dogs they’ve poisoned and shot on their farm gates? And yes these are domesticated animals that are killed as well as anything wild.
You try to tell a landowner that they shouldn’t shoot at any and all things that look like dogs and cats and foxes and yes, the Tasmanian tiger, they will probably threaten to shoot you for “violating” their “rights”. Disgusting behaviour of people that have historically stolen land territory from the aboriginal populace in the first place.
Don’t talk nonsense, Tassies are usually lovely people, The great Bill Mollison was a Tasmanian.

It’s sad, and the dodo bird were tortured and killed off and the reason they were friendly and enjoyed being around people
What is this striped dog in India called? Even a local name you know will help me look it up.

Humans are this entire Worlds WORST ENEMY!!!
Wowwwwwww so many people with nothing better to do?

Spoken like someone truly determined to disconnect from their responsibilities.
It’ll happen anyway, why bother putting off the inevitable, right?
Or,
Work is hard and I’ll die one day anyway, might at well shoot myself.
Same logic, different scale.
I hope they’re still out there and never found.
To Joey
You are kidding right? Wth, you can not truly believe such a ridiculous thing

Humans are or we are parasites of this planet; looking for hell? Animals live in it, hre and now….sad!

You said it Kell. Joey is a total waste of skin.
It’s people like him that should be put down for the sake of humanity. Grizz,Ab.Canada.

What a shame!! One day a higher and better species will take care of us as well.

Disease definitely was mentioned, it makes me doubt the quality of your reading.
The article does mention disease as a possible reason for their decline.
It says disease a few times….
Yes it was. Reread the article.
Don’t be ignorant
This story is so damn sad it made me cry. Just look at the poor thing screaming behind bars in a zoo. Yes humans are Caesar humans are terrible.
If they are alive…. Martin and Chris Kratt are going to go insane.
They did a Wild Kratts episode on Tazzy Tigers.
Omg! they are going to be the happiest brothers on the planet. ?
Once an adolescent always an Idiot.
I get so sad every time I read about any animal extinct caused by humans. It’s so terrible.
Hate to break your heart but America is no damn better all kinds of Critters in this country about to be extinct this is this land called the land of the stupid we got a beautiful country that’s going to hell in a handbasket because our leaders don’t give a s*** about nothing but pocketing money so whatever
Amen
In india there is a dog with strips….people worship him….I was wondering …whether he is same specices
They’re still around. No question!
