Paddle, Robert.
$40.00

Complete and up-to-date examination of the history and extinction of one of Australia’s most enduring folkloric beasts. It challenges conventional theories explaining the behaviour and eventual extinction of the thylacine, arguing that political farming interests, negligent captive breeding programs, and a deeper intellectual prejudice about the inferiority of marsupials finally resulted in the Thylacine’s extinction.
