Thylacinus, the Tasmanian Tiger

from Paleo Bites

(image source: Public domain photo from 1906. Suck it, copyright laws) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Stephen Curro discuss Thylacinus, the most recently extinct creature I’ll allow, as anything later would make this show far too depressing. From the Early Holocene, this 4-foot marsupial first evolved in the later parts of the Ice Age before dying an unceremonious death in a zoo in the 1930s. Ugh, it’s episodes like this that make you root for the COVID-19 virus. Want to further support the show? Sign up to our Patreon for exclusive bonus content at Patreon.com/MatthewDonald.
