I did a huge research paper on these guys in college. Got to be an amatuer expert (is that possible?) Anywho, there are still sitings of thylacines in Australia and New Zealand. There is a chance the species is still around, just severely depleted. I live in hope, as I fell in love with the critters doing all that research.
That is too funny! "Dead Sexy," I'm rolling. Seriously, a person in the profession, you'd be surprised how good of a sense of humor we morticians and funeral directors have.
Viva les Thylacines!
