Thylacine

negative. This is true of the two picture books Way Home by Margaret Wild and Ron Brooks and The Dream of a Thylacine by Libby Hathorn and Gregory Rogers. The two openings chosen reflect positive and negative experiences of place. Opening four of The Dream of the Thylacine depicts a positive experience. In this opening a positive environment is shown by bright colours and the Thylacines body language. One technique used is the bright colour palette this creates a happy and free feeling. There…

Cloning the Tasmanian Tiger Part A The Tasmanian tiger or the Thylacine was a carnivorous marsupial that became extinct in 1933. According to the Australian Museum, the modern Thylacine made its appearance about 4 million years ago on the Australian mainland. However, it became extinct 2200 years ago on the mainland, possibly due to the competition with the dingo. (Evans.2015). The tiger’s main decline in Tasmania was largely due to the impact that humans had. The biggest cause of extinction…

The thylacine is put into this particular family because of its stripes and pouch. It is though that the closest animals that it is related to is the numbat (figure 2) and the Tasmanian devil (figure 3) they all fall under the Order of Dasyuromorphia but then fall into different family’s but they seem to be the closest living thing to it that they have discovered so far. The Numbat looks very similar to the Thylacine but is much smaller. They have stripes down…

The Australian government and other organizations should have done something sooner rather than later. Even though scientists have been working on cloning, we would most probably never see the thylacine again. Improved by Intervention- The African Elephant General Information The African Elephant, also known by its scientific name Loxodonta africana, is the world’s largest terrestrial animal. The species has been ranked vulnerable by the IUCN red…

The Tasmanian Tiger is also known as Tasmanian Wolf or simply Thylacine. The last one died at Hobart Zoo in 1936 and the species was officially declared as extinct in 1986. Tassie Tigers were secretive and nonterritorial creatures that avoided human contact, hunted at night and lead a typical feline lifestyle. With the arrival of Europeans in Tasmania started their long and painful journey to extinction. In 1888, the government introduced 1£ price for its head, leaving them at the mercy of…

Do you think a plant, animal, or even a human can be cloned? If so, would you be a support or oppose it? Genetic Cloning has many titles; from human cloning, Reproductive cloning, Therapeutic cloning or even Research cloning. They all mean the same thing, which is the process in which a gene of interest is located and copied out of DNA extracted from an organism. Genetic Cloning has been going on for years, ever since 1981. But, that was just plants and animals. Now today, the scientists and…

After doing research on the idea of de-extinction, I believe that de-extinction comes with a few benefits and many costs to the ecosystem. To be able to understand de-extinction, I think a person must understand the life cycle of every species on the planet and the current environments around the world. One way de-extinction could benefit the world would be by replenishing and filling in the holes in the food chain. If extinct animals helped regulate the existing habitats, that could possibly…

Did you ever consider animals as your hero? Without any recognition, animals have given us longer and healthier lives than ever before. Biomedical research refers to research that “is conducted to increase fundamental knowledge and understanding of the physical, chemical and functional mechanisms of human life processes and diseases.”(1) Nearly every medicine, medical device, surgical procedure and therapy we have today has depended on animal testing and biomedical research. Although there are…

SOURCE ANALYSIS: Source Type: Citation: Suitability: Credibility: Bias: Accuracy: Cloning is the process by which a genetically identical copy of an organism has naturally occurred or been created in a laboratory (Genetics Generation, 2015). The most significant cloning example was attained in 1996, where ‘Dolly the sheep’, the first mammal clone was created by somatic cell nuclear transfer by Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell (University of Utah, 2016). Since…
