I had never heard of the Tasmanian Tigers - have you? They think they existed until the 1930's ..... but did they?
The Hunter - a movie
This movie stars William DaFoe and Sam Neil ... a great cast. They are after the Tasmanian tiger - which may or which may not exist. The jungles are thick ..... the greens are green .... the jungle is untouched by humans. How nice!
This tiger is a relative of the wolf and the last specimen died in 1936 in captivity. Oh my. It had striped fur and a dog-like face.
William DaFoe is determined to hunt one down .... one can see a dinasaur coming out of the jungle and charging down on him. Whew!
Does he get his prey? I won't ruin the movie .... Hope you enjoy!

Tasmanian tigers really did exist in Tasmania, Australia, Christine. Sounds like the movie could be a fascinating fictional take on the real thing, I must watch out for it.

Isn't it a shame they are no longer around. The movie does sound good.

Sad that these exotic animals were very likely hunted to extinction.

It existed. I've seen the rare video footage of this unfortunate animal.
