Tasmanian Tiger, Back from the Dead?

You all know, that since 1936, the last surviving Tasmanian Tiger died in captivity . Then, the government classified them as an extinct species. Although they say that, there have been many unconfirmed sightings in various remote areas in both Tasmania and Australia. From my perspective, I think this hunt for an extinct species is like finding Bigfoot. I believe that the species does still survive, just they have learned to fear us and learned how to keep a low profile, like a Crocodile. And now, park rangers have set up cameras and video cameras in remote areas where the sightings have been said found to find this elusive extinct species. The sightings have gone viral on the media, and animal and extinct species experts don't know what to think of this legendary creatures. Tasmanian Tigers were unique in many ways: their endurance to run down kangaroo to exhaustion, unique stripe patterns, the largest marsupial to live along-side humans, and the jaw gape that can open up almost 90 degrees. Most people don't know what it means, but I think it's a warning to back away. There have been no known Tasmanian Tiger attacks on humans, but they did kill sheep. When the hunters saw them, they killed the Tigers, and hung their coats on barbed wire fences as trophies to passerby's. The last Tiger that died was stuffed and put in a museum for all to see. Now with these sightings are making people become curious. They wonder if the species is indeed making a comeback. If it's true this would be the greatest comeback in the whole animal kingdom. We just have to hope that these sightings are indeed true.
