The Thylacine: The Halusian Tiger
The Thylacine also known as the Tasmanian Tiger was a marsupial that's now constantly debated on its extinction, here's why.

The Thylacine went extinct in the 1930's but even since the sightings in Australia have been reported constantly. There are plenty of people who have claimed to have seen it, along with there are people who believe these sightings. My stance is that the animal is extinct considering most evidence or findings of it still being alive are usually badly taken pictures and when it comes to videos; the video quality is usually conveniently terrible. Even after people search in the area, they'll either find nothing or find it to be a different culprit such as a cat or a dog confused with a Thylacine. In the 2000's, technology

    The arrival of human populations on Australia led to the extinction of large mammal populations. There are many possible predictions about what may have happened to the animals on that continent. One theory is that they were killed off by the first humans who arrived in Australia. In the text it claims, “Just as modern humans walked up to unafraid dodos and island seals and killed them, prehistoric humans presumably walked up to the unafraid moas and giant lemurs and killed them too” (Diamond 42). Around this time period, the initial poor hunting skills of humans were slowly improving as well as the weapons they were using. When discovering the new land and the things on it, the humans there were alarmed.…

These lions should not be raised in cages they need to be free so they can thrive and grow and play with other lions and be able to hunt. Then in the text “wild home” by Rebecca Kai Dotlich It says: “grazing in star grass, listening to sunbirds and weavers, joining fellow roamers day and night.” Then it says “They belong under the white moon, free and untethered and wild like savanna skies.” Then in the text “The wild life of Christian the lion” By Tod Olson. It says “By April, the fluff ball had grow into 130 pounds of sheer muscle. He was still gentle. But eventually, he would turn into a 500 pound predator with razor-sharp claws and 4-inch-long fangs.

    The tiger (Panthera tigris), a member of the Felidae family, is the largest of the four "big cats" in the genus Panthera.[4] The tiger is native to much of eastern and southern Asia, and is an apex predator and an obligate carnivore. The larger tiger subspecies are comparable in size to the biggest extinct felids,[5][6] reaching up to 3.3 metres (11 ft) in total length, weighing up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds), and having canines up to 4 inches (100 mm) long.[7] Aside from their great bulk and power, their most recognisable feature is a pattern of dark vertical stripes that overlays near-white to reddish-orange fur, with lighter underparts. The most numerous tiger subspecies is the Bengal tiger, while the largest is the Siberian tiger.…

    In their research, Hollings et al. (2016) split the diseased regions into three: Northeast Tasmania was designated as the early-diseased region since the DFTD outbreak occurred between 1996 and 1999, the central section of the island was determined as the midterm-disease region where the outbreak occurred between 2003 and 2007, and lastly the Northwest part of Tasmania chosen as the disease-free region where there are still high densities of devil population. Hollings et al. (2016) wanted to see how the composition and abundance of mammal communities vary with time since the outbreak of the DFTD as well as the decline of apex predators like the Tasmanian devils. To test this, they formulated four basic questions: (1) Is abundance or activity of alien invasive mammal species…

    About 41,000 years ago, a major part of the Australian environment became extinct, the Australian Megafauna (Australian Science, 2012). There have been many investigated causes for this, but the scientific community cannot decide on one for sure. This is due to lack of evidence for each theory. The most common current theories about the extinction are over hunting, climate change and disease.…

    In Hughes ‘View of a Pig’, ‘like a sack of wheat. I thumped it…’ Shows a solid, (shown with the sack of wheat) disrespect for The Pig who can no longer fight back. The ‘lifeless’ lump of meat, no longer an animal or something to be respected. Poundage of lard and pork.’ This again reinforcing that The Pig is no longer an animal, a living creature. He is now just food, part of the food chain and at the bottom of that chain. He is powerless.…

    Similar to carvings in wood, character is molded by indents- through pain and suffrage. This notion is evident in Aravind Adiga's novel, The White Tiger, in which Balram Halwaii seeks to create his own destiny. Having no role models within his family to help to guide him along his fated path, Balram quickly becomes determined to free himself of the corruptness embedded in India's system. In order to escape, however, he must be ambitious, risky, and even unethical. Balram must face and overcome the dark realities of his caste if he ever wants to taste freedom. Due to the circumstances of being raised without true parents, and living within a city of corruptness allow Balram's actions throughout the novel, though some unethical, to be justified.…
