Preservation of the Tasmanian Tiger…”
Consequent upon the information reported in our last Proceedings, another search was made in the wilds of Tasmania for evidence of the existence of this almost extinct Marsupial.
Thanks have been transmitted to the Tasmanian Board for its generosity in allowing M:. M. S. R. Sharland the opportunity of first hand knowledge of the position. Apparently
The expedition was fitted out by the Tasmanian Animals and Birds’ Protection Board, and as a guest, Mr. M S. R. Sharland accompanied it. A full account will be published in the Proceedings, from which it will be seen that new footprints were observed more than once indicating that more than one individual still survives in the locality searched.
Mr. Sharland upheld the traditions of the Society as the Tasmanian Board has renewed its invitation to their next research expedition.
It is a matter of regret that no animals were seen but this is mainly due to the nocturnal habits of the marsupial.”
This Information was printed in the Proceeding of the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales for the year 1938
The mention of footprints makes me hold out hope…
