I am still avidly reading the latest ‘Creation’ Magazine. (Readers may remember my story about the Albatross recently.)

Today, I have been studying David Catchpoole’s fascinating article about the Tasmanian Tiger, a marsupial carnivore Thylacinus cynocephalus which means ‘pouched one with a dog’s head’. This creature was a type of Marsupial dog, (see picture above) which scientists think went extinct in 1936, when the last one to be observed, died in captivity in Tasmania. Its demise was attributed to the activities of sheep farmers who incorrectly blamed it for dog-kills of sheep.

The creature’s extinction does pose some tricky questions for evolutionists who believe that the marsupial thylacine had four million years to adapt to the Australian environment, yet somehow the inferior hunter, the placental dingo, managed to out-compete it in less than 3,000 years.

For the full article, and many others, why not splash out $32 for an annual subscription to this wonderful quarterly full-colour Australian magazine? (It contains no annoying advertisements.) Just go to: www.creation.com   and join me in educating yourself and your family, plus helping to support an excellent Australian enterprise.

Gibber! Gibber!
