THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THYLACINUS CYNOCEPHALUS:
- THYLACINE HISTORY -

.
Part one of the Thylacine History subsection, "1805 to 1936", opens with the earliest written account of the species.  The disastrous results of the thylacine's encounter with Tasmania's European settlers is then discussed, leading up to the death of the last known captive at the Hobart Zoo on 7 September 1936.

"1936 to Present" focuses on some of the searches that have been undertaken to locate the thylacine after 1936, including the work of David Fleay, Eric Guiler and the Griffith-Malley-Brown team.
