The Tasmanian tiger always reminds me a little of the efforts to introduce Moose into New Zealand (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose#New_Zealand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose#New_Zealand).
"In 1900, an attempt to introduce moose into the Hokitika area failed; then in 1910 ten moose (four bulls and six cows) were introduced into Fiordland. This area is considered a less than suitable habitat, and subsequent low numbers of sightings and kills have led to some presumption of this population's failure. The last proven sighting of a moose in New Zealand was in 1952."
Fiordland is a wild and remote part of the country...
