HOBART, Australia (AP) - A magazine has offered a $983,000 reward to anyone who can produce proof of the Tasmanian tiger — a dog-like, striped creature long believed to be extinct.
The bounty could help solve "one of Australia's most enduring mysteries," Garry Linnell, editor of The Bulletin said Tuesday.
The last known Tasmanian tiger — also known as Tasmanian wolf, or thylacine — died in captivity in 1936, after having been hunted to the verge of extinction by European settlers. Although it was once found across Australia, the animal's last stand was in the southern island state of Tasmania.
