AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This book is not another of the many fictional stories about the Tasmanian Tiger. It is designed to give a brief and easily accessible account of this large carnivorous marsupial.

'The account is a grim warning; a call for vigilance in preserving the habitat and observing the status of all our fauna, especially the increasing number of endangered species - see the prophetic statement on page 23.' (Publication summary)
