You jest, but unlike dinosaurs, the thylacine's habitat and ecological niche still exist today. They went extinct recently enough that we have videos of the last ones.

Well, that's a sad revelation. Thanks for letting me know that. Now I'm really rooting for them, more so than before. Seriously. No sarcasm at all.
