Description:

The thylacine is also called a Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf. It is/was a carnivorous marsupial last seen in Tasmania and hunted to extinction. Some people hold out hope that a few may still wander the wilderness.

For this swap, let's honor this lost species in our art. Create one handmade postcard for your partner. I'm usually a naked kind of girl, but if you prefer to send in an envelope, I get it.

You can find a ton of images online or at wikipedia. Let me know if you have trouble ...

Happy holidays everyone and if you have a spare moment to make art, DO IT!

Also, there's a really good movie staring Willem Dafoe set in Tasmania (beautiful) that involves the thylacine - it's called "The Hunter." I recently saw that it is streaming on Netflix these days ... worth watching.

Ciao friends.

I've seen that flick, "The Hunter," and I agree that it's really good. Powerful country, powerful story.

There's a site that lists "sitings" information. It's interesting that most of the sitings describe a kind of slow moving, almost shy animal. Easy targets. Also, studies show that their jaws weren't strong enough to kill large animals like sheep so the hunters' claims that thylacines were killing their herds most likely wasn't true.
