Our Story
This project is a labor of love between a grandfather and a grandson to rediscover and protect the Thylacine, better known as the Tasmanian Tiger, which was declared extinct in 1986.
The Thylacine Research Project (TRP) is the result of years of sharing a great interest in wildlife, during which I taught my grandson the art of the woods, water, and wildlife.
My grandson and I catch all manner of wildlife to study, sometimes keeping specimens in an aquarium or terrarium habitat for a short time before releasing. This includes various species of turtles, snakes, insects, and amphibians, and countless lizards such as anoles, agamas, curly tails, and small iguanas. However, I was never interested in trying to catch a large iguana by hand. Eventually, my grandson did something I had never attempted. This was the inciting event where the student surpassed the teacher. It convinced me that my grandson was almost ready to embark on the one adventure we had spoken about for years – finding and helping protect the habitat of Tassie, the Tasmanian Tiger.
