Bristol Zoo Welcomes Their New Baby Ring-Tailed Lemur

Newborn ring-tailed lemur Rascal is given a hug by its father Rakota as it cuddles his mother Roxy back at Bristol Zoo Gardens on May 22, 2013 in Bristol, England.

The two-week old is one of a number of baby animals, birds and reptiles that have been born at Bristol Zoo Gardens now that spring has finally sprung.

Tashiro-jima (or Tashirojima), 田代島, is a small island in Japan. It has become known as “Cat Island” due to the large stray cat population that thrives as a result of the local belief that feeding cats will bring wealth and good fortune. The cat population is now larger than the human population on the island.

Thylacine as pet: remarkably tractable, docile, and affectionate - and, in some respects, superior to the dog. One of these reasons is that the thylacine acquiesces to others without protest - they do not engage in power struggles.

I don’t wanna get all bigfoot on you, but I think if you did some research you would agree that there is a small relic population alive today - but the species is still extinct.

Awwww bbs ;U; They sounded like such sweet little animals.

i think we’re getting close to cloning them back into existence

IIRC, the arabian oryx population was re-established from seven or so individuals. So if there is indeed a relic population, and the genetic diversity is decent, thylacines could probably be re-populated too! (cloning would also help, I think!)
