Is this a real photo?
Thats awsome:D
i think awsome except where is information?!?!?!?!?!?!
i agree with allison is it realy a real picture????
Dear Alison and Kyrah: Yes, it is a real picture and this was a real animal. No, it is not fake or “shopped”. A search in an Encyclopedia (the paper kind) or on the Internet if you prefer for “Tasmanian Tiger” will show this now extinct animal.
In this age of Photoshop, people are becoming (perhaps rightly) skeptical of unfamiliar images. Some readers similarly wondered if the giant sea turtle in this URL was a real animal (yes, it is real): http://ecolocalizer.com/2009/05/01/giant-sea-turtle-gives-world-1st-complete-set-of-migration-data/
Also, Kyrah, this photo is from the following article:
11 Extinct Animals That Have Been Photographed Alive

Thanks for reading with us.
was this photograph taken after the tiger was extinct?
@artie: The animals in the photograph are alive. I presume you are wondering if they were stuffed and mounted since they clearly look live. The answer is no, it’s just an old photograph fom before their extinction.
all animals will become extinct at some point or another its just we need to stop helping the prosses along faster than it should be going.
how long has the tasmanian tiger been around and do they actually eat meat.
I am absolutly fascinated with this animal! As well as the Quagga in the article! I think that Bryan Nelson did an excellent job in finding these pictures and writing the article! Thanks so much for having articles like tis out there!
