Riassunto

The last known Tasmanian tiger died in Hobart Zoo in 1936. This sleek, carnivorous marsupial hasn't been seen (alive) since, and is considered to have been hunted to extinction. Smitten by an ancient stuffed tiger in their local Natural History Museum, Brooklyn naturalists Margaret Mittelbach and Michael Crewdson and their friend, artist Alexis Rockman, embark upon a treasure hunt to try and find surviving tigers in the Tasmanian jungle. The trio journey through Tasmania, encountering devils, wombats, fervent tiger hunters, bushrangers and Jurassic Park scientists. Illustrated with Rockman's artwork, originally crafted from organic materials picked up on the journey, this hugely engaging book vividly brings the tiger back to life, and recounts the story of a charming and hilarious expedition.
