In 1936... A Tasmanian tiger, also known as a thylacine, named Benjamin was living at the Beaumaris Zoo in Hobart, Australia. After being left exposed during a cold night... Benjamin died on September 7, 1936. At the time... Few realized that Benjamin was the last known Tasmanian tiger in captivity—and the last confirmed member of the species. Decades of hunting, habitat loss, and government bounties had pushed the animal to extinction. Today... The Tasmanian tiger has become one of the world's most famous symbols of extinction and a reminder of the importance of protecting endangered species.
