Then confined to Tasmania for thousands of years, it was deliberately hunted down by settlers through fear, ignorance and greed. But was it a savage sheep killer or a shy and fussy nocturnal feeder? Did the last tiger die in a Hobart zoo in 1936, or did a few survive in the wild? And did it really drink its victims' blood? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A number of Australian species have miraculously reappeared after being labelled as extinct. Perhaps the tiger is still with us.
