What’s interesting is that within this franchise, the main company that owned Jurassic Park learned from some of its mistakes. Also known as the Tasmanian wolf, the marsupial wolf, or the thylacine, the Tasmanian tiger was an apex predator. Unfortunately for the Tasmanian tiger, they didn’t live in an age with trained wildlife veterinarians, airplane accommodations, regular tranquilizers, and quarantines. If pairs were shipped, one Tasmanian tiger would most likely perish, rendering the whole process futile. Jurassic Park.
