X3!!

Thylacine!

Ain't it great to draw stuff FOR FUN?

I draw stuff for homeless children :)

Mary selfish :(

then you EAT THEM! CHILD EATER! >:O

I rarely do anymore...

Is it anti-feasox?

Thylacines <3

THat's what's gonna happen to feasoxes too if you're not nice to them... :(

I FEEL LIKE FEASOX TONIGHT

LIKE FEASOX TONIGHT

omg, cool.. that was unexpected :p
and you drew him in an awesome way!! most artists make thylacines just look like wolfes, but he looks really thylacin-ish

Also his expression is great =)

That's 'cause most artists draw 50% wolves. (then, it's 49% foxes, and 1% other)

Awww! Thylacine!

Very wonderful job, Mary. You should take some more time for your self :3

EEP.
I am so gonna get eaten.

That's a Tasmanian Tiger, right? VERY cool.

Gawd ... I love when people draw a thylacine that really looks like a marsupial, not like a canid.

Thank you, it was my first try. :)

What would a thylacine be laughing at, do you suppose? Perhaps he is laughing at extinction?

I kinda' thought he was laughing for being tricky and eluding extinction. I still have hope there are a handful out there.

Steve Erwin had high hopes, too. My hope is that the species will be brought back through the thlacine cloning project if none are ever to be found. Given enough time and technology, it will one day be possible.

What will probably happen is, instead of swapping out cell nucleoli like when they cloned dolly the sheep, the project will probably wind up having to map the entire genomes of every specimen they have and use that data to reconstruct each chromosome one at a time from the ground up. I do know that synthetic chromosomes are a current technology being pursued, but I would imagine that it's a long way off like most the other great "miracles" of bio-engenering. Reconstructing even a small amount of DNA takes a very long time compared to the speed at which nature does it.

Oh, but it will happen one day. It's only a matter of time and money.

As a side note to show the progress of gene maping technology, you should find out more about the Sorcerer 2 Expedition. Scientists on the Sorcerer 2 ship collect water samples from the ocean every 200 miles going around the world and send them back to the lab where captured microorganisms from the ocean are gene sequenced all at once!

*laughs* You can already hear him! XD

Thylacines rock. :D
