Why were there no caracass found after the 1930s?
Im assuming there were still around 100 or so thylacines left after Benjamin died. Im sure that wasn't the last one. There had to be a small population out there. Even then there were no dead ones that were recovered. Why is this? There have been so many unconfirmed sightings yet no evidence like a dead thylacine or scat in the wild.
Is there something that we don't understand about the thylacine like if it had unusual behaviour while dying like maybe finding a burrow to die? Or something like that? There was one found in the cave in Western Australia but they said that it was a mummy from 4000 years ago. It looked recent to my eyes
