How to use thylacine in a sentence?

1. Nick Mooney:

   I am happy to suggest that based on this limited analysis of the film, there is perhaps a one in three chance the image is of a thylacine.

2. Andrew Pask:

   The technologies we are developing to de-extinct the thylacine all have immediate conservation benefits -- right now -- to protect marsupial species. Biobanks of frozen tissue from living marsupial populations have been collected to protect against extinction from fires, however, we still lack the technology to take that tissue -- create marsupial stem cells -- and then turn those cells into a living animal. That is the technology we will develop as a part of this project.

3. Nick Mooney:

   Assuming the footage is authentic, the animal is either a very large spotted-tailed quoll or a small thylacine, i am happy to suggest that based on this limited analysis of the film, there is perhaps a one in three chance the image is of a thylacine.

   To me the real benefit of any de-extinction project such as this is the awesomeness of it. Doing it seems very justified to me simply because it will excite people about science, nature, conservation, and we sure as hell need that in the wonderful citizens of our world if we are to survive into the future. But... do the stakeholders realize what they will get will not be the thylacine but some imperfect hybrid ? What we don't need is yet more people disappointed( or) feeling cheated by science.
