Extinct - Tasmanian Tiger (Paperback)

A tie-in book for children to accompany Extinct, a dramatic new series from Wall to Wall, the producers of 1940s House. Fact: 99.9 percent of all species that have ever existed on earth are now extinct. In Extinct, six of them are brought stunningly back to life using the very latest 3D computer graphics technology combined with years of scientific knowledge.

In Extinct: The Tasmanian Tiger, young readers can follow the life-cycle of the Tasmanian tiger, a strange marsupial animal with the head of a wolf, the stripes of a tiger and the body of a dog.
