So often on shows like this we talk about a cryptid that might not even have ever BEEN. Their mere existence; conjecture \u2013 their birth; legend. BUT, this case is a bit different. The Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger was a real, honest-to-goodness, Linnaean classified animal! No conjecture here. There are stuffed versions of these bad boys in museums across the world! But, what happened to them? Did this missing marsupial truly go extinct, or did they recede into the shadows to become the subject of folktale and lore fueled by real sightings? We grab our boxing gloves and go on a walkabout in search of Tassie this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot decides he\u2019s going to get professorial (he fails), Alexa is getting jealous of Kyle (we don\u2019t know why either), and the fellas debate the virtues of Wombats vs Tasmanian Devils (it\u2019s a big day for marsupials). All of that and more on the podcast that has never successfully driven a species to extinction, but it won\u2019t keep our robot from trying \u2013 Hysteria 51.
