DNA from tiny marsupials could help the Tasmanian tiger spring back to life.
The last known Tasmanian tiger, who was called Benjamin, froze to death in a Hobart zoo on September 7, 1936, after he was locked out of his sheltered sleeping quarters.
Now more than 85 years after his wretched demise Australian scientists believe that they will soon be able to bring his extinct species back to life, using DNA from its closest living relative.
