There exists a single video / movie of a Tasmanian Wolf running around in a Zoo. This is very old and I've actually seen it in an Museum. Imho it was the last one of its species in that zoo.
it is (at least, excerpts of it). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> BTW, look at that mouth!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Poor Hilleke; beware, she might sneak in your computer while you sleep and tomorrow she'd make you pay for that betrayal... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Lol most deep sea creatures are as ugly (often more).
Meet the
Gulper Eel Viperfish deep sea Anglerfish Some anglerfish have a unique mating method. Without light, finding a mate is a problem, especially at a time when both individuals are ready to spawn. When scientists first started capturing ceratioid anglerfishes, they noticed that all of the specimens were females. These individuals were a few inches in size and almost all of them had what appeared to be parasites attached to them. It turns out that these "parasites" were the males. When a male anglerfish is hatched, he has extremely well developed olfactory organs that detect scents in the water. He has no digestive system. His goal in life is to detect the pheromones that the female anglerfishes release. When he finds a female, he bites into her flank which releases an enzyme that digests the skin of his mouth and her body. The two then fuse together, including blood vessels. The male degenerates into nothing more than a pair of gonads that releases sperm when the female releases hormones into the bloodstream that signals she is ready to release her eggs. This is an extreme example of sexual dimorphism. If the male anglerfish doesn't find a female, he dies.
These three fishes are bioluminescent; they produce light via a symbiosis with bacteria to lure their preys.
