Rosie never liked Elias Churchill, and she liked him even less when he trapped the last tiger-wolf ever to be seen.
Thylacine was the proper name for a tiger-wolf, according to the lady at the Hobart zoo. She said that this one might be the last in existence. It was Rosie's thylacine! The very one she saw that day on the train. But on September 7, 1936, it died.
Was Rosie that last person to see the thylacine alive and free in the wild? Could she have done anything to save it being captured, saving all thylacines from extinction?
