Our growing knowledge of thylacine pouch young development

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

Abstract

As the thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus) is extinct, we therefore know very little about its unique biology, including rate of growth and specific development and immune system. We can now only surmise, and presume, that growth and development and immune system function occurred in a similar manner to other marsupials. Further, the paucity of specimens now able to be examined adds to this difficult task of uncovering more about the species' immune system.
