SaltedFig I'm thrilled with the theme of your soap! Just tonight we were watching Wild Kratts and the Tasmanian Tiger - which I'd never heard of! It would be fantastic if they were "rediscovered". Are there any plans to investigate this possibility?
They are investigating, yes.
When it was first reported, they were citing sources (reliable folk) ... that reporting seems to have disappeared a bit (a good sign!) and a couple of days ago there was a news report that was about someone that had some hairs in a jar in their cupboard for all these years, and they've been given for DNA sampling.
So ... that news items didn't register much. Except now that I think about it ... there is less news about the sightings, and still more (general) news about the location and news about DNA from hairs.
It's the same pattern they followed when the Wollomi Pine was found in that gully (small canyon) a while back. Then they reported that a ranger had found it and roughly where it was ... and then the info mostly disappeared (with lots of whispers!) until the first "babies" were made available, with certificates of authenticity as being the first created from the only ones left in the worlds.
The "What if ... ?" is getting stronger :mrgreen: ... fingers crossed.
On soaps, my "Tassie Tiger" striped soap is starting to brown on the browns, so the change in stripe size from one end to the other is getting a bit more obvious ... getting there (1 and a half days out of the mould now, still not cleaned up).
I got the colour from museum pelt photo's, but this last photo was my main inspiration:
