A carnivorous creature with the jaws of a wolf, meeting a Tasmanian tiger in the jungle was like meeting a kind of flesh-eating kangaroo. Sixty years ago, the last-known animal died in captivity after the wild population had been hunted out by European settlers. However, since its supposed extinction, over 300 sightings have been recorded... Many experts and locals in Tasmania remain convinced that the animal does still exist, a survivor of the European colonisation of this unique habitat. The film accompanies a zoologist deep into the Tasmanian forests, and interviews experienced tiger hunters and conservationists in the search for the big one, the Tasmanian tiger.
