Thank you very much for your comments. As for the question about the Thylacine–When I said the only extinct mammalian carnivore that was displayed in captivity, I was referring to the only member of taxonomic group Carnivora, and not meat-eating mammals in general (as the Thylacine was a carnivorous marsupial). I’m sorry if there was any confusion, this will be more clear in future editions of the book.
Thanks again!
-Charles Epting

Other than the Tasmanian Tiger? This seems like a pretty big miss for what is otherwise presumably a well-researched book. Not a reason to pass it over, but a surprising over-reaching statement nonetheless.
