1. You forgot one

Moderate Republican

[sue4e3]

2. Funny my son would have considered himself a moderate republican,

recently he declared himself a democrat so he could vote for Bernie. He said it was a sad day that a normal , sane republican can't exist because the whole party has lost thier mind. I had always considered my son mildly over the top politically . When he did a 360 I knew the moderate republican was not functionally extinct they were all dead.

5. Perhaps it's a dormant species, not extirpated.

They're just hiding in their burrows until it's safe to emerge. I hope so. I used to know some progressive Republicans.

4. Thank You , I actually had a picture of a quagga my grandfather had( i don't know where,

it is or where he got it , it was old and I was young) and to think that they were completely gone was saddening.It's a hope

6. Thylacines

There are repeated reports (none confirmed by photography, AFAIK) of sightings of animals in the outback that certainly sound like thylacines .

7. I hope they keep on sighting them,

A carnivorous marsupial at that size . I always thought they looked so exotic and so much more deserving then what they got.
