I have just been reading over on BoingBoing about the video over on 1 + 1 = 3, of the last known Thylacine.
The Thylacine a marsupial, not a Tiger could open its jaw up to 120 degrees. The 1933 video shows the last Thylacine, which died due to exposure from being left out over night in the Hobart Zoo two years before it's death.
According to the Australian Museum on line there is one Thylacine preserved in alcohol, which could one day be cloned when the technology is ready.
Who knows maybe one day they can bring this creature back?

"The Australian Museum has a small Thylacine pup preserved in alcohol in 1866. Its cells could be used for cloning. By chance this Thylacine was stored in a jar of alcohol rather than formalin, which would have destroyed the DNA."

I think they have scrapped the cloning project :-(
