"In Victoria, there are five reported sightings every day and only about ten percent of sightings are reported.  Extending this data, we conclude that in Victoria about 18,000 people see these animals each year."

 "Thylacoleo is a formidable predator whose size equates to that of a lion or tiger.  He has sabre teeth and lance-like claws it is fortunate that none has become a man-eater."
Whether you believe or not this book has a compelling argument.
