Joan Dixon did a decent overview for the Fauna of Australia series back in 1991. Its only 9 pages but covers a fair amount.

Dr. Eric Guiler put out 2 books with an amazing amount of information, but they have been long out of print and are quite pricey. However, you can sometimes find David Owen's book on them for cheap on Amazon. Not as good, but comes in a close behind Guiler's work

It just doesn't seem the same when you look at all the nature shows with the Tasmanian devils and other, but it is sad only so few people seem to care about these amazing creatures, besides the dingo they were the other large predator.
True. But, I think its more they do not know about animals like the thylacine that have gone extinct recently. There is an emphasis on animals that are endangered now, but even as near back as the 1930s, there were few people who had a concept that losing large predators were a bad thing for the ecosystem.
and where did you get that plushie?
Though, if might be cheaper to snag one from www.buildadino.com . They have both a small and a large; however I do not have either one so Im not sure of their overall quality.
As far as females, there is one in a museum at Glasgow (not sure which one, I took a picture of it when it was in Edinburgh) and another at the Harvard Natural History Museum in Boston.
