South Chinese tiger can possibly make a comeback
Owing to recent discovery of multiple tigers in zoos that were in fact South Chinese tiger specimens, there is enough genetic diversity for the species to make a comeback TTTime05 (talk) 16:07, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Is functional extinction a well defined term?
Just recently, there was an article in forbes saying that Koala's are functionally extinct, so I was reading the article on functionally extinct, and came across this Scientific American reference in this article. It got me wondering. Is this even a well defined term? There seems to be several diffferent interpretations of the phrase which leads to confusion. Should we be highlighting that more in the article, or is there a formal definition of the term in the relevant field? Mozzie (talk) 00:30, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
