Thylacines in Cryptozoology

As a subject, 'cryptozoology' is rather ill-defined. Thus the inclusion or exclusion of any given reference here could arguably be debated. Therefore, in order to side-step this problem, I have tried to include only publications by persons who (seemingly) self-identify as 'cryptozoologists' and/or investigators of mystery animals.
