Yes, that makes me doubtfull about these sightings. There's always enough image quality to support the possibility of whatever is shown being the mysterious creature, but not enough to confirm it.
Yeah, pretty interesting considering they shot crystal clear footage of it in the 1930s lol. I'm always skeptical when people present incredibly distorted video as evidence. A lot of experts seem to think there is a good chance the Thylacine is still alive though.
@@limpan3961 The problem is our species. On every continent the megafauna disappeared shortly after homo sapiens set foot on it for the first time. So yes, we suck :(
@@domenigo97 You and Salem are both wrong. We do cause many extinctions, but most of the time the issue is invasive species we bring. Most of Australia is uninhabited by man today, in the past there were far less people, no way we hunted thylacine to extinction in Australia that's ridiculous. The issue was ancient man brought canids. Dogs directly competed with thylacines, foxes directly competed with thylacine. Canids out competed the marsupials and there is a reason for this. This happened 3 million years ago [before humans] when saber toothed tigers out competed a saber toothed marsupial called thylacosmilus in south America, other carnivorans out competed almost all terror birds. The difference was continental drift brought in invasive species, we brought canids to Australia. Tasmania was a refuge because man did not bring canids to the island, there are no dingoes in Tasmania. They were endangered. As for your assertion that we killed of the great megafauna, the Quaternary extinction is a mystery we do not know the cause. We humans lived with woolly mammoths, woolly rhinos, snow hyenas cave lions etc for 400,000 years of our existence, older human species lived along side them for millions of years yet 12k years ago all of a sudden megafauna around the globe died, most humans died out as well. All the while African rhinos and elephants, which have been around us from the beginning, are still alive!
People killed them because they were protected their sheep. And before even human hunted them down dogs and foxes compete with them which the main factor Tasmanian tiger couldn't keep up By that time they were extinct or so we thought they extinct
Saw one in Barrington Tops NSW. We thought it was a quoll as we had no idea what it was or what a quoll looked like. I did some reasearch to discover other sightings in Barrington/Glouster area.

@@joaorebochooaw6321 yes thats what i thought as well. I obviously can't confirm it was a thylacine but you tell me what it was, a small panther looking animal with tiger stripes on the base of its back and start of tail
Yes. Of course, they would be a little fuzzy and out of focus. Like all Big Foot sightings and others. They have to leave something to the imagination..
Yes, it is amazing that when you stand next to a small enclosure with a movie camera using 8 mm film on a tripod you get a better image than when you stick a small hobby camera or cell phone out of a window during a spontaneous sighting.
I would love for them to be still around but logically there is no possibility that they are I think what people are seeing are foxes and dingos suffering from Sarcoptic Mange.
If they are still around, maybe it's better we don't find them. After all we exterminated this animal as soon as we got here. Who's to say if we discovered this animal still alive, we wouldn't do it all over again?
I saw a creature in jarrahdale on scarp road near the start close to the farm on one afternoon it ran like the feature in this video. Had stripes and a strange face that as it darted close to the bonnet of my car its head was tilted in our direction I distinctly remember it having rings on its black tail. Never seen it again this was almost 7 years ago at least but me and my friend never forget seeing it. Was almost as big as a large dog and has a cat like face and black ears.
I've read that numerous tribal people in Irian Jaya (Indonesian New Guinea) have claimed to have seen them in their high valleys. I hope they are still living......and in several places in Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania, of course. Beautiful animal.
Yes. They use camera traps all over the world to track the movements of other endangered species like tigers and leopards. They should use them for this as well. Then we could have some really solid evidence.

That's so not a fox, I have heard stories of sightings in 5 states, and seen paw prints that don't match foxes, dingo or feral dogs. I believe they are around just in very small numbers that roam.
Based on marsupial high reproduction rate, and it’s been 70-80 years since supposed extinction, if they’re still alive there’s been plenty of time to repopulate in high numbers, so there should be many more sightings if they’re around.

What pathetic and horrible creatures are humans. When they were around, they hunted these magnificent things down to extinction. Now they are desperate for a glimpse.
Man, i'm such a terrible person because animals who slaughtered farm animals were hunted by some old biddies who are probably dead of old age in AUSTRALIA
Hey Guys, It’s okay, because an Australian university is (was secretly) studying and monitoring a large family of these animals at the top end of far North Queensland. The local indigenous people have known they were there for a very long time. The University has been tracking and monitoring them for about a year now. Thank you.
@@TURK_182 I think it's too wet up there for bush fires, dunno,just guessing it's a lot different in the tropical parts of Australia not so dry,not so many bushfires
Yeah, I'd need I little more evidence, as they would be the first official mainland thylacines in two thousand years, according to science, so I'm slightly sceptical.
They've been sighted in dense bushland in the Blue Mountains of NSW. There are populations on Tasmania AND the mainland. They'll be fine if we just leave them alone. They aren't scared of us, but they should be!
Robyn Nagorcka's video is of a fox with mange, with an injured foot. The video from the 70's clearly shows a fox with mange as well. Slow down the video and you will see the last bits of fur still on its tail at the tip.
If you look at 3:10, you will see that the back legs have a long midsection, and a short lower section. This matches with the good footage available for the creature. For me this is the most important characteristic. So, for me, it looks like the thylacine could still be alive! But my son says it is just a dog...
Ok, I used to live in SA, and one night my husband and I were driving past southern suburbs that are closer to the bush, and we saw something on the side of the road. I kept on driving, then looked at my husband and asked 'did you see it?' he said 'yes, I did'. It was like a slow action movie, I stopped the car, did u-turn to come back and check that thing again, but nothing was there. So, what we have seen looked like a large cat/leopard/tiger? with long tale, staying still on the side of the road, it was NOT a kangaroo or fox, ok? It was a large animal. Till this day I have no idea what we saw.

With the phone interviews, all of his print casts, as well as other people's casts, makes the photos and videos even more substantial. The government should step up and be willing to put a little money behind proving they still exist, because it will be proven, and the government is going to come out of it looking like they were trying to pull a cover-up. Which all governments will try to do with many different things that they don't want the general public to know about.
@A Florida Son 🤣 The idea of Neil's photo and video evidence being "substantial" is truly hilarious!! The way he gets so excited about things that are SO obviously not thylacines is what's got me so convinced that they're extinct, at least outside of New Guinea.
@@AFloridaSon None of the information provided is even slightly convincing. No great conspiracy exists except on the mind of the gullible or misled. The fact fools or ignorant exist among so-called professionals shows problems with education and general knowledge, not that somehow thylacines have hatched on the mainland Australia. They can't even identify foxes and cats. The soliciting of funds from the gullible to pursue this outright falsehood is abhorrent. The funding of reliable research in Tasmania might have merit, and these con-men and fantasisers are not reliable researchers.
@@stephenbrand5661 And people donate funds to keep these spreaders of untruths in beer and toys. The most useful donation would be a childs book with pictures of dogs and foxes and cats.
It's very unlikely the last one in captivity was the last one alive... But a tiny remaining population would be inbred and vulnerable. The sightings in the 70s could easily be real... but the numbers would have expanded by now if the species was still going... Could be in PNG
It’s a big country mate, and I’m sure they are out there. Me and my mates either saw a ghost of one in the 90’s, sprinting flat out once when in the Western Australian country, won’t say where. But mate we all sat in silence until one of us asked if the other boys saw it , and then we described what we each thought we saw and and concluded eventually what we all saw and all agreed. Stripe and hopping back legs. Like a gallop.
Me my mate seen a thylacine run across the road on McEnroe Road Tarpeena sa, out shooting one night, 2002. Its the only one I've seen in all my years out bush, it's Canter across the road was like nothing else.. I'll never forget That wildlife Encounter..
Like a lot of things hoped to be around--bigfoot, angels, saucermen--no one has produced any proof. I'm rooting that they find some one day but I'm not holding my breath until that day comes.
Jim Pauff I'm normally a skeptic about things like bigfoot, ufos etc as the so called evidence is usually bullshit or ridiculous CGI effects. This case however seems plausible due to the video footage plus the animal did definitely exist at one time.
@@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv I'd agree with you if the quality of the videos was higher. What I see could be mangy dogs or foxes. I'm rooting for the tiger being around but you have to convince me. It seems to me that the rational thing.
Australia is a continent with 24 mil people on it most of them living in the city's so even if they find alive dinosaurs in Australia it wouldn't be far-fetched.
I took a road trip around Tasmania in 2009 and asked around. Some people I talked to swear they’ve seen it. I also came across something on a late night drive that I couldn’t identify, looked too small to be a thylacine though
I saw that exact creature just coming out of kersbrook in the adelaide hill didn't have enough time to film I really beleive Tasmanian tigers are still alive
I'm not convinced but I'm also not counting out the possibility that Thylacines could still be out there. But my questions is simple: We have fantastic tech these days called trail cams which can be strapped to a tree and photograph anything that triggers it with movement. Why is nobody using them? Or are they, and they just aren't seeing any thylacines?
I'm guessing they are using trail cams, but just like with God, you can't prove a negative. It can always be argued that they simply haven't been filmed by these cameras "yet".
Active--You most certainly can prove a "positive." Right now, scientists, most of them, rule out the possibility of a living, breeding colony of Thylacines. All it will take is one crisp, clear video of one of them, or a body, and we will all be on board for the protection of this species. But it has been many decades since the last one (known) died in captivity in the 30's. Don't get me wrong--I hope Thylacines are still here--but there is no real evidence.
You might have misunderstood what I was trying to convey. I agree with you that they are probably extinct. But a lack of decent video footage will not convince those who desperately want to believe they are still alive.
The problem with game cameras is to cover a *very large area* you you need an *unbelievably large number of game cams,* and *somebody* has to *pay for them.* Plus you have to know *where* to put the cams in the first place. You ALSO have to have dedicated teams to service these cameras in review all the footage caught on them. The money and resources needed to do all that would never be available until it was proven the thylacines still existed, and then you wouldn't need the game cams anyway....
In France, we have an old legend about a "beast" in the Gévaudan region, which was described as something between a wolf, a lion and a hyena. It is largely accepted today that the beast was a hyena, or maybe a thylcacine, who broke free from the local fair (historians found out that in the region there was a well-known "curiosity zoo" which sold exotic animals).
That thing apparently killed a lot of people. So slightly possible a hyaena (a few have been man killers), but wolf or lion have much more credibility. Thylacine? They killed chickens, not humans.
I read that story, and could say categorically that a thylacine would not have killed so many people, and there is no record in Australia or them killing people not even children. I recall that the animal description in France turned out to be closer to that of a Lion rather than a Hyena, and could also have escaped from a fair to I suppose.
The idea of thylacines still being out there is a little fantastical, and their appearance that looks very much like a dogs does contribute to false sightings... but Australia is a continent with a very low population density, if an animal could hide anywhere, it could hide in Australia.
0:48 , 3:0404:15 video is indeed a real thylacine. The anatomy matches exactly that of a real thylacine. The heel so close to the ground, the pointy tail. During every jump when it's hind legs are in the air you can even see the stripes for the fraction of a second. It's definitely one. But all other vids are definitely just ordinary foxes. Just look at the heels on their legs. They are way to high to be a thylacine and the tail doesn't match that of a thylacine. Is looks exactly how a 🦊 would look like. But on the 0:483:044:15 vid, that looks exactly how a thylacine would look like if you compare the body anatomy of the video, the stripes and the tail to the real Thylacine fossiles, bones, pictures and videos that are left in universities and on the internet from real thylacines. So it's a genuine thylacine on that old video. But that doesn't mean ist still out there today. It just means at the time the old video was shot they were still out there. They could have still died out since then unfortunately. Especially if their population numbers have become to small to stop inbreeding and keep a self sustaining population.
That video looks like a ridgeback dog breed, which have tapering tails. No stripes on its rump, just like that dog breed. Plus there are thousands of feral dogs cross Australia, and many hunt alone unless they are taking down large prey such as cattle
It makes me sick when some of those "animal rights" supporters say that we humans should all die out. One even commented that a tiger's daily food should be humans!
aspiknf Humans are too varied in nature to be labeled as such, just like in animals such as elephants or chimps that also have their own individuals that vary greatly in behavior. You could say that those animals are nothing but destructive in nature because of how individuals from those species act, despite the more docile members of their species acting in more altruistic ways.
Proportions? To me it looks really small next to the grass behind it. Compare the relative size of the ears with those of a thylacine... Its now absolutely definitive what it isn't. Note also the height of the ankle. Certainly nothing like a Thylacine. There is a group recently collecting blurry, distant images of mangy foxes and claiming they are thylacine, most footage being from well-populated areas in SA (zero road-kill or non-blurry images, oddly enough), they are well known to be hoaxing and strategically avoiding critiques of their claims (all their youtube footage is now 'comments disabled' because in every case they were utterly disproven by numerous people) and this is some of their footage.
Yes! People are seeing things! And these guys from the Thylacine awareness mob (whatever?) should be intelligent enough men to know that the majority of the sightings are foxes! And the rest (in the decade after 2000!) are ridiculously to blurred to be taken seriously. (Even your normal contemporary mobile phone could give better definition and stabilisation!) I want to believe it exists still, but I will not stoop to the fact I 'see what I want to see!'
Orkadian yes but foxes don't run and look like that and at least have hope that the Tasmanian tiger is alive hopefully just that I hope humans protect them not hunt them
I've seen a mother and 1 baby laying in the shade of a tree on the side of the road in Narrogin Western Australia I've also seen something that could have been one near Busselton Western Australia 1995 please leave this animal alone we lost it once so we thought let's not do it again

Old abenaki Indian proverb. When all the trees are cut down, when the last fish is caught, when the last beast is killed , the last river poisned, when the air is to polluted to breathe, only then will yu discover that wealth is not money in the bank, nor can it be eaten.
For a species to not die out and have a stable population, there needs to be over around 10,000 alive. The extinction was destined before the last one died, ever since they got under that number. I believe there were a couple alive within the next few years of the apparent last ones death, but it isn't possible to be alive today.
Not to mention thylacines didn't even live on the mainland, they went extinct from there 2000 years ago. If there were any sightings, they would be in Tasmania, not on the mainland.
10,000? And that is a scientific reasoned amount or just a made up figure? It's funny how people accuse people with sightings as making it up....and then quite happily make up their own BS to justify their own opinion. Hopefully you've also at least visited Australia including Tasmania and have a grasp on how vast it is.
I live in Australia and have visited Tasmania many times, and been to several museums and exhibitions based around Thylacines. From talking to several experts there, I heard from them that it is around 10,000+ for there to be a stable population. Not only that but there has been several searches with thousands of dollars put into them, and it took decades of no sightings from search teams for them to declare it extinct.
Don't know if the SA "experts" have done this but why not talk to the real experts, the local aboriginals and see when it and/or if it was in their storytelling. Maybe their just chasing ghosts.
It's showing and running it's territory. Set up trail cams at the open areas. P.s. I've got a fox in my side yard. He had mange at one point, on the hind end. One, the proportions are off. The muzzle is too big and broad, foxes are more triangular and ummmmm like a triangle that was pinched, the tail is too long and robust, almost looks prehensile and more for balance, the foxes is just a bunch of thin bones wrapped in a plush bush or fur, and is used to convey mood, etc. The length and how it carries itself are off for a fox, the videos are very ungainly and foxes are very fluid. The legs of a fox are delicate, slender, and elegant, while the thylacine are stocky, thick boned and fairly muscular.
If not extinct...l pray they keep running AWAY from humans.
Stay safe and free Thylocenes......

There are many witnesses who have heard them. There's also lots of foot prints that can only be a thylacine.
They’ve been extinct in Australia for some 3000 years or something. You can pretty much disregard every single claim of thylacine in Australia

Jennifer Ramus did it have the stripes?
@ALAN BROWN If You would see something for few moments only would you have time to react and pull the camera? I don't think so.
@Rj Pogi 😭😭😭😂
This is such a huge country, who knows what secrets she still holds.
Yall niggas really came for his life like that. LMFAO
What pathetic and horrible creatures are humans. When they were around, they hunted these magnificent things down to extinction. Now they are desperate for a glimpse.
Honestly that's every living carnivore/omnivore in a nutshell
i use to hunt them in my younger day im 103 years old now i killed about 30
Ok we get that humans are terrible stfu
@@williamcarter6563 damn you despicable killer. You're one of those to blame for this ecological tragedy.
Man, i'm such a terrible person because animals who slaughtered farm animals were hunted by some old biddies who are probably dead of old age in AUSTRALIA
Hey Guys,
It’s okay, because an Australian university is (was secretly) studying and monitoring a large family of these animals at the top end of far North Queensland.
The local indigenous people have known they were there for a very long time.
The University has been tracking and monitoring them for about a year now.
Thank you.
Roger Cook Source, please.
How was that area effected by the fires?
@@TURK_182 I think it's too wet up there for bush fires, dunno,just guessing it's a lot different in the tropical parts of Australia not so dry,not so many bushfires
Yeah, I'd need I little more evidence, as they would be the first official mainland thylacines in two thousand years, according to science, so I'm slightly sceptical.
I’ll try to find the source of information.
Thanks 🙏🏽
They've been sighted in dense bushland in the Blue Mountains of NSW. There are populations on Tasmania AND the mainland. They'll be fine if we just leave them alone. They aren't scared of us, but they should be!
they're magnificent animals. It would be amazing if they were still out there, somewhere. 👍
The males have pouches to protect their goodies - they can take it.
Thanks for that
This is very good too - ruclips.net/video/nmSTv-Gi7RU/видео.html
I hope they are not extinct cause I remember reading about them as a kid and was sad to read that they were killed off
I dreamed last night about a family of Thylacines sunning themselves in sand.They were very happy.
Redragonfly intriguing, how did they look?
Did they look like this?
Praise there name jah bless
@SAMSQUATCH Moss ur gay
Could you tell us more about this dream?
Robyn Nagorcka's video is of a fox with mange, with an injured foot.
The video from the 70's clearly shows a fox with mange as well. Slow down the video and you will see the last bits of fur still on its tail at the tip.
~OBSESSED WITH THE THYLaCINES
If you look at 3:10, you will see that the back legs have a long midsection, and a short lower section. This matches with the good footage available for the creature. For me this is the most important characteristic. So, for me, it looks like the thylacine could still be alive! But my son says it is just a dog...
For sure not a short lower section of the leg. Also too short of a torso and legs too long. For sure not one.
And they don't know it Thylacines/Tasmanian Tigers were actually extinct or not.
Ok, I used to live in SA, and one night my husband and I were driving past southern suburbs that are closer to the bush, and we saw something on the side of the road. I kept on driving, then looked at my husband and asked 'did you see it?' he said 'yes, I did'. It was like a slow action movie, I stopped the car, did u-turn to come back and check that thing again, but nothing was there. So, what we have seen looked like a large cat/leopard/tiger? with long tale, staying still on the side of the road, it was NOT a kangaroo or fox, ok? It was a large animal. Till this day I have no idea what we saw.
How long ago it happened?

Nah bro 2020
un the blue mountains I saw a thylacine
eating a carcasse of horse
I still can't believe not a s8ngle person said you know maybe we should keep a few of these things alive in captivity
Well they did mate, but they don't breed well in captivity and eventually the last one died in 1936.
yortko1 because someone forgot to feed the tiger... Humans
They did but breeding attempts failed.
What's sad is us humans hunted them to extinction.Captivity is no place for a wild animal.As the wild Kratts say."Living free and in the wild"
A fake
I hope they can be saved!
I live on my mi mi road and i see them
@@grumpygristo3234 PLEASE try and get some footage! 🙏🙏
Us human beings are garbage sometimes the dog should have been in the cage it should have been roaming free forgive us mother nature for what we have done
4 years later and the work of Neil Waters has thoroughly convinced me that the thylacine is indeed extinct.
Like credibility
With the phone interviews, all of his print casts, as well as other people's casts, makes the photos and videos even more substantial. The government should step up and be willing to put a little money behind proving they still exist, because it will be proven, and the government is going to come out of it looking like they were trying to pull a cover-up. Which all governments will try to do with many different things that they don't want the general public to know about.
@A Florida Son 🤣 The idea of Neil's photo and video evidence being "substantial" is truly hilarious!!
The way he gets so excited about things that are SO obviously not thylacines is what's got me so convinced that they're extinct, at least outside of New Guinea.
@@AFloridaSon None of the information provided is even slightly convincing. No great conspiracy exists except on the mind of the gullible or misled. The fact fools or ignorant exist among so-called professionals shows problems with education and general knowledge, not that somehow thylacines have hatched on the mainland Australia. They can't even identify foxes and cats. The soliciting of funds from the gullible to pursue this outright falsehood is abhorrent.
The funding of reliable research in Tasmania might have merit, and these con-men and fantasisers are not reliable researchers.
@@stephenbrand5661 And people donate funds to keep these spreaders of untruths in beer and toys. The most useful donation would be a childs book with pictures of dogs and foxes and cats.
Can you make crossbreed BULLDOG + SHITZU?= BULLSHIT🤣🤣🤣
It's very unlikely the last one in captivity was the last one alive... But a tiny remaining population would be inbred and vulnerable. The sightings in the 70s could easily be real... but the numbers would have expanded by now if the species was still going...
Could be in PNG
MrEd or maybe they were alive but because of lack of numbers and food source they died off soon after
It’s a big country mate, and I’m sure they are out there.
Me and my mates either saw a ghost of one in the 90’s, sprinting flat out once when in the Western Australian country, won’t say where. But mate we all sat in silence until one of us asked if the other boys saw it , and then we described what we each thought we saw and and concluded eventually what we all saw and all agreed. Stripe and hopping back legs. Like a gallop.
What sucks is that the more people say that they saw it, the more people are going to look for it. Let the wild be wild
Me my mate seen a thylacine run across the road on McEnroe Road Tarpeena sa, out shooting one night, 2002. Its the only one I've seen in all my years out bush, it's Canter across the road was like nothing else..
I'll never forget That wildlife Encounter..
its plausible theirs still a small number of them left.ya never know mother nature has her ways of beating the odds stacked against her.(mankind)
True..👍
I wish politicians were extinct
Like a lot of things hoped to be around--bigfoot, angels, saucermen--no one has produced any proof. I'm rooting that they find some one day but I'm not holding my breath until that day comes.
Jim Pauff I'm normally a skeptic about things like bigfoot, ufos etc as the so called evidence is usually bullshit or ridiculous CGI effects. This case however seems plausible due to the video footage plus the animal did definitely exist at one time.
@@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv I'd agree with you if the quality of the videos was higher. What I see could be mangy dogs or foxes. I'm rooting for the tiger being around but you have to convince me. It seems to me that the rational thing.
I love them. I wish I had one living in me backyahd
Australia is a continent with 24 mil people on it most of them living in the city's so even if they find alive dinosaurs in Australia it wouldn't be far-fetched.
Dinosaurs were only hypothesised
I took a road trip around Tasmania in 2009 and asked around. Some people I talked to swear they’ve seen it. I also came across something on a late night drive that I couldn’t identify, looked too small to be a thylacine though
Just a matter of time to finally see the wonderful animals for sure.
These videos actually prove that the thylacine is not extinct.
You should have kept it a secret. Now careless, narcissits will try to kill it.
Let's hope so, would, be an incredible recovery!
i hope they never see one... that way, people wont hunt them again
Scrolled down to the comments with the same thought
I saw that exact creature just coming out of kersbrook in the adelaide hill didn't have enough time to film I really beleive Tasmanian tigers are still alive
I love animals from the old times.
I sure hope they're still out there. Aren't they somewhat solitude animals?
The males have pouches to protect their goodies - they can take it.

I'm not convinced but I'm also not counting out the possibility that Thylacines could still be out there. But my questions is simple: We have fantastic tech these days called trail cams which can be strapped to a tree and photograph anything that triggers it with movement. Why is nobody using them? Or are they, and they just aren't seeing any thylacines?
I'm guessing they are using trail cams, but just like with God, you can't prove a negative. It can always be argued that they simply haven't been filmed by these cameras "yet".
Active--You most certainly can prove a "positive." Right now, scientists, most of them, rule out the possibility of a living, breeding colony of Thylacines. All it will take is one crisp, clear video of one of them, or a body, and we will all be on board for the protection of this species. But it has been many decades since the last one (known) died in captivity in the 30's. Don't get me wrong--I hope Thylacines are still here--but there is no real evidence.
You might have misunderstood what I was trying to convey. I agree with you that they are probably extinct. But a lack of decent video footage will not convince those who desperately want to believe they are still alive.
I agree
The problem with game cameras is to cover a *very large area* you you need an *unbelievably large number of game cams,* and *somebody* has to *pay for them.* Plus you have to know *where* to put the cams in the first place.
You ALSO have to have dedicated teams to service these cameras in review all the footage caught on them.
The money and resources needed to do all that would never be available until it was proven the thylacines still existed, and then you wouldn't need the game cams anyway....
Do not know why, but missing you Tylacine from the other Side of the World.Hope you are still out there.
In France, we have an old legend about a "beast" in the Gévaudan region, which was described as something between a wolf, a lion and a hyena. It is largely accepted today that the beast was a hyena, or maybe a thylcacine, who broke free from the local fair (historians found out that in the region there was a well-known "curiosity zoo" which sold exotic animals).
That thing apparently killed a lot of people. So slightly possible a hyaena (a few have been man killers), but wolf or lion have much more credibility. Thylacine? They killed chickens, not humans.
I read that story, and could say categorically that a thylacine would not have killed so many people, and there is no record in Australia or them killing people not even children. I recall that the animal description in France turned out to be closer to that of a Lion rather than a Hyena, and could also have escaped from a fair to I suppose.
I remember reading about this when I was learning French.
The idea of thylacines still being out there is a little fantastical, and their appearance that looks very much like a dogs does contribute to false sightings... but Australia is a continent with a very low population density, if an animal could hide anywhere, it could hide in Australia.
I hope! they still are around.
0:48 , 3:04 04:15 video is indeed a real thylacine.
The anatomy matches exactly that of a real thylacine. The heel so close to the ground, the pointy tail. During every jump when it's hind legs are in the air you can even see the stripes for the fraction of a second. It's definitely one.
But all other vids are definitely just ordinary foxes. Just look at the heels on their legs. They are way to high to be a thylacine and the tail doesn't match that of a thylacine.
Is looks exactly how a 🦊 would look like.
But on the 0:48 3:04 4:15 vid, that looks exactly how a thylacine would look like if you compare the body anatomy of the video, the stripes and the tail to the real Thylacine fossiles, bones, pictures and videos that are left in universities and on the internet from real thylacines.
So it's a genuine thylacine on that old video. But that doesn't mean ist still out there today. It just means at the time the old video was shot they were still out there. They could have still died out since then unfortunately.
Especially if their population numbers have become to small to stop inbreeding and keep a self sustaining population.
Leave it to crappy humans, ruining the world. Worst animal to come about.
I hope they can breed this kind of animal in the future 😭
You're crazy that animal didn't even exist. Theres no evidence of any animal gone to the extinction it is simply impossible
I have seen one at a bush tip near lake eucumbene in NSW Australia about thirty years ago I was about 18 years of age not drunk not stoned.
im glad the thylacine is still alive, from now on the thylacine is my fav animal amd hopefully they r lots of them around the world too :D
I doubt he is out there on other continents
That video looks like a ridgeback dog breed, which have tapering tails. No stripes on its rump, just like that dog breed. Plus there are thousands of feral dogs cross Australia, and many hunt alone unless they are taking down large prey such as cattle
hi
If they still exist keep it on the down low so some sycophantic hunter don't go looking for a trophy
Too many government conspiracy theorists and people trying to convince themselves our entire race is horrible in these comments. So cancerous.
It makes me sick when some of those "animal rights" supporters say that we humans should all die out. One even commented that a tiger's daily food should be humans!
Humans are despicable. Whether that fact upsets you doesn't change the truth.
aspiknf Humans are too varied in nature to be labeled as such, just like in animals such as elephants or chimps that also have their own individuals that vary greatly in behavior. You could say that those animals are nothing but destructive in nature because of how individuals from those species act, despite the more docile members of their species acting in more altruistic ways.

It's a padmelon.

Proportions? To me it looks really small next to the grass behind it. Compare the relative size of the ears with those of a thylacine... Its now absolutely definitive what it isn't. Note also the height of the ankle. Certainly nothing like a Thylacine. There is a group recently collecting blurry, distant images of mangy foxes and claiming they are thylacine, most footage being from well-populated areas in SA (zero road-kill or non-blurry images, oddly enough), they are well known to be hoaxing and strategically avoiding critiques of their claims (all their youtube footage is now 'comments disabled' because in every case they were utterly disproven by numerous people) and this is some of their footage.
@Virat Khanna. keep on dreaming , wanna see a tylacine - clone one.
@@tonyjewell2639 yea right.100% agree.
Why does literally everyone who thinks they found an extinct animal have the worst quality videos ever!
Yes! People are seeing things! And these guys from the Thylacine awareness mob (whatever?) should be intelligent enough men to know that the majority of the sightings are foxes! And the rest (in the decade after 2000!) are ridiculously to blurred to be taken seriously. (Even your normal contemporary mobile phone could give better definition and stabilisation!) I want to believe it exists still, but I will not stoop to the fact I 'see what I want to see!'
Orkadian yes but foxes don't run and look like that and at least have hope that the Tasmanian tiger is alive hopefully just that I hope humans protect them not hunt them

When all the trees are cut down, when the last fish is caught, when the last beast is killed , the last river poisned, when the air is to polluted to breathe, only then will yu discover that wealth is not money in the bank, nor can it be eaten.
For a species to not die out and have a stable population, there needs to be over around 10,000 alive. The extinction was destined before the last one died, ever since they got under that number. I believe there were a couple alive within the next few years of the apparent last ones death, but it isn't possible to be alive today.
Not to mention thylacines didn't even live on the mainland, they went extinct from there 2000 years ago. If there were any sightings, they would be in Tasmania, not on the mainland.
10,000? And that is a scientific reasoned amount or just a made up figure? It's funny how people accuse people with sightings as making it up....and then quite happily make up their own BS to justify their own opinion. Hopefully you've also at least visited Australia including Tasmania and have a grasp on how vast it is.
I live in Australia and have visited Tasmania many times, and been to several museums and exhibitions based around Thylacines. From talking to several experts there, I heard from them that it is around 10,000+ for there to be a stable population. Not only that but there has been several searches with thousands of dollars put into them, and it took decades of no sightings from search teams for them to declare it extinct.
Never say never....never!
Would love to know who these "experts" were.

Don't know if the SA "experts" have done this but why not talk to the real experts, the local aboriginals and see when it and/or if it was in their storytelling. Maybe their just chasing ghosts.
It's showing and running it's territory. Set up trail cams at the open areas. P.s. I've got a fox in my side yard. He had mange at one point, on the hind end. One, the proportions are off. The muzzle is too big and broad, foxes are more triangular and ummmmm like a triangle that was pinched, the tail is too long and robust, almost looks prehensile and more for balance, the foxes is just a bunch of thin bones wrapped in a plush bush or fur, and is used to convey mood, etc. The length and how it carries itself are off for a fox, the videos are very ungainly and foxes are very fluid. The legs of a fox are delicate, slender, and elegant, while the thylacine are stocky, thick boned and fairly muscular.
