  • Hidden in the deep darkness of Australia’s wild island Tasmania, some people believe the mysterious Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian Tiger, still wanders today. But there are many untold secrets that are yet to be revealed… In this original documentary, ‘SEEING STRIPES,’ presenter Isaac Dove looks further into the Tasmanian Tiger story. Isaac goes on a journey around Tasmania investigating the tale of Wilfred Batty, the man who shot what is said to be the last wild Thylacine. He also interviews one of Wilfred Batty’s relatives to discover what really happened to the Thylacine.
    Locals will come forward to bring their stories to light as new facts and tales are uncovered.

    My dad took me to a remote farm an hour from Burnie TAS in 1963. On the way there he told me to never forget this day. An old guy in a dressing gown took us out the back and in a cage was what looked like a big dog with stripes. My dad told me it was a tassie tiger and not to tell any of my mates but never forget it .

    My wife and I have both seen Tassie Tigers on two separate occasions on the same stretch of road, by the river. When I sighted one I mounted a box curb as I descended the hill as the thylacine ran into a property with lots of trees. I just wanted to observe it for as long as possible.
    We live in SW WA. Both sightings less than 5 years ago. I've since installed a dash cam in my ute, but we don't travel around the same time as we no longer work in the same industries.

      The Thylacines of WA appear to be a different species to the Thylacines of Tasmania.
      According to the rock art in the Pilbara region, the WA Thylacine had a different number of stripes.
      Remember that Tasmania is 12,000 years removed from the mainland. The aborigines here could also be considered a genetically different race of people.

Even if the tazzy tigers as are truly gone and cloning can't bring them back there's a lesson about conservation to be taken from this.Those animals were killed in mass because they were inconvenient and now their descendants are regretting that it happened.

    I was camping in a remote area of a trail that comes off the Overland track. I was camping away from the trail. Late autumn time. I had a big creature with four or two legs walking around outside my tent maybe smelt my foot. It was much bigger than a wombat what ever it was. Being on my own i did not move or make a sound. It was not human as not headlight and it was a very dart night way off trail. Couldn't got any footage as well to dark and switching the GoPro on would made a noise. This was back in 2017. Great documentary by the way.

    Excellent documentary. I myself saw a Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger ) on the Nullabor whilst traveling from Perth - Adelaide . At the time I was forced to drive very cautiously due to foggy conditions & poor visability......I could hardly believe my eyes when a Thylacine calmly walked directly in my path as it crossed the road in front of me. I tried to take a photograph but by time I had grabbed a camera it had disappeeared in the mist. I was gob smacked at the sighting as it was nothing like I had ever seen ......it had the stripes of a tiger but looked like a dingo or wild dog. The Thylacine showed no fear or interest as it sauntered by the stationary car & continued on its way
    It was only after I had returned home & done some research did I realise what I had seen. It was an unforgetable memory.
    This sighting occurred around 1982/83

      @@REELRANDOM In NZ repots rom so called credible. professional etc people exist of black panthers. They are always black (recessive colour morph, more obvious in open country etc, but more desirable as pets.
      A "pest control" operator (no reference sought about actual skill, plenty of hunter/dreamers about, among some effective ones) saw an adult one (how to tell?), then shot a "juvenile" one a couple of years ago. Newspaper report/photo produced as proof, head not presentable though shot damage. It weighed 11kg.
      Some scientist had the temerity to get a DNA sample, and get it tested. Pussy cat, simply a huge feral black cat. A species most calling themselves pest controllers are familiar with. So credibility for identification is low Another was a real estate agent who got a close night sighting on the road, swore it was a black cougar. Yeah, right.
      When one of the dozens of effective Aus dog hunters finds evidence of thylacines or Big Cats on mainland Australia, and they could likely produce DNA, then take notice. The rest are seldom remotely credible, mis-identification, or simply intentional misinformation. Which confounds credible reporting, and species saving (for leopards a straight bullet is the immediate answer if possible)
      This presentation is refreshing not promoting drivel, avoiding the bluster and bull and fabrication documentaries tend towards now suffer from. Sound effort

      @@admeyer777 Point being mistaken identity is the obvious situation. Dingoes displaced them on the mainland, and something as well as hunting probably did in Tasmania (maybe not all if wild dogs never occupied al thylacine habitat). They went extinct very easily compared to species we try to eradicate (like wild dogs). And bluntly, trail cameras make detection of rare species far easier, so if someone is seeing them and trail cams aren't, figure why the cameras are lying. Personality familiarity and profession don't prevent misidentification, or self belief.
      As great as finding them would be. Remote, fertile Tasmania or maybe New Guinea are finite possibilities.

    Great doco Isaac, Australia is such a large area and Tassie with it's bushland and dark areas who are we to say that something is extinct just because we haven't seen them for a long time? There must be miles of land that no one has even walked on or seen let alone wildlife. I've seen things in the bush in New South Wales that I could not really tell you what it was, my father has told me about something he saw while going shooting 40 years ago that was as big as a dog but could not say what it exactly was??? Is there even animals in this country that no one has even seen before? Europeans have only lived in this country for 200 years? Scientist are still discovering new creatures all over the world to this day, lets hope anyway that they are hiding up in the hills somewhere away from us.

In 2017 i spent 5 weeks driving around and exploring Tasmania and in the over 5000km on the roads i had 2 sightings of what i thought were the Tassie tigers. The first was on the back roads just outside of Westbury, and the second was on my way up to and near Marrawah. When i asked my friend what i may have seen on my journey he said it was the feral cats. I do not think what i saw was cats, the profiles were about the size of a Coyote in Canada, but the shape of the back end was very different from a k9. Keep searching.

      @@REELRANDOM No, I'm closer to the Quad City Area... Aledo, IL
      As far as my family name, I believe my Hobart side of the family came from Ireland originally, It was at one time Hobert... Supposedly one of my great grandfathers or something was a general or something like that supposably by some loose research I read, at The Battle of Vinegar Hill, he was on the losing side and so had a price on his head so quickly migrated to Canada and then down to this area. I don't know that much of my Hobart side of the family...
      My mother was a Lemon, Which were some of the 1st in US... before it was the US, Like the 1660s Some of the original Is colonist of the new world.

    Why don´t they use environmental DNA (eDNA) from rivers, creeks, lakes and ponds to find out if thylacines still out there?
