Hey everyone! Enjoy this extended chat with Forrest Galante about the Tasmanian Tiger. Also don't forget to check out the WIld Times Podcast, link in the description!
Follow the Authur River all the way to its source and a cave system near that mountain will have them
What drugs is your expert on?
He seriously knows nothing about Tasmania.
"Fragmented" Yeah mate it's called the Tarkine rainfores, home to more than 60 species of rare, threatened and endangered animals . NO FARMS, ROADS OR PEOPLE HERE. Doesn't sound or look "Fragmented" to me. Just very remote. VERY REMOTE.
While he is looking for a Tassie tiger in Papua New Guinea he should keep an eye out for bunyips, they're usually on holiday together.
Yeah Aurthur River is where I would look. There is most likely a large creek system that feeds that river and a mountain that feeds that creek. There are probably cave systems there. There are also large lake systems around there as well.
Tell forest I will go live there for a few months if he teaches me about the area first . I need to escape City living anyway its doing my nut in 😂
@@fredderf551 How many scientific discoveries have you logged. Monster quest ran four seasons and never found anything and you are bashing a guy that has found multiple animals that have eluded others for decades....Whatever drugs give you that false sense of importance, I bet you find the odd dust bunny in your parents basement !
Cheers ...;)
Cookie. You are going places in this world.
Why on Earth has Forrest not produced the photo of the unearthed mandible and shown it compared to a known Thylacine jawbone? The descriptions are intriguing but a graphic presentation would be awesome.
100%
Gotta wait till he can get permits to do a show probably
@@afilthycasualsguidetomma2100 A permit to show a photo? In what authoritarian nightmare would that be the case?
He is probably waiting until he secures funding to make a trip over there. The content would be worth less if he can't start it with a convincing picture of a thylacine jaw bone. Also why would he want to defend the legitimacy of a photo he didn't take and ultimately doesn't know.
He's hoping to save it for part of his tiger show....if he ever goes. He's not in it for the discovery or passion anymore. Money changes people.
These vids with Forrest are becoming my Medication 😂😍
I live in rural mainland Australia, near me is a massive state forrest, mainly known as "the Pilliga Scrub" and once had a Locum (temperary fill in Doctor) tell me he felt like he was mad because one night while driving along the highway he saw what he swares was a Thylacine, the colour, the stiff tail etc, but it was a fleeting glimps in the night as it crossed the road in front of him. I did tell him I didn't think he was mad as you never know what is in the scrub.
I should ad that the highway runs through the edge of the forest
@@nataliedavis1378 What you are saying that the Doctor said, isn't such a "mad" story. From what I've been studying for years, many sightings occur of T's in similar conditions. Thanks for sharing. I sure do hope that some are found where we can bring them back from the edge of extinction.
@@Fair_dinkum I actually live not far from the Shanty, it is a private residence now but the license remains with the building, I think it is actually No. 2 licence
Guarantee they are on the mainland my mum and l saw one in Sunshine Coast hinterland QLD a while ago had to stop the car as it slowly crossed the road about 10 m away late one night ….
@@julesfarm1 All it would have taken was you to have a dashcam in your car and you'd now be the person to bring the Thylacine back from extinction :(.
The Northern Elephant seal rebounded from a few dozen individuals to hundreds of thousands with virtually no nuclear genetic variability. Genetic homozygosity is also not uncommon in plant species which thrive. Actually there are genetic mechanisms that "tie up
reduced genetic variability" and these may be selectively advantageous in certain cases. Examples would be chromosomal translocations and inversions. The theory lack of genetic variation is paramount to extinction is simply false in many species.
We gotta get a thylacine tinder going. "Irian Jayan/Papuan New Guinean thylacine seeking Tasmanian for companionship. Enjoys hiding in the deep bush, hunting small prey and yawning"
We’re like 15 generation of them away from the last recorded thylacine. They only live around 7-8 years and are only breedable for around 5 years. So it’s tough to think they’re anywhere besides New Guinea. Not a lot of hope their but it’s so uninhabited it might have been able to persist.
No, there is a tremendous amount of remote habitat in Taz and mainland AU. Personally, I think--if the thylacine is extant--the largest overall population total is on mainland AU.
@@davida.4933 their hasn’t been any physical evidence for 4000 years in Australia……. Almost no chance it’s their Lad
@@davida.4933 why would you think that there are endless farms throughout Australia which caused a lot of habitat destruction and fragmentation.
@@ntkproductions1761 none on mainland.
@@davida.4933 go look at Google maps, most of the lad they would live in is used for farms so stop speaking cause you make your self sound stupid, remember ever a moron can sound smart but not talking
Awesome conversation! Thanks for posting this :)
I have watched this interview 10 times this is great Forest is the man...!!!
If its still roaming the wilds of Tasmania snd Southern Australia, then the population is small, and covering a wide area.
With so many sightings, there must be some truth in the creatures being the elusive Ausi Tiger.
I think there are still some surviving, but in very small numbers
I think Forrest 100% knows it’s still alive and knows where. He just realized that he can’t keep telling everyone where it’s at lol
What an increadable story! Almost getting a photo of a live thylacine! It's more dramatic and exciting than any fiction, any movie! I wish it to be true so much! Forrest, your stories are just breathtaking, keep it up! I can see a day when you're going to release a real life shot of a thylacine in the wild! 😃
You both have a great ability to educate and still entertain. Your senses of humor make the scientific palliative.
Awesome interview, very cool stuff!
awesome bro! would love to have an opportunity like this one day!!
Cookie if you don’t go to papa New Guinea and do a search episode I’m gonna riot
My guys Cookie and Forrest should team up and go on an expedition in Papau New Guinea
Yeah, I'm saying the same thing. Hopefully Cookie gets invited or INVITES HIMSELF. I sure the hell would, if I had the offer.
South West of Tasmania is where they need to go, none in New Guinea.
@@666theninja you can't say that for sure and nobody can! They were verified to have lived there probably from fossils and roughly 70% of New Guinea is unexplored. The terrain is so diverse that there is a plausible chance they could be there.
@@pyralis_loves_you Where is the Proof they were in New Guinea ?, How can you say there was any in New Guinea, i have never ever heard of any been in New Guinea, only Mainland Australia and Tasmania.
@@666theninja search up "were there thylacines in new guinea"
Forrest is really down to Earth and respectful. I respect that.
Not if you're Neil Waters....
With the vast thick forests in Tasmania it's easily a possibility for the Tasmanian Tiger to exist.
Great video cookie I like the true real passion you have for animals and nature over all and always look forward to your work shoot you can't get more legit than having Forrest galante as your guest for your video I mean this guy's a fucking Legend in the animal world good on ya and forest I really wish I could help both your channels out but I am not financially able to make that happen but I am willing to help nature in any other way Forest I would like to help out some way with the research of rare animal's when you said you would listen or read stories to weed out the BS from fact and map the sightings and locations of the credible witnesses but you really don't have the time to update them like you want the one thing I have is time and would like to help with that I work with the public and have a good ear for BS lol anyway thanx again guys and happy December or whatever is PC now
Mike, you are a good guy. I liked reading what you wrote. So nice to offer your time to help these two Greats in the non-extinct animals researchers. Also, I'll read anything you write (or others write here), but, please, use punctation next time. It's hard because I'm sight-disabled and it's very hard to read your content when my Reader can't locate any punctuation. I have to listen to it 2 or 3 times to finally get all of what you were saying.
@@PoeLemic my apologies I don't think about that kind of stuff when rant. Most of the time I use talk text and to lazy to proof read. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will try harder in the future. Happy holidays.
I'm interested in learning more about the ship that sank en route to the zoo but I can't find anything about it online. Do you have more information?
Maybe Forrest could try crowd funding this expedition. I know I can make a small donation, maybe if enough people gave him a 20 he could go try to find it.
Bro, i loved every second of this!
Amazing interview, thanks Cookie, gives everyone some hope that these beautiful and remarkable creatures are still alive
Dude had no proof all bull crap
@@grantbagwell8092 you sound like the kind of guy that would literally have to be patting one on the head to believe.
@@Juzman I mean lol you know I’m right tho… isn’t it ironic that he has no proof but supposedly has all these people around but no one has any photos and no one knows how to use a camera in New Guinea, it’s 2021
@@grantbagwell8092 look I might agree with you for most places, but PNG, especially the mountain areas are pretty inhospitable places, and people are more concerned with just surviving over there than caring about a rare stripped "dog". Add civil war, violence, abductions and all sorts of diseases. It would be one of the last places to at least have a little bit of hope of them being alive in small pockets. I have plotted a map of all the sightings over there and there are at least three concentrated areas in which they mainly take place, who knows!
Crowd-fund an exped bro, I’ll donate for that! The world needs this right now 👊
Nice to see on board with Forrest, Cookie. Between you and his two mates your the awesome foursome Keep up the great work guys , all very intelligent and interesting 👍
uff you made my day mate!!
You should go around trying to prove/disprove Tasmanian tiger sightings, similar to the big cats in the UK series
I know he'd love to do nothing more but sadly he's based in the UK
Great conversation very interesting, but where are those bone pictures? Did I miss something? Did I blink and missed them?
I beg Forrest goes if anyone can find the beautiful animals if they are still thriving he is the guy would be the hope we need
As Indiana Jones says you have to get out of the Library and into the Wild.
That was my favorite show extinct or a live. My favorite episode was the one your where searching for the Javan tiger.
Awesome episode lads
People think tassie is tiny and that the forest is just a bit of bush. I've lived here all my life and only recently started bushwalking and river fishing. It's massive, completely wild and the remote areas are so remote, you have to be a bushman or crazy to attempt to go out there. The roadkill argument is also completely bunk. There are no roads through the most remote areas, and the dirt roads and 4WD tracks that do exist have little to no use.
That's true. I live here too.
i'm sure we could all get together to finance the trip. I would be willing to chip in quite a bit myself!!!!!!!
some good TT video sightings on YT.I guess it could be out there .
this is the most exciting thylacine video of all time
Probably true in regards to PNG. However Forrest, Tasmania is 70% National park. The entire south western side of Tasmania is inhabitable. It’s mountain ranges, etc. has never been explored. That’s where it is, or would be. No one has done an extensive search in the south east.
The Franklin Dam had of been built there would of been some roads into the south west, Screw the Greens and the High Court of Australia stopping that Dam.
@@666theninja wait, what? You actually support the destruction of forest and building of roads through the south west? I hate the greens but come on
Not even that weirdo Neil?
@@juliovillagran4105 lol no. He walks around local areas to him from what it seems. Seems he doesn’t put that, much effort into his work
@@Tasmanaut I worked for Tas Hydro on the Franklin Dam and there are roads into the Southwest, there is a Road to Mount McCutchin on the way to Warners Landing
I would go , if would be the adventure of a lifetime . Its really hard to belive no one would finance this expedition .
I know from reading about the kokoda trail that that part of the world is no joke to exist in but in these days of billionaires paying to go on a space ship surely this would be ten times more worthwhile and ten times cheaper .
Love your laugh when Forrest mentioned Neil waters ;)
why not get the people who took the photo, of the jaw bone to mail the bone to him for DNA testing? @cookie @25:00
Good question
Stop that would be too logical. Bigfoot's razer of convenient coincidences effecting definitely existing animals would cause a Vulture to swoop in and take the jaw bone the day before someone thought of mailing it in.
Have a brilliant Christmas 🤶 🎅 🎄
It still exists though few in numbers.... if you want to find something extremely rare try finding the Black Quoll with no spots (less than 1.5hrs from Melbourne)
But a tassie tiger is much more exciting than a quol!
Forrest needs to sort this out once and for all
Good interview
Here from wild times THANKYEW COOKIE
Wasn't the first Chupacabra sightings in the 1995 in Puerto Rico? If the ship crashed 6 months before the first sighting where was the ship for the 60 years in between?
What was the ship called? Where did it run aground? I guess if it ran aground on Puerto Rico then they might have survived and possibly even bred for a generation or two to be seen in 1995. Is he not confusing it with the Jersey Devil?
That makes perfect sense why they are not getting seen avoiding dingos and going into the mountains forest where dingos dont not there habitat and they avoid people as well i dare say being very shy with humans
Makes a lot of sense
Are there any updates to this story? How has nobody been out to check out this place in Papua New Guinea??
Im in the UK , and im facinated by the Thylacine
Maybe he will also see the pterasour in PNG while tracking the thylacine....... here's hoping
Ask BBC or WWF or NatGeo or crowd-source for funds..? I would fly there just for the chance of an adventure with Forrest .. 😅
Please Forrest go to their and search. Very interesting story thanks for sharing
Short Answer: YES
It would be wonderful if they were still living somewhere.
Love this Stuff
How much would cost for around 5 people to go and look for a couple of weeks?
I totally love Forest
Simply put. Yes it is
The whole chupacabra legend before the 90s Puerto Rican version that cropped up after the movie species popped up was mentioned on the show bonanza and was called the chotocabra a night hawk said to drink the goats dry of milk not blood
I just looked up the transcript for that episode, and your right! The chotocabra the goat sucker was mentioned on bonanza wow
@@capatani1152 yeah there are two drastic different versions of the Chupcabra. The canine version is most likely to exist than the alien type.
@@mysteryjunkie9808 Just to be clear I don't believe in either
@@capatani1152 noone seems to remember about it nor do they seem to know when it changed
@@matthewflatt9741 That's such an old show too did you find that yourself or did you hear it from someone else?
Amazing
I live in the UK . Today I visited the Bristol City museum and art gallery. They have a stuffed Thylacine on display! I do not know when they acquired it, could it provide a source of dna?
I was in Bristol in November and the fact that I didn't know they had a thylacine on display is killing me! Gah, what a wasted opportunity!
@@matthewblackwelder6487 my daughter took a photo of it can pass it on if you like. I want more info about it, like date of death or taxidermy just in case it's past the date they where classified extinct
I wonder if they ever had one in bristol zoo?
i really wish it was still around would be so cool if it was
So can we see the picture of the jaw bone
There are MANY people who truely believe that in VERY certain SELECT AREAS in Australia that they have seen live Thylacines in current times and therefore do not believe that they are extinct just really hidden still. And there are people who DO search for evidence all the time.
As I have said latterly, you occasionally see weird stuff in the bush.but it is fleeting.
forrest galante is. awesome
I’m from Tassie and this guy doesn’t know where to look. Also farmers if they saw one they probably wouldn’t tell anyone besides close family members. Sadly I think they are gone but definitely around into the late 90s.
@Jo Sm What caused their demise? There is a interview from the mid 1990s of a old lady that use to look after Thylacines at Hobart Zoo. She credits disease as an big part of their demise. Dogs and other animals carry diseases which can wipe out specie’s population. Just look at the Tassie devil. Why I think they lasted into the 90s. All the sightings from credible people I know, always say I saw one but that was years and years ago.
I really really hope you find it.
If thats a tazmanian tiger you should go for it even the animal died. Go for the bone and examine it.
Exactly, but for some strange reason that never happens. No bones, no carcasses found anywhere. It's almost as if that animal was extinct 🤔
@@adrenochrome_slurper My dog ate my extinct carcass. But I swear I did it.
The last Thylacine I know of & saw first hand was 1989 (was a juvenile) But I feel they have been gone since the late 1990s for a number of reasons….
Any evidence?
@@packerjh2 yes mate , but it’s a story that’s too long , too complicated & implicates others , one who owns the evidence (photos that will be taken to the grave with him ) to explain here …..and besides they I feel are all gone now., so not much point.
@@loadeddog8015 you can't leave us hanging like that. So you are implying you know something about the ones that were smuggled secretly?
@@Tasmanaut Know nothing about any smuggling other than those sent to Wilson’s prom in Victoria by lady Beaumaris in the early 1900’s . No this was a accident that would open a can of worms as ppl tend to judge yesteryears folk as how ppl think today . This incident divided friends that were involved as know one could agree on how it should be dealt with & where I’m from you just shut up & go about your business like nothing happened. Small town , big repercussions that go on generation after generation . While no one talks of it , no one forgets either….. Every few years comes a wave of interest in the thylacine & it gets me thinking of it ….so just thought I’d say that they were here later than ppl think , but honestly I believe they are gone & have been for the last couple of decades.
@@loadeddog8015 yeah interesting. The ones sent to Victoria is what I was hinting at. From your story I can only guess as to what happened. I have a family history connected to what became of some of the last indigenous tasmanians, I kind of know what you mean. Some great great etc grandfather was a convict then worked as an interpreter or something that helped convince them to go along with the failed resettlement that occurred.
Come on Forest, almost got on a plane, almost! That should have been automatic. Shit I’ve got a GoPro, hit me up.
Forrest is such a nice man - unless your name is Neil Waters.
Such a nice bloke!
I find it a bit ironic that Galante can criticise Neil Waters yet his 'own discoveries' have all been criticised as him basically coming in with the cameras after the work was done by others. Perhaps the fame has gone to someone's head?
@@benwoodbridge4967 There is always the need for an amount of preparation and recon ahead of the filming of any TV program. However, unlike the over-enthusiastic, premature prouncements of Mr Waters, Forrest really has been able to say on multiple occasions 'congratulations we did it!' Peace.
@@benwoodbridge4967 done by others? Have you got any examples….
@@TheHeartThief You can find the info on Galante's' own Wikipedia page - with references. Scroll down to "criticisms"
They are still here...
There's reported sightings of these tigers in Cape York in remote Queensland Australia. The local Aboriginal people claim there name is Moon dog .🤔
Would be a nice tv show
I got £20g's a camera a strimmer and a tent!! Lets do this shit!👍
I hope to see thy pups
did they report the striped dog had a pouch?
Apparently this is a repeat discussion that was already broadcast.
I have been really enjoying watching you and watching Cookie as well and your discussions on the Thylacine. A lot of us are awaiting the trip to Papa New Guinea. What is happening with that? Hopefully, this doesn't turn into a continuous "discussion" of the possibility of the Thylacine in Papa New Guinea without the actual trip being conducted. Please be as transparent as possible and take that step brother. There are only so many discussions about the Thylacine and the possibility of them existing in certain places before people give up following the dream.
Well he probably would if he could get funding
@@HkFinn83
I'm sure you're right but it's been at least a year since this post. It really seems like a great video could come out of that trip. I can't remember all the details because it's been a long time since I watched this video. The Thylacine is very popular and it seems to be one of the animals that a great deal of people around the world are hoping may still exist.
he should try and find the Ivory Billed Woodpecker.
Tassie Tiger has so much more gravitas!
@@juliovillagran4105 Came close to chasing Mr. IBW...very similar situation....
YES LAD!
You can’t tell he’s from South Africa until he says the word “can’t”
South West of Tasmania is where they are, Massive area of Tasmania Locked up, these two need to get the Network behind them and get a heap of Trail Cams and spend two years in the wilds of the Tasmanian South West and look. Won't find one unless you go do it, as Indiana Jones says you have to get out of the Library and into the Field. Convince your network Forrest and DO IT.
That’s the place to look…👍
It's not ideal habitat as one might suppose. Very soggy ground, and trekking can be very frustrating to the point one would surely prefer other activities (why am I not back in the Philippines SCUBA diving?). I was deep in there a few years ago and saw no sign, but will go back as soon as travel allows but with a more focused approach.
@@davida.4933 would love to give you a spot & info , but I am very cautious who I tell ( which is why I have never divulged anything to Neil waters) as I was apart of a group of hunters 30 yr ago that know of one , a juvenile …. I don’t honestly think they are there now . Would have been pushed back so much further s/w , if they are still about at all , which sadly I don’t think they are ….
How about the North West, the Tarkine, Zeehan, Savage river area.
its about correcting our mistakes
Well there is no Australian who wouldn't like a dinkie di Tassie Tiger to be found. The western side of Tasmania has little access. So there are possibilities there but i had never heard of the possibilities of Papua. Given the epic battle of Kokada trail in WW2 it is possible. Wow! A friend was abducted in the 60's by the mud people and he was really pissed off when his parents had him found because he was a prince amongst the mud people and was enjoying his new life!
Occasionally you see some weird stuff in the bush. I have seen a domestic cat lopping along a road very purposely. Doubtless he was going to dinner. I remember a time when at church, the homestead wives figured out they were feeding the same cat. Cat was working them in shifts.
Another time I see this somewhat feline shape but lopping along at least twice if not thrice the size of a domestic cat. At the time I exclaimed WTF. I still haven't resolved what it was. During WW2 it was said that some US troops had a puma as a mascot and periodically there are reports of puma sittings. After my wild huge wild feline siting i could get that. But no, it wasn't big enough enough. I am scientific enough to accept I can't explain what i saw.
But not every body is.
I knew what they were when I was little I seen Ben on video. But I didn't know they could snap a kangaroos head off when the open their mouth at 90 degrees angle I didn't know they had pouches to carry the young , have 5 toes with claws front paws and their ankles are lower then the wolf . They eat the inner guts of the 🦘 Kangaroo .I always thought they were interesting animals looks like a mixture of all kinds of animals .
Forrest Galante, if he went to Papua New Guinea, I have the strange feeling even if he didn’t find the thylacine there, it wouldn’t be all wasted. Odds are good he would discover a new animal species unknown to science because so much of that region remains unexplored. Its the terra jncognita of biology because like our vast oceans, only a small portion of our planet has been catalogued. Much of it is inaccessible to people and getting to it is the work of a lifetime. If one thought getting to Everest is an arduous undertaking, imagine what’s needed to venture into habitat far from civilisation. The gaps in our knowledge about nature are larger than the facts we have discovered about it and there’s still so much we don’t know.
Pay the villager to ship you the jaw bone. If real, it's age would be proof of their continued existence .
More people know about tabby cats that happen to have stripes they can id them from the back of the head now 😂
Yes, they're alive.
Pretty much word for word the same as what was said on previous videos
Well yep, the other videos were clips taken from this video
Weird how there wearing the same clothes aswell🤔????
@@counterfeitclone Mental init!
🤣🤣🤣 we’ve all been there mate
Cryptozoology literally means “Study of hidden animals” so I think Forrest is into Cryptids but just doesn’t want the negative press that comes with it.
Bro if he really wanted to get the dog he’d get it😤
I'm not necessarily a fan ,but this i nterests me.
When will Forrest go to New Guinea????
Come straya, plenty out bush
Wow not only do i believe forest he comes across very genuine nothing like neil waters 😂😂,
amazing details without giving out any details before hand, when it came to the second dog that had died i thought this is made up,
then he said about the jaw and then along with super details like stripes found them in a hollow log straight tail etc,
surely forest has to go its a must before neil waters jumps on that wagon to beat forest to getting one,
neil waters is definitely the type of guy to do that
I want forest to be the one to find one
The fact or faked paranormal TV series had an episode where a sherif caught a chubacara was running in front of his car on his dash cam it looked pretty weird with a long sharp jaw & funny gait it's worth looking at they think they could be breeding with jackals.
Sir if you want to start collecting items for Forrest to get down there with game cams I will donate two right now With new SD cards and batteries
Maybe Forrest is hinting at Papau to misdirect people from looking in Tasmania.
