Hello ! When I lived in Germany, big forest, in order to protect the animals from crossing roads or highways, they build very large forest bridges so the wild animals could safely cross roads and highways safely. They even dug tunnels for rodents. That is the way to protect wild life. Phil. Peace.
There are large sections of the Hume Hwy and the M1 Motorway and probably many other roads in Australia that are fenced so nothing gets through as long as the maintenance is kept up. Where the fences are erected they have tunnels under the roadways. But the biggest problem is Governments cutting costs for maintenance on these projects.
I guess I just assumed that German wildlife would've had the planning and engineering skills to build their own bridges and tunnels. Huh. I learned something. :D
Works really well It’s a bit more difficult if there are large predators around that hide out at crossing points and wait for animals to attempt to cross
@@Flies2FLL Good to know there's precedent for this idea somewhere in the US. Is it effective at all? Because I could absolutely see a deer still opt for pavement.
Most Tasmanians think that, something of a guilt conscious hoping that they are still there but chances are bushfires, deforestation, disease and a small gene pool saw it's extinction decades ago.
@@baz77a No no! It is always 100% mans fault all the time. Nature was 100% stable and balanced with no problems till man messed it up. " Thats The Science" and you cant argue science. You are guilty so I can make you do things I want. .... Guilt , guilt , guilt.
I'd love to see Tasmanian Devils and Thylacines freely roaming the Victorian forests. Native fauna has not encountered either species for a long time, but they once co-existed here - unlike dogs, foxes, or cats.
I was lucky enough to see a wild devil in Tassie once. Eating something next to a highway near the cradle mountain area. Didn't think too much of it at the time, but visited a sanctuary later and they said it was very rare to see, sadly.
@@kbkman7742 love to see that too . Theres a woman on youtube lives next to the bush who feeds them at night dozens of devils and quoll's turn up for a free meal !
That would be nice but they want farmers to get rid of cows because they produce methane which causes greenhouse. They never mention the millions of wild animals in Africa that produce methane. Something wrong with this kind of thinking…
@@stephengraham1153 Yes, if you are only starting with 1 or 2 or even 4, the gene pool will be so small they will suffer from inbreeding which will only lead to their death from mutations.
The British killed the Irish wolf off while invading Ireland and now there's an over population of rabbits since there's nothing to hunt and kill them to keep the number down 💀
Until the fire you play with, burns you with it. For how many time did science destroy in the name of innovation and a great future. Problem is not science, it's the humans that wield that power are using it for fame or for money or for power. Human who do not know all things pretending to know all things are pretty foolish don't you think?
They decided to protect them after the last 1was left to rot and die in a "zoo", a big help that is hey. I hope they're brought back, there might still be some out their, good video btw, thanks.
They are about! They breed at half the rate or less than anything introduced and Dingo! Much harder to find obviously. Anything found will be confiscated by Australian government denied n sold to colossal for The the DNA they must have to even get close to their hope of completion of this experiment! 😉
As Jonie Mitchell wrote in one if her beautiful songs about preserving our precious environment: "You don't know what you've got til it's gone 🎶🎶.....They paved paradise to put up a parking lot! 🎶🎶"
@@ronaldturner4849 Regarding parking lots, I saw a video that had as topic how in the US in the 1950s the US car industry made a MASSIVE propaganda campaign for building roads - to sell more cars, of course. The gist was "when there are bigger roads, then there are no traffic jams, then you can get quicker in the city, and live further outside in your own houses in beautiful suburbs". And in these times they effectively took working city districts with dense housing (that was near the working places) (of course not so privileged districts) and flattened them to build giant highways and even more giant parking lots. So instead of walking 10 minutes to work, you had to drive an hour to the parking lot (where you lived before) from where you walked 10 minutes to your job. Adds a surprising new aspect to Joni Mitchell's song, or?
It seems that is a good possibility to recreate an extinct species, because you get an embryo that is so small. But the other guy is right, it is anything else than an original Thylacene. Even when you can reconstruct the DNA, you have to implant it in an egg, a a Dunnart egg, and this also contains lots of information, including RNA. The female inheritance is determined by the RNA of the mythochondria in cells, because this is ONLY passed on by the mother in the egg cells. You will have a thylacenized giant dunnart.
Here in Germany someone tried the same the classic way to recreate an aurochs, crossbreeding old bovine races. He got an impressive result, looks really good, but in the meantime it is not considered as aurochs anymore. It is called the "Heck-Rind" after its creator.
You have a very poor understanding of genetics. Genetic inheritance is determined by the base chromosomes. Mitochondrial DNA is passed mother to offspring but it does not interact with the nuclear DNA. As for the donor eggs, they are completely stripped of their own haploid DNA and implanted with a full set of the desired DNA. When we are talking about bringing back extinct species, the biggest hurtles are going to be mutation, immunity and behavior. If you only have one specimen, it MUST be male in order to give you the full genetic code. The first two individuals are going to be clones of the original but one is going to have it's Y replaced with a duplication of it's own X. This means that any offspring WILL carry any mutations of the specimen, beneficial or detrimental. The breeding population is going to be so small every new mutation will propagate throughout the population very quickly, speeding up evolution and turning it into something new. Innate immunity is inherited during pregnancy. If these clones are lab grown, they will not have any immunity to any disease when they are born. Their immune cells will have to figure things out on a case by case basis which will leave them extremely vulnerable to disease and severe allergies. If they want to grow these clones in a surrogate, the closest living relative is the Tasmanian Devil, which is quite a bit smaller and may not be able to survive carrying a Thylacine embryo to term. Not all behaviors are instinctual. In fact, most behaviors and life skills are learned from parents and siblings. Even if we manage to clone them and establish a population, they will not act like the Thylacine of old because their social tendencies, fears and fighting/hunting skills will have originated from human interactions. It won't be for many many generations without human interference that they may come to resemble their ancestors.
@@dhawthorne1634 No, feedingchooks or whatever, has a far better understanding of genetic engineering than a geneticist since he posted a comment on RUclips - it exalts you that.
@@dhawthorne1634 the maternal inheritance of mitochondria very well may be a problem. The nucleus DOES express genes that interact with the mitochondria, and there should be some co-evolution. For example the mechanism of cell death involves interactions between the mitochondria and the rest of the cell and it gets triggered by changes in the nuclear DNA.
It certainly would be affect via maternal RNA in terms of gene expression, so i agree, the animal will be technically to some degree a hybrid, not a pure Thylacine.
The option of the resurrecting the bandicoot mentioned at the end may be more practical and should be just as popular as many know it from a video game.
Wolverines survived the Euro-xtian mind set but they had a wilderness to escape too in the north. The Tiger didn't have anywhere to go except up into the hills.
I believe they still exist across tassie and parts of southern Australia, a lot of these sightings are a small step to getting one on film without any doubt of their continued existence, and these animals are very clever in hiding and will continue to do so.
You must also believe in the Keebler Elves and the Easter Bunny. The sightings are a scam to attract gullable Tourists to spend money like the Locke Ness monster which was a submarine with a Dinosaurs head glued to it.
at around 16:37 the museum employee is saying that the gap between a Dunnart and a Thylacine is just too great - he says it would be a bit like changing "a dog to a cat" I would counter "a Chihuahua to an Irish Wolfhound" - except - hold on - aren't a Chihuaha and an Irish Wolfhound both the same species... ?
I remember reading about these animals in an old popular book of science, and its already indicated in that book that they are already extinct. I'm so happy they are back
A lab rats will always be a lab rat this is playing god and we all know what happened in Jurassic Park even though it was a movie, it showed us what happened if you start trying to do gods work !

I believe there are numerous 'extinct creature still living hidden'. However fascinating this may be, the idea of laboratory recreated animals is terrifying.
Even flying from Hobart to Sydney you can a bit of an idea about how empty of humans and their works the State is. The interior must be daunting in the extreme. Why wouldn’t it be possible for thylacines to have retreated from predation and still be extant but not (or not much) seen?
Why should people feel the slightest bit guilty about extincting animals? The Earth has been extincting entire species for millions of years all by her lonesome.
@@williamneal7210 People feel guilty about the Tasmanian tiger because they know that it was driven to extinction by human activity. They feel like they could have done something to prevent its extinction, and they feel responsible for its loss. This guilt can be a powerful motivator, and it can help to drive people to take action to protect other endangered species.
@@williamneal7210 Nature is an unconscious force that acts without thinking. We on the other hand make conscious decisions before we act. This makes us accountable for what we do. Anyone with a conscience regrets poor decisions that have bad consequences.

Makes me sad everytime I see that B&W footage of the Thylacine in that cage. Tasmania has some very remote large bush. I guess it's possible some survived for a while but enough to sustain a viable genetic pool large enough? I don't know about resurrection though? 0.1% difference in DNA sounds small until you realise we are only a few percentage points from an Orang-utan. Somehow seems like they're tampering with something we know very little about.
@@bigDbigDbigD um no it wasn't! People were expressing questions as to if it's possible & if it's the best use of funds, but no-one expressed a desire to not resurrect them! Stop making things up!
@@mehere8038 Its always the small minded dumb people that say if its best. Just think of the advancement we could make in cloning if this ever got done. Think of the spin offs that could one day save sick people.
There have been so many sightings over the years that some people are saying they need to be taken off of the extinction list and put on the endangered species list just to prevent anyone from shooting the few existing thylacine.
@@Futurekalk they are putting them in a park in siberia bro and they will help with cooling of the area by 5 degrees theres alot written about it if you search pretty interesting
10:05 wow... This is giving me flashbacks of an episode of Lost, with that character Michael Faraday (i think was his name). I wonder if they filmed for that episode here... 🤔
If the Portuguese had colonized the island of Tasmania, the thylacine would still be alive. I say this because the Portuguese were the first Europeans to arrive in Australia.
If they can do this to bring back the Tasmanian Tiger and succeed then we can also help the other Protected species. You have to remember the Scientists are not allowed to do these Tests on a Protected species.. So if they can Prove they can help with genetic interference then maybe Tasmania can change the Laws to enable this kind of Help…
Cant you guess the similarity with god making human with god like features. It will take 3or 4 steps to make real like tiger. Other steps we have tondestroy. God did tge same wgen making man.
Τhe last museum expert seems to not understand what changing 5% of the genome can produce. The difference for example between man and chimpanzee is just under 4%. It's a brave new world out there!
This project has my approval. Excellent scientific groundbreaking work. 0:59 is a picture of a fool. 15:59 is a video of a tyrant that never accomplished anything and is jealous.
I totally agree with the business gentleman. Once one gets close, the next step is the geno of a pure likeness. All is needed is getting close, then it is a done deal.
The naysayers in this video remind me of all the "purists" who opposed capturing California Condors in the wild and breeding them in captivity. These "true-lovers-of-nature" argued that the condors should just be allowed to go extinct. The people who genuinely cared about the condors ignored them and launched a captive breeding programme that rescued these birds that had been in the Americas for millions of years. Today, despite some recent losses to avian flu, there are flocks of California Condors' soaring in the skies in California, Mexico and the Grand Canyon, and they are magnificent!
Somewhere out in the vast and unexplored wilderness that is Tasmania i hope there are still some survivors.perhaps they changed their habits and hid away from man.many sightings must mean something.
@@AchillesSeverus It's all made up to get gullable tourists to visit. Any pic taken that is blurry is fake. The Nessie was a toy submarine with a Dinosaur head glued to it. The man that took the pic admitted it on his death bed. And Bigfoot is also fake it was a guy in a suit.
It's not prehistoric tho, it's a modern day animal, which makes its extinction worse because it was supposed to be alive today if it wasn't for humans. It went extinct in 1938., so less than 100 years ago.
I hope they can bring it back to life jurassic park style, but I think the real problem once released into the wild, is that it would be so valuable that poachers would just hunt it to extinction again because ppl are wankers.
Is it possible that there are Tasmanian tigers like this in Thailand? I lived in Isan, near the Cambodian border, for over 20 years. One day the locals came to my house in a line, like a hunt. And suddenly an animal that looks so similar to this Tasmanian tiger ran towards me. The locals screamed; stop him, I replied, no, I won't, because I saw the fear of death in the eyes of this beautiful animal. It looked at me for a moment and ran past me through my large garden. I later found out that the locals had caught the animal after all.
Gotta love the guy it's impossible don't waste the effort. In the same breath starts mentioning animals he clearly wants to do first. Would their efforts have been put down by him if they started with one he wants. It sure sounds like he would have a different attitude in that scenario.
15:40 Of course, there won't be any animals released in the next 10 years. The initial generation is quite expensive, and the first generations will primarily be part of breeding programs in zoos. Perhaps, after many years, some of the first animals may eventually be released into the wild.
They became exstinct for a reason. I think that's the way nature intended. We know dinosaurs used to live here but hopefully no one thinks we should bring them back. The science is interesting but not realistic..
Awareness always comes when it's too late.. Will we ever learn? "I'm afraid not". But this would be amazing for science if and when they succeed. We only already should start thinkin' about the consequences bringing ém back, will have.. Here in the Netherlands we reintroduced the European Wolf, and with it came a lotta problems for our farmers.
Maybe, but we were the ones who compromised the balance of nature with human progress. There are ways to discourage wolves to keep away from livestock. In the States, they reintroduced wolves to Yellowstone National Park and the restoration to the flora and fauna of the park is priceless.
The dinosaurs went extinct because of a natural disaster but humans killed off the Tasmanian Tiger. Human interference should be addressed first when resurrecting a species.
At the 0:55 mark when the guy says "to do something that is unfeasible" is NOT A GIVEN! It will not be a freak show. It will be the human race righting a wrong we imposed on one of God's creatures. How can that be a bad thing? Losing the Tasmanian Tiger was a loss for our planet. Giving it back is nothing more than putting things right!
They are sighted out in the bush, the people who know they are there just do not talk about them because more people will come and try to capture/kill them.
I feel like they just talk the talk to get sponsors to support their interests in further development of the tech with giving us hope that they themselves don't know if they can complete
a few got sent to the London zoo but no one knows when they died, 1931 I guess. if they are brought back to like can they be tamed to eat the rabbit in Austrailia?
for around 10 years wolf was seen in Denmark before the proof was heavy enough that the state recognized it, pictures was not enough for the biologists only when a dead wolf was found -science recognized it as a fact.
Thylacine was a strange creature, certainly stranger than most Australian mammals. When you look at it it indeed appears to be a work in progress and one with a rather long way to go before being perfected. Half dog, half kangaroo and a bit of crocodile for good measure. This strange chimera was nonetheless I expect still perfectly adapted (ironically) for survival as a species until we came along. "The Thylacine was critical in balancing the ecosystem" I seriously doubt they did more than the motor car does today to keep species in check or even healthy. From what I've seen on Tasmania road kill will pretty much wipe out everything alive, young old, infirm or healthy. Thylacine wouldn't have stood a chance even if it had survived persecution.
Coyotes live very near humans and are rarely killed by automobiles. There would be some hope. Various predator re-introduction efforts are showing how critical predation is as human hunting wanes.
@@BHShaman Yes they are important in any ecosystem. Coyotes are an entirely different species that have been persecuted for a long time, they have adapted and survived. I've seen a few myself just trotting up a ditch or vanishing over the horizon. it would be nice to think but I'm not sure Thylacin had the same smarts as a canine like a Coyote. Thylacine went extinct on the Mainland Australia, Tasmania and Papua. By comparison if thats even possible he Cayote has survived persecution pretty well. One of It's closest living realtives the Tasmanian Devil is unfortunately threatened with obliteration, the biggest threat is road kill, not only do they become it they scavenge on road kill putting themselves directly in harms way, Thylacine was most likely also part scavenger.

0.1% difference in DNA sounds small until you realise we are only a few percentage points from an Orang-utan.
Somehow seems like they're tampering with something we know very little about.
Shades of Covid-19, and we know how tinkering with that turned out. Man playing God isn’t going to work out well.
Hard for me to believe that anyone would not want to de-extinct a thylocine
no-one's saying that!
@@mehere8038 it was right in the video.
@@bigDbigDbigD um no it wasn't! People were expressing questions as to if it's possible & if it's the best use of funds, but no-one expressed a desire to not resurrect them! Stop making things up!
@@mehere8038 “best use of funds” is double talk for let’s do something else.
@@mehere8038 Its always the small minded dumb people that say if its best. Just think of the advancement we could make in cloning if this ever got done. Think of the spin offs that could one day save sick people.
Maybe these Tassie Tiger sightings are the ghosts of the ones killed/murdered 😢🙏🏽
And maybe not George!
Ghosts seem like the least likely explanation.
Awesome! Bring it back since man is the reason why it is no longer here. Please bring it back.
That dude who's against this thing is a hater
There have been so many sightings over the years that some people are saying they need to be taken off of the extinction list and put on the endangered species list just to prevent anyone from shooting the few existing thylacine.
This is so exciting. I hope this critter comes back as well as the wooly mammoth (mentioned in the media a few years ago).
Yes it would be quaint and yet verging on queer. A Thylo-trans-cine 🤫
@@sheerluckholmes7720 😂 😂 😂
they only want the wooly mammoth for its tusks, we cant even look after our native elephants and rhinos,
Wooly Mammoth? Why? And where would you place it? Zoo's?
@@Futurekalk they are putting them in a park in siberia bro and they will help with cooling of the area by 5 degrees theres alot written about it if you search pretty interesting
10:05 wow... This is giving me flashbacks of an episode of Lost, with that character Michael Faraday (i think was his name).
I wonder if they filmed for that episode here... 🤔
If the Portuguese had colonized the island of Tasmania, the thylacine would still be alive. I say this because the Portuguese were the first Europeans to arrive in Australia.
IAM ALL FOR THIS MADNESS , WANT TO EVENTUALLY TO SEE A T REX ON THE LOOSE IN MANHATTAN !!!
If they can do this to bring back the Tasmanian Tiger and succeed then we can also help the other Protected species. You have to remember the Scientists are not allowed to do these Tests on a Protected species.. So if they can Prove they can help with genetic interference then maybe Tasmania can change the Laws to enable this kind of Help…
I've seen one main land Australia, also heard one in the same area around 5km away 6 months before I seen it.
What happens with the animals that don't meat the criteria to be a Thylacine. Do they terminate them or are they a new species of animal.
Cant you guess the similarity with god making human with god like features. It will take 3or 4 steps to make real like tiger. Other steps we have tondestroy. God did tge same wgen making man.
Hope you guys bring it back💯💪🏽😁
This could be filmed yesterday or 20 years ago and I couldn't tell
I think that's the point.
True but this is "new".
Τhe last museum expert seems to not understand what changing 5% of the genome can produce. The difference for example between man and chimpanzee is just under 4%. It's a brave new world out there!
No doubt he has been given lots of money for this genome experiment. They are trying to make us believe they are better then our true Creator.
“This… does put a smile on my face.”
Tazzy devils are so cute. They’re like huge dangerous mice😂
I hope they also bring back the Paddle Pop Lion too!
and Elvis
Dodo bird, pls 🤗
And Michael Jackson
@@redvelvet9215 nope. He slept with kids.
Put tunnels under the roads so speeding motorist dont kill them .
Not one road kill Tiger has ever been found, not one !
What a beautiful animal
This project has my approval. Excellent scientific groundbreaking work. 0:59 is a picture of a fool. 15:59 is a video of a tyrant that never accomplished anything and is jealous.
Just think of the advancements we would make in cloning if we could bring this animal back. People dont get it. They cant see the full picture
I totally agree with the business gentleman. Once one gets close, the next step is the geno of a pure likeness. All is needed is getting close, then it is a done deal.
How about the passenger pigeon or so many other animals humans have annihilated?
It may have worked back then but we have no way whatsoever of knowing how it, other animals and the environment will go. 🇦🇺
Wow!! This is wild.I think there are frankenstien animals running around out there that have escaped,then survived the wild.Against all odds.
Maybe stop calling thylacines “tigers”
The naysayers in this video remind me of all the "purists" who opposed capturing California Condors in the wild and breeding them in captivity. These "true-lovers-of-nature" argued that the condors should just be allowed to go extinct. The people who genuinely cared about the condors ignored them and launched a captive breeding programme that rescued these birds that had been in the Americas for millions of years. Today, despite some recent losses to avian flu, there are flocks of California Condors' soaring in the skies in California, Mexico and the Grand Canyon, and they are magnificent!
Somewhere out in the vast and unexplored wilderness that is Tasmania i hope there are still some survivors.perhaps they changed their habits and hid away from man.many sightings must mean something.
Or they're just lies which I think is more likely. Ever seen Big Foot or Nessie or a Kappa?
@@AchillesSeverus It's all made up to get gullable tourists to visit. Any pic taken that is blurry is fake. The Nessie was a toy submarine with a Dinosaur head glued to it. The man that took the pic admitted it on his death bed. And Bigfoot is also fake it was a guy in a suit.
So prehistoric looking!!! AMAZING! 💖💖💖 Sure would never expect that animal to be a marsupial!!! WOW!
It's not prehistoric tho, it's a modern day animal, which makes its extinction worse because it was supposed to be alive today if it wasn't for humans. It went extinct in 1938., so less than 100 years ago.
I don't think it would really be bringing it back as opposed to a hybrid type animal, like a cross between a thylacine and whatever its placed in.
Its a step forward bro
I wouldn't be surprised if they've kept hidden in the large wilderness of Tasmania. I hope this mystery is solved in favour of the tiger.
They lived in open areas. That makes it hard for them to hide that long and successfully.
WAke up! They were all hunted til there were non left. There was nowhere for them to hide
If the camera is too high. Lower it.
I hope they can bring it back to life jurassic park style, but I think the real problem once released into the wild, is that it would be so valuable that poachers would just hunt it to extinction again because ppl are wankers.
Sad but true
Shoot to kill poachers on sight……no mercy.
One can hope, would love to see it happen
Is it possible that there are Tasmanian tigers like this in Thailand? I lived in Isan, near the Cambodian border, for over 20 years. One day the locals came to my house in a line, like a hunt. And suddenly an animal that looks so similar to this Tasmanian tiger ran towards me. The locals screamed; stop him, I replied, no, I won't, because I saw the fear of death in the eyes of this beautiful animal. It looked at me for a moment and ran past me through my large garden.
I later found out that the locals had caught the animal after all.
Can I preorder one now??? Excellent value !!!
Gotta love the guy it's impossible don't waste the effort. In the same breath starts mentioning animals he clearly wants to do first. Would their efforts have been put down by him if they started with one he wants. It sure sounds like he would have a different attitude in that scenario.
15:40 Of course, there won't be any animals released in the next 10 years. The initial generation is quite expensive, and the first generations will primarily be part of breeding programs in zoos. Perhaps, after many years, some of the first animals may eventually be released into the wild.
They became exstinct for a reason. I think that's the way nature intended. We know dinosaurs used to live here but hopefully no one thinks we should bring them back. The science is interesting but not realistic..
Exactly it's playing god and what if the half living experiments that have horrible health issues end up crying in horrible pain after "being born "💀
Awareness always comes when it's too late.. Will we ever learn? "I'm afraid not". But this would be amazing for science if and when they succeed. We only already should start thinkin' about the consequences bringing ém back, will have.. Here in the Netherlands we reintroduced the European Wolf, and with it came a lotta problems for our farmers.
Maybe, but we were the ones who compromised the balance of nature with human progress. There are ways to discourage wolves to keep away from livestock. In the States, they reintroduced wolves to Yellowstone National Park and the restoration to the flora and fauna of the park is priceless.
@@LittlePixieBot In The Netherlands being such a small country, we now have these Wolves wandering thru the streets in towns..

There is hope, it was thought that Puma concolor couguar was extirpated in Ontario but more and more sightings have been confirmed.
The dinosaurs went extinct because of a natural disaster but humans killed off the Tasmanian Tiger. Human interference should be addressed first when resurrecting a species.
Imagine restoring a species back to life while on the brink of nuclear war, these people are amazing.
Asking a bunch of guys swigging beer if they saw the Tiger, is not very credible! lol
After 4000 years, the tasmanian devil...
Still hasn't been resurrected. RIP.
They reckon a Dunnart is its closes relative so they going to try to impregnate the Dunnart and remove when rice size, good idea if it works.
Step one should be stop exterminating other species.
Wouldn't you only be able to bring back; at best, a Halfbreed?
Poor thylacine to die of neglect and exposure what a terrible tragedy if indeed some survived I hope they stay hidden
At the 0:55 mark when the guy says "to do something that is unfeasible" is NOT A GIVEN! It will not be a freak show. It will be the human race righting a wrong we imposed on one of God's creatures. How can that be a bad thing? Losing the Tasmanian Tiger was a loss for our planet. Giving it back is nothing more than putting things right!
there's a big difference knowledge wise between a Museum Curator and a real Scientist.. i stand with science
Also this episode I saw a year or more ago this is not 4 days old. How many times have you reuploaded all your episodes as new over and over again?
They have been talking about this for decades
if the Tasmanian Tiger is alive somewhere there then why create a genetically modified Thylacemin which might do more harm to Ecosystem.
There are no confirmed sightings. Although i personally believe that it is still alive in either deep tassie bush or papua.
They are sighted out in the bush, the people who know they are there just do not talk about them because more people will come and try to capture/kill them.
I feel like they just talk the talk to get sponsors to support their interests in further development of the tech with giving us hope that they themselves don't know if they can complete
It is alive, it is known as Chupacabra around the world.
😂😂😂😂
In 50 years you can see dinosaurs 😮
The thing that would concern me is, would they have a natural instinct if they were created from a completely different animal?
Please bring back
a few got sent to the London zoo but no one knows when they died, 1931 I guess. if they are brought back to like can they be tamed to eat the rabbit in Austrailia?
I hope too, good luck 😀
Great V~log Miller, looking forward to more in Tassie. 🤍
for around 10 years wolf was seen in Denmark before the proof was heavy enough that the state recognized it, pictures was not enough for the biologists only when a dead wolf was found -science recognized it as a fact.
Are they going to resurrect the native bipeds of Tasmania? Now that would be a milestone for self-proclaimed Australians.
The Tiger was not such a parasitic pest so no
Parasites are those that extinguished both tasmanian people and tasmanian tigers in less a century. They need being reeducated in the best case.
Its been sooo many years..yet there ain't no cloned Wooly Mammoth or Thylacine!
All seemed too late..and lost forever!
Thylacine was a strange creature, certainly stranger than most Australian mammals. When you look at it it indeed appears to be a work in progress and one with a rather long way to go before being perfected. Half dog, half kangaroo and a bit of crocodile for good measure. This strange chimera was nonetheless I expect still perfectly adapted (ironically) for survival as a species until we came along. "The Thylacine was critical in balancing the ecosystem" I seriously doubt they did more than the motor car does today to keep species in check or even healthy. From what I've seen on Tasmania road kill will pretty much wipe out everything alive, young old, infirm or healthy. Thylacine wouldn't have stood a chance even if it had survived persecution.
Coyotes live very near humans and are rarely killed by automobiles. There would be some hope.
Various predator re-introduction efforts are showing how critical predation is as human hunting wanes.
@@BHShaman Yes they are important in any ecosystem. Coyotes are an entirely different species that have been persecuted for a long time, they have adapted and survived. I've seen a few myself just trotting up a ditch or vanishing over the horizon. it would be nice to think but I'm not sure Thylacin had the same smarts as a canine like a Coyote. Thylacine went extinct on the Mainland Australia, Tasmania and Papua. By comparison if thats even possible he Cayote has survived persecution pretty well. One of It's closest living realtives the Tasmanian Devil is unfortunately threatened with obliteration, the biggest threat is road kill, not only do they become it they scavenge on road kill putting themselves directly in harms way, Thylacine was most likely also part scavenger.
It's just a wild dog with some stripes. 😂
