Is the Tasmanian Tiger STILL Alive?

Mining in Australia is probably our biggest industry, the country is practically ran by mining corporations and building contractors (foreign and domestic)… I wouldn’t put it past these corporations to try some shady stuff if billions are on the table

Humans: stop killing our sheep or we'll kill you!
Thylacine: Fine we'll stay as far away from you people as possible.
Humans: No! Wait! Are you still there?!
I think if they're still alive leave them alone....

The photo where they tried to show the paw prints didn't look like one. The other two photos you could explain the stripes with the tall grass casting shadows. I looked at the photos on daily mail.

Australien goverment declared the thylacine extinct 1982 - the same Goverment paid

As early as 1830 bounty systems for the thylacine had been established, with farm owners pooling money to pay for skins. In 1888 the Tasmanian Government also introduced a bounty of £1 per full-grown animal and 10 shillings per juvenile animal destroyed. The program extended until 1909 and resulted in the awarding of more than 2,180 bounties.

imagine they clone it and the momment they try to release it they see a wild one pass by

forrest galante is a much better source of information than waters.

Out of all the extinct animals a part of me feels like these could still be around even if the population is less than 100

Hoo boy, don't get gaming beaver started. Love it, though.

I hope it works and they can bring one or two back so they can mate

It's still alive. I don't care what anyone says - I've seen one in Perth. Friends have seen them. Apparently, even when they were in their hey day, they were hardly seen by anyone... and besides, did they turn over every rock in Australia before they declared them extinct?

If the Tasmanian tiger is alive. LEAVE IT ALONE , LET IT LIVE FREE

Here’s the problem with the “the government sent me to hunt it” conspiracy allegations. If there were one Thylacine out there after all this time, then it almost certainly means there would be a small breeding population of at least dozens, if not hundreds. In fact, this is an issue with cryptozoology in general. Because most large mammals don’t live more than 30-50 years (big fish and reptiles may live longer), the reports of a single or few isolated animals become nearly impossible after several decades from the reported extinction. Either there’s a breeding population, or there just aren’t any at all. Or at the very least, there was a breeding population well after the reported extinction, so it’s likely they would have been found back then. Point being, just killing one animal isn’t going to take care of the issue.

Are they nocturnal? If so, wouldn’t their heat show up on sophisticated night cameras. Probably a stupid question but I haven’t seen anything like that being tried.😊

Thylacine being a mammal and moves a lot and no cameras have been able to catch a thylacine with any good footage makes it close to impossible

Theres people out there that hope its still alive so they can kill it and sell it or just say i killed the last one...discusting

Title Answer: NO. No genetic proof. No fresh tracks, hair, scat or anything else that would guarantee an extant specimen or breeding group currently exists. Stop praying & pretending!

Bro,i hope theyre actually back,plus,we shpuld talk about tigers too,theyre being killed only to being selled their parts to black markets,i dont understand who would do that.

Nature does what it wants…

You didn't see the thylacine, you saw my mother-in-law😂

No extinct animal turning up not-extinct would bring me more joy that the Thylacine, but I'am pretty sure it is gone for good.

I believe locals have seen them but won't say anything to protect them

Like Hans Naarding could not lie or make a mistake... Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

Its extinct, these guys are a bunch of useless amateurs looking at the same old clips of dubious film over and again ? Nothing but hoaxes and dodgy film or made-up paw-prints. Australians have also reported sightings of no-less than Megalania, a Marsupial Lion , and the Yowie (Bigfoot} so i take these Thylacine sightings as pure baloney???

I have nothing to do with this animal, and I don't even live in the same country, but it still makes me angry and sad to know how that poor animal spent his last moments on this planet. He deserved so much better. I'm so sorry they failed you, and more so that it was rumored to have been done intentionally.

The last tasmanian tiger died in 1936 .

I've been a thylacine fan since I emmigrated to Australia back in 1976 and I've always been desperately hoping that some would be found alive. But a horrible thought just occured to me watching this (hugely interesting) video - if they were hunted to extinction by sheep farmers and other rogues a slack century ago then would they really be that hard to find? Apparently, they managed to track down and kill thousands in the very areas where they seem to be invisible today and they didn't have sophisticated camera traps etc.

Just a (pretty gloomy) thought.

The Thylacine holds a special place in my heart. It was the first time I think I conciously processed what being extinct was, like I knew of dinosaurs and stuff (love Terror Birds) but I remember watching I think either Jeff Corwin or the Kratt Brother's where they made an episode about Tasmania and the Thylacine. I remember I cried alot when I realized there weren't anymore Tasmanian Tigers. I was like 4 at the time.

I really do hope there are some of these fellas still alive in the jungles of Tasmania. It would make me geniunly happy if we could confirm a sighting

Gone

Crap video of a dog.

It still in west papua

I have long hoped for a confirmed sighting, for years I've been looking to find one, but nothing yet, and I think it might just be extinct.

If there any Thylocines in Tasmania the authorities wouldn’t want you to know about it in order to protect the species!

I hope the thylasine us still alive, uf it is it must ve very smart to avoid himas so well.

yeah that loojs like a feamale to me.

Someone needs to bring back Extinct or Alive. It was an awesome idea for a show.

Let me settle this whole thing. It's extinct, gone and it's the fault of humans. Deal with it

Shame of the mankind

They clearly gone

I thought I saw one bounding in a field ,near port vincent sth aust in the early 80s. Certainty not a domestic or wild cat,far too large for that,stripes/gaites,for either,a split second only. No smart phones then.

I have almost 50 consecutive years of primitive archery hunting behind me.
When you see an old picture of Thylacine you see big mouth, I see big nose. That means he is nocturnal and is in your garbage-like a raccoon that can't climb trees to get away.

With the bounty put on Tigers years ago it's extremely possible someone captured a few cubs raised them and either released as young adults or they escaped on main land Australia. It's very common for people to capture wildlife and raise them than they eventually release them or they escape.

No

It is pathetic, how they placed the last member of the species in such a miserable condition.....😢

It's quite possible, I'd say probable that the thylacine survived well past 1936. Unfortunately that doesn't mean that they are still alive today.

I keep getting comments that 1936 isn't thousands of years ago. To be clear I'm saying that the extinction of the thylacine on mainland Australia was thousands of years ago.
