Possible Thylacine York Peninsular, South Australia

Whatever it is. Its front legs are trotting and one back leg is pretty much buggered. So it makes it looks like it is hopping.

It does appear injured I agree. I actually half joked that it could be an injured thylacine. I really was only half joking

For some reason I thought the 1973 video was from the flinders ranges. I must be thinking of another one. There have been some historical sightings in the South East of SA so I have heard.

Hey come on Kryster. You got the big black cat up your ways. Be kind, give the southern cousins something to be excited about other than white sharks.

Seen some pics of your cat. Bit of a mystery much like the Ops animal.

kind regards,

bally

We not only have the Blue Mountains Panther, I also live right in a known Yowie and UFO sighting hotspot

It seems to be hurt on one back leg.

But does it have flapping ears? That's what I see in the video. In some pictures they have short ears, or medium length ones.

No on the flopping ears. It does have a bit of TT silhouette but a dingo looks more likely. Definitely the tail is short like a dog to my point of view. The TT would have a long cat tail as the Roos have some whopper tails. These marsupials are a cool line of animals and I think the Aussies have some cool stuff to see among the outback heat. I get Possoms the Aussies get 'Roos (swap you a one of those small 'Roos for a Raccoon)

good find.

But that is not what is on the OP vid....

Agree with Bally about the speed it up and we got our Taz from Bugs Bunny.

Well aware they not the same and I should be clearer when making posts


I posted the Tassie devil running to show how another native Australian carnivore marsupial moves as it could be similar to a thylacine. Unfortunately what video we do have of Tassie tigers only show them trotting around small cages so we cannot compare to OP's video.

I know it would be totally cool if this is a TT... Must have been a weird place to land for people of English and European decent when Australia was first explored.

a reply to: bally001

Lol you beat me too to it on the TD... That is a cool animation on the for the tiger. Nice find mate! I was under the impression that the TT were extinct for some reason.

a reply to: Grimmley

Thanks mate. I thought the animation of the Tassie Tiger on page 11 (turn the page from 10) of the thread (posted in a reply) that I referred to is very similar to the latest video.

As for a roo mate, no flaming resemblance.

my biggest issue with the notion of thylacines population on the mainland australia in 2017 is - where have they been for 250 years ????

where did they come from

european colonisation of asutralia found ZERO evidence of thylacines anwhere but tasmania - its how it got is " popular " name

it was only later archeology that discovered that the thylacine had once had a mainland habitat

one of the reasons for thylacine extinction on tasmania was - conflict with european agriculture

funny how on one on the mainland saw fit to persecute thylacines

The tiger walks like a wallaby or a kangaroo... It does not walk like a canine. I lived with dogs 43 years. It does look like the video or photo I have seen of the Tasmanian tiger. I am sure that all of them are not dead. The tigers will mate and revive if left alone. Someone once said on the internet that in America when the exotic pets escape or are released in to nature they seek out native mountain lions and mate. So that means some of our Mountain lions have African genes now. The Gob. does want to acknowledge or be responsible for this. People lose live stock to these animals. It would be impossible to track the cats down and remove them. Great video. I would say Tiger. Maybe you can get a financial grant to keep filming in nature.

a reply to: harold223

Interesting. The person that took the video should show it to wildlife experts, and see what they think. The tail seems a bit off, for a dog or a dingo.

a reply to: harold223

That gait doesn't seem natural, more like something that has been injured. The zoomed shots looks very much like a fox, with an afflicted rear leg.

Some more news..
Possible video

a reply to: Blackfinger

Was not even sure what i was supposed to be looking at in most of them shots . Mind you the short video towards the end was interesting . Question is , why are these videos so short .

a reply to: hutch622

I imagine they're short because it's a trail cam with a motion detector, and films short snippets whenever there's movement.

The first bunch of photos I saw nothing, the second looks like the roo they showed earlier.

a reply to: hutch622

Yeah, nah, it was a nice try. Kept trying to look for some stripes but couldn't make the animal out. Maybe they'll get something more convincing in the future.

Kind regards and go the Crows,

The outline is Thylacine and the movement of the hind legs is atypical for any Canids I've ever seen including; foxes, dogs and wolves. I think he filmed a Tasmanian wolf.
