Thylacine in Victoria

It looks like this guy has got a good shot of a supposedly extinct species doing its thing with a pack of Joeys . It Certainly looks like he has a got the real thing even though its been taken in infra red on a grassland clearing. There have been a few sightings over the years but this one looks like a young one lolloping along looking for small game. The last one was supposed to have died in a zoo in Tasmania back in the middle of the last century.

Here’s hoping!

That’d be some much needed great news!

“Life finds a way.”

Thats pretty cool remember reading about Thylacine in the 70s and some researchers then were sure they were some left, 50 years later vindicated

It would be very amazing if the Tasmanian Tiger was still alive 🐯

I remember someone got what they thought was a Thylacine on video about 5-10 years ago and the video was very interesting indeed.

This sighting reminds me of the sighting that Stacy Brown Jr and his father, Stacy Brown Sr got of the Skunk Ape in the Florida swamps many years ago. The Skink Ape that Stacy Brown seen was also shot on thermal and looked exactly like a Bigfoot with its long arms and coned shaped head

He has a thylacine buts spouts not seen in over 2,000 years. He’s definately wrong there.

The last known thylacine died in captivity at the Hobart Zoo in Tasmania on Sept. 7, 1936. It is one of the few animal species for which an exact date of extinction is known

I think he was talking about on the mainland and not Tasmania. But..how would anyone known that it hasn't been seen on the mainland/continent for, what, 2000 years.

There are some vids and recordings going about, from the mainland, but I hesitate to say they are real.

I do wish the Thylacine was still alive.

Kind regards,

That is just a quoll running funny because one of its back legs is injured

Not quite a tiger, though it often referred to as a native cat

You can see one of the back legs doesn't move or touch the ground when zoomed in. It holds it up and hobbles on the other leg because it is injured

Quolls are fairly elusive creatures, but not completely uncommon in Victoria

The spotted-tail quoll, otherwise known as THE TIGER QUOLL

Well I knew it wasn’t a Tassy Tiger, then I saw your post and was gonna say there’s no Quolls in Victoria.

But damn guess there is, learn something new everyday.

I feel like the Thylacine is probably extinct now. I think it was probably still hanging on til even up to the late 70’s or early 80’s. Farmers were almost definitely still shooting them long after 1936 as well, which is absolutely disgraceful.

Love to be proven wrong though, fascinating animal… even though we know next to nothing about them.

Good pic but the tail is as long as the body on that one. The supposed Thylacine shot is a lot shorter.

Watch the video from 2:55

Look when it passes in front of the Kangaroo

That is a very long Quoll-like tail, because that is a Quoll

Not trying to rain on your parade. I hope the Thylacine still exists too

From my own research a few years back, I believe there is a chance it could still be found in a very particular part of Tasmanias South-East coast

... But the animal in that video is a Quoll

An endangered and beautiful creature. But not a Thylacine

Ok you raised a good question mark, its a shame like most of the other crypto shots.It wasn't in full daylight etc. but that's the nature of the beast.

The creature in the vid has considerably longer legs than a quoll. The size is hard to judge, but quoll are short-legged; it's a notable feature for them. When it is bounding through the grass, you can see how long the legs are in the zoomed portion of the vid.

A Fox with mange was my first guess. Does have Quell like face though.
