Yowie Researcher Trail Cam takes picture of extinct Marsupial Tiger?

Picture of and Australian Red Fox.



Between the front legs, you can see how it is quite narrow in stance. You can see how it is narrow across the front haunches.

The pic this thread is about has neither of these traits.

Because its a different fox.... The one in our image could be a 4yr old fat dog fox and the one in yours could be a 7month old slim vixen. There was a thread here a few months ago that showed a rather large dog fox caught and unfortunately killed next to another unfortunately dead fox and the two were poles apart in size. The point I'm trying to make is that people have got it in their heads that a fox is a certain shape and there are no variants but there are.

Here is an image from the article, not an image I like to see but it shows the differences in size etc that can be seen.

Yes She has.
Thats why she stated, as i have.
IT AINT A FOX

I'm in Australia. It is an Australian fox simple as, you can see the nose it is white coloured. The ears are balack like foxes and it has black socks. exactly like a fox.

The Tasmanian Tiger, had an even smaller width to its stance then a fox. Its hind legs were very skinny. It also had tiger stripes on its rear, like a tiger, hence the name. There are no stripes on this fox.

The Tasmanian Tiger is out there, just this is a fox.

Good stuff.

That's a fox alright.

The only thing is that it seems to have longer legs than a normal fox.

Yeah, red fox, considered a pest in Aus, as was the thylacine, which is part of the reason it is now extinct.
By the way, a thylacine, although called tasmanian tiger is not related to tigers, that was just the name given for the dark stripy pattern.

or this one ?

Frankly, it doesn't look anything like the films of the Marsupial Tiger which exist from the last one in captivity either.

Geez mate it looks like you went searching for that skinny little female pup, that's not what the average aussie fox looks like at all.

Here is the description of your picture from australia zoo

Sex: Female

Our gorgeous little Kit has a narrow face and is slight of build.

She was found on a Gold Coast golf course where her den was dug up as renovations were taking place. An animal hospital took her in and tended to her until she was given a permanent place to live here at Australia Zoo in October 2000.

She often likes to sit on rocks and watch the world go by.

Pics of little pups in hospital just aint really representative of the average fox imo.

Here are some more pics of Australian foxes

Look a little closer, grass in the foreground is covering the end of its snout. It's hard to see at first just how much it is actually covering due to the lack of color depth and fuzzy quality meaning some foreground grass could be confused for ground you'll see that the snout length cannot really be known from this picture.

Yeah to me it looks like that too. The part that makes it look like a shortened snout is that shadow. It makes it look like a nose is there, if you look long enough, you can see that it is a clump of grass in the way.

No it dosen't look like a smear in the shot to me.
And you wont convert me with a fake nose.
SO, IT aint a fox.
