We can only HOPE! 🤞

My brother in law was regional ranger for northern Tasmania. One Christmas in 1983/4 a highly agitated ranger came to his house and discussed a series of thylacine sightings in a region described as 'horizontal scrub' country. My brother in law later disclosed that the government already was aware of sightings and evidence and had, interestingly, banned flyovers over the 'horizontal scrub country' towards the west of Tassie. Banning flyovers was to reduce disturbance and reduce likelihood of animals being exposed as there are so few of them. The horizontal scrub leaves room free up to under a metre making it impossible for humans to traverse but a highway for short animals. Like tigers. Apparently exposing the tigers in a planned way was being spoken of at the executive level. He's dead now but was always dismissive of extinction of tigers.

Horizontal Scrub - just like the Tea Tree forests in Gippsland. You could get lost for days in them, but as you say easy for anything under 3-4ft to pass through at speed. Thanks for the comment as I've always believed that the government know they are still around.

Iv never told anyone this thinking no one would believe but in early 2019 driving through a cut out road on hill in-between Derwent bridge and Queenstown @2am a Tasmanian tiger jumped from the top of the hill down onto the road in front of the car then run off. Before I explained what I seen I asked my partner "did you see that" and she said yes, I then asked her "what did you just see" and she told me it was like a dog with strips running down its back to its tail like a tassie tiger, I was mind blown becuase that's exactly what I seen but to I instantly recognised it as a Tasmanian tiger. They are definitely still out there, I would look around that part of tasmania

If your car has a in board video camera it can be verified. Did you notify the authorities as to where it was heading this can Give a search crow as to where it is all animals are territorial they dont venture to far ,they can draw out a radius of about 2 miles

Yes I saw one around that area as well. I was driving and saw a dog with strips on his rear end and the tail was straight and pointy not like a normal dog. And went behind the bushes. At that time I didn’t know what it was until I found these videos on KZread.

ok but why do we want to capture one??? LEAVE THEM ALONE, we are the main reason on why they went extinct in the first place!

That landscape is so amazing. Absolutely beautiful. Wonderful video.

I’m glad you left the mystery hanging, Miller. A fine episode and very enjoyable. Your passion continues to shine thru. I’ll be supporting you all I can.

Hey Miller, I just wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the work you do. I still believe that Tasmanian tigers aren't extinct; they're just really good at hiding and are probably terrified of humans. It seems like there are a lot of similar animals in Papua New Guinea and other places you've covered, so there might still be a small population out there. I hope your efforts in documenting them will bring them back into the spotlight. I truly appreciate you for what you do. On another note, I have a guy from Australia at my college in Florida who's also a big fan of yours. He grew up in the same area as you did and is always talking about Tassie tigers. He really admires your efforts and enjoys your videos. Also, my family loves you too, by the way! Take care!

I hope so! Keep doing what you're doing. We need to realize how special and important the living things are on our planet.

James, I don't wish to be rude, but try to use full words and sentences in your online messages.

Employers also check the social media of their potential workers and it strongly influences their hiring decisions. Not being mean, I'm just trying to help mate 👍

Fascinating! Looking forward to seeing your Future Adventures! Though a Yank in the wilds of South Dakota, I have always been intrigued by the Thylacine-- and hoping they are still there in Australia.

Hi miller I love the Tasmania tiger content you videos are epic ❤

So cool Miller 😊

man i just got lost in the beauty of it all after you guys caught that cray. what an astonishingly beautiful place. Great video mate cheers

If they turn up at all, it'll probably be in an environment thats the polar opposite to their usual. Situations can force radical changes in animal behaviour, especially if the animal can adapt in their food needs. I wish u luck Miller. Edinburgh,Scotland 🙏🏼

Excellent as always mate, be patient and you will find them one Day 👍

You're absolutely right about keeping it secret. I'm from Perth & just watching these videos is awesome enough, like an amazing camping trip. Tasmania is beautiful and I can't wait to travel there.

Totally absorbing and well thought out episode,succeeded in telling a great story, great job miller Ps must have been a bit nippy chasing the crays without a wettie 😮

Hi Miller Wilson It's a very good video, interesting, magical, and informative.💚🌳❤🥰FC Thailand

If you study the animals on your trail cam . they know the camera is there and are wary of it. The Thylacine was almost hunted to extinction. Those that survived have learned to stay clear of man. Some camoflarge might be helpful.

I’m a hunter, and I love animals, I’m very glad to know that someone else has hope that these animals still walk with us. My hope is that we can nurture these animals comebacks, so when they have a healthy population, I can hunt one! And then my children can experience it too! And know that we live in a beautiful ecosystem with all the animals that are supposed to be in it.

About the Zanzibar Leopard,no,it wasn't rediscovered. Animal planet didn't release the location of where they filmed the leopard and so there is no way to tell its an actual zanzibar Leopard. It could just be a feral mainland leopard,if filmed in Zanzibar at all.

Yeah Miller me Nancy my wife Stephanie really enjoyed this episode the scenery was so good love the ocean love your blue truck😊😊

If by some miracle there was a small population of these Tigers surviving in the wild, it would be difficult to know just exactly what to do! Maybe just keep them a secret, as you suggested? Or perhaps capture a male and female and try to breed them in captivity, and help to nurture and raise some in a most healthy environment, to re-populate and re-introduce them back into the wild? A very delicate matter of just how to go forward! Anyways, good luck with any future searching! 👍

@damaslpressath

2 ай бұрын

you can hold it in secret and let them live last of its days....because there is no hope of an increasing population. Those animals maybe live like most mamals maybe not more than a decade and should interbreed with at least 300 of its own kind to avoid incest/interbreed. There must have been hundreds of them living in the wild since the last was seen alive . If there is some still alive, it must be found a way to get many different genetics which must be somehow introduced into a eggcell or whatever, or put the last one or last ones into fridge after dying to use its genetics when we have more advanced technologies, and implant in other species or breed it artificcial? So there is not a really hope, even if there will be found 10 of them roaming free there. But it is not a bad thing to keep on remembering the people in which ferocity and greed we eliminate our biutyfull nature ;) and make people think or hope to reencounter such a fantastic creature.

Unfortunately we would have to capture all of them, it goes against my belief that animals belong in the wild, but we have to create as big of a breeding program as possible.

So they put a single male and female in captivity to breed and then what? Get the Joey's inbreeding? That's not going to go work, you need genetic diversity to produce healthy individuals. It would be the worst thing to do to remove them from the wil, at least until they have clear confirmation of how many are still surviving

@@GlennHird-gb4ug If you’re talking about the individual tigers yes, they just wouldn’t really have their freedom anymore. If you’re talking about the species maybe it really depends on they’re breeding behaviour.

sure tasty the southern rock lobster, but maybe also interesting for your next excursion:there is the endangered but still existing species in Tasmania: the biggest freshwater greyfish on earth, the giant tasmanian greyfish (up to 80 cm long!) which lives in creeks in the northwest of the island. People are nowadays renaturalizing some creeks to ensure their survival in the future. Maybe good to know, that also these animals are on the brink of extinction by overhunting and agriculture/river straightening among other things. ;)

Love your work. Love your intuition and studying. But maybe you could look in Gippsland Victoria the area around the Gippsland Lakes on the ocean side has a lot of sightings and an easier area to search for tracks in the sand they were known to be partial to water birds

I do understand why a lot of people wouldn't want it known if these animals were still alive, but on the other hand, if it could be shown that protecting wild places was the reason for their continued survival then it might have more of an effect to share that story. Great video Miller!

as soon as you release evidence of a live thylacine poachers will swarm and destroy everything to get one. a live or even dead one would fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars. Its never worth it.

Forest galante has entered the chat

I think you made a great decision leaving it a mystery. I hope you did find one but with the adventure you had trying to find it, I’m sure you’re happy either way 👍

At 21:38, you said: "Now, believe it or not, after putting these videos out there online, I've received hundreds of messages from people who have supposedly seen these Thylacines out there in the wild, which is really interesting. Some stories I've been told to keep quiet about. I've come to the conclusion that putting it [??] on the Internet would not be the best thing for this species' survival in the long run. Tassy's a pretty wild place and some things are just best kept secret." It is unclear if by "it" you just meant those stories you've been told, or if you meant that you would keep secret any confirmed sighting of a Thylacine, including one you might make yourself? I think you should clarify that. Sounds like you might have been deliberately cryptic, perhaps to create an impression with viewers that you may in fact know of a confirmed sighting. The notion of a 'keep secret' policy is appealing to some, since it increases in their minds the possibility that Thylacines do actually exist. But if a tiny remnant was in fact discovered, there is little doubt that revealing its existence to authorities would maximize its chances of survival, since many resources (including security) would quickly be mobilized to help them, similar (but greater) as has been done with the Tasmanian devil with its "insurance population" (7:20). A 'keep secret' policy would also render your series here pretty much pointless.

That’s so so COOL

good video but god damn. it has the same mic problema as the last one has xD ty for the vid as always

Hi Miller, thanks for another awesome video, absolutely gorgeous scenery! Not going to be mad if you find the Tassie tiger and don't share it with us. I understand there's good reason.

Hello Miller watching from western New York

There's been heaps of sightings on the main land right up to today

Call yourself an animal lover, you showed your true colours to that crayfish.

Never Noticed that Tasmanian Devils are just Large Rats.

I love that credible account from 1982! . Interesting about animals using highways because they're easier to travel on. The exact same thing happens here in Yellowstone Park -- the bison gather in herds and walk on the roads through the thickly forested areas to get to the next meadow, causing big traffic backups, sometimes for many miles. . Your line: "I was just walking up this river....Because no one comes out here".... Yes! Places where no one goes are the best places! . Love the quick-footed Tasmanian Devil on the rocks in the stream. . Wild Tasmania is amazing! Such unusual landscapes and awesome footage. And the roar of those waves! . The crayfish -- sustainable and sure looked delicious. . WOW... I love the fact you were in the midst of history at those middens! The coast of southern California near Malibu also has several shell middens from the Chumash Peoples (who still exist), some middens going back thousands of years. I've seen some of those middens and was in awe. So thanks for sharing info about such history in Tasmania too 🙏🏼 . I'm glad you got so many reports from people about thylacine sightings, and I'm glad you've gotten so much support in general over the years Miller; you and your mates have earned everyone's respect. And your doing Patreon is a great idea -- mutually beneficial for everyone, as well as ultimately for Mama Earth. . Anyway what an expedition and excellent video!
