He has lied and mislead his viewers before. The animals that he "discovered", that were thought to be extinct(leopard and caiman), had already been discovered to exist before. In the leopard's case, many renowned scientists never considered the Zanzibar leopard a subspecies to begin with. The caiman had already be discovered to not be extinct by a Colombian scientist, years before Galante and his crew went there. He went on a quest to find an animal that was already known to exist. He has also been known to use the footage of other peoples' previous expeditions as his own. Once you've been proven to do this, how can you trust that any of his footage is genuine? And the thylacines in New Guinea, and mainland Australia...died out THOUSANDS of years before the ones in Tasmania did. The Tasmanian thylacine only persisted into modern times because of it's isolation on the island. It did not have to compete with dogs and pigs, that humans brought along with them during their expansion to these regions.

And the leader of that expedition didn't have his findings published until Dec 5 2019, coincidentally the day after that episode aired. And even then Galante acknowledged him later. I'm willing to believe Galante is an attention hog, but producers making stuff up is a lot more likely. Maybe it's a mix of both.

@@AlbatrossRevenue 1. The caiman was NEVER thought to be extinct in the first place. Sergio Balaguera-Reina, the Colombian scientist, specifically says this. He also said that the political climate of Colombia(civil unrest/drug wars) had previously prevented expeditions from going into these areas, and looking for the caiman. Once Sergio Balaguera-Reina, "rediscovered" the caiman, his findings were definitely documented and known, because Galante(like you said) CLEARLY knew about them. 2. Whether it's the show runners, or Galante being deceptive about Galante actually finding the caiman, it's still a lie and it's still deception. Galante is the face and main character of the show, so it's his name that gets the credit, and his name that gets the blame for lying to the public. It's no different than Bear Grylls, lying to the public about his show. You remember...saying he was roughing it in the wilderness, when he was staying in hotel rooms and getting food catered to him. Galante went in search of an animal that was not thought to be extinct, was already discovered to be alive and well by another scientist...and still played it off like he found an extinct animal.

My father was in the services during the war - Royal Engineers. Just after the war, in 1946, he visited Tasmania with some pals, and whilst there, he and his pals came across a strange creature like a young Joey - but definitely NOT a Kangaroo.. It was like a Kangaroo and a dog with teeth. They had no idea what it was, and it had a parent hovering nearby, which looked like a dog. It was only decades later that he even knew what a Thylacine was - and then he confirmed, 100%, that that was what they had seen.

This story corroborates a story that was widely circulated fifteen years or so ago, about Thylacines found or known to exist among the people of the Irian Jaya side of New Guinea. The thing to remember is that PNG has marsupial mammals and monatremes like Australia, but different species. There were a number of Thylacines species in the genus so perhaps the one in PNG are not the same as the ones in Australia. Papua New Guineans like to keep wild animals, including possums, cassawari's various wallabies, birds etc for what reason l don't exactly know, but do know they wear their pelts and feathers and make stew out of them to.

New Guinea doesn’t have sub tropical rainforests but has montane rainforest with a alpine climate which are similar to subtropical forest and climate of Tasmania. In the highest regions of New Guinea occasional snow does occur such as on MT Whilem, Giluwe and on the highest mountain in Oceania Puncak Jaya where the last glaciers in South Pacific exist.

Did the jawbone have a hook facing inwards on the shelf? Did the two vertical protruding bones have a sharp point as opposed to the rounded of the familiar? If you had the skull you check the zygomatic arch where on the tiger the jugal and squamosal bones extend all the way from the lachrymal to the glenoid fossa as opposed to stopping half way in the familiar. The nasal bones of the tiger are straight to the skull but the familiar is tapered and stop around the centre between the eye sockets. I believe you Forrest and would love a year long expedition doing everything to find these beasts.

As much as I'd love to believe there's still a population hidden in the deepest recesses of Tasmania, I just find it too implausible by half. I've seen the handful of videos purported to have captured a thylacine, and while the handful I've seen did look remarkably thylacine-like, much more than they looked like dogs, it's just so sparse it's very hard to believe it's not something else - especially considering those videos were from the mainland, IIRC. Any population that could hypothetically be alive would have to be so small, it just wouldn't be sustainable. There'd have to be so few individuals, they'd have no option but to interbreed, and that's not a great survival strategy. Any population with sufficient genetic diversity would also contain enough individuals that surely they'd have been discovered at some point. A holdout population in Tasmania is more plausible... and inbreeding hasn't killed the Tasmanians yet, so who knows, maybe the thylacines have managed to get away with it as well! 😆😆

@@TJ-um8ce OK TJ, it had a pug sort of head, & fur like skin. - That's all he told me, but in Nexus magazine a man in Papua New Guinea a man was asking anyone for help to photograph another type of Bird? that came out of the ocean there & freaked him out. A third story, not a bird this time, but a 2ft. tall being that had 3 claws & slashed the leg of a man in Sulawesi, Indonesia on a trek to find a suitable place to put a Radio antennae up. A Canadian was the person they asked to help with finding a suitable place. The natives said "don't wear anything Yellow"? The native who was slashed was wearing Yellow sox. The natives don't know what it is, but it looks Human. This interview was aired on the Art Bell show in the United States.

there are 4 foot winged-possums native to Lismore and Grafton that fly between the two town in a matter of minutes. They are some sort of sugar glider that the aboriginals used to feed on in the 1800's. Their fur is used for slingshot and keeping warm when trekking up mt warning when it was 486m higher than it is today.

I have a wild born brindle tropical dingo orphan and a little known fact is 14% of pure dingoes in the wild are brindle with distinctive black stripes. Because tropical and desert dingoes have long straight thin tails unlike the better known alpine dingoes almost all sightings on the mainland are of brindle dingoes. Also tropical dingoes have a longer more narrow skull very similar in appearance to a thylacine skull. Singing dogs look almost identical to alpine dingoes where as desert and tropical dingoes look similar to South East Asian dog with shorter fur and more slender bodies than alpines. Hate to sound sceptical, but I bloody hope this one wasn't a brindle Asian wild dog. Might be a good idea to try and find out if the tail was permanently straight and stiff or in different positions. Ask if it wagged it's tail at all, that will tell you straight away if it's a dog or not.

Interesting stuff Red Dog. May I ask what kind of pet the tropical dingo is? Suffice to say if you ever did a video of him/her I'd tune in to see it.

@@richardk6196 Tropical Dingoes are from the Kimberly's through to the top of NT, very similar to desert or Pilbara Dingoes. He was found with two brothers after his parents were baited in NT. Because Dingoes are wild and have never been domesticated they are definitely not recommended recommended for anyone wanting a pet. Especially a wild born orphan who's parents were baited. They never will be and will always remain independent, never allowing themselves to be owned. But if you are prepared for months of patience and dedication to gain their trust you will never have a more genuine and devoted companion for life. I put posts of his progress on my red heelers Instagram @zalireddog.

I never knew the Tasmanian tiger was found anywhere else besides Australia. So in Papua New Guinea , almost 2, ooo miles away. That is very fascinating to me.

Back in 2001 my wife and I took the kids on a trip to Tasmania. While on the road between Strahan and Queenstown on the west coast, both my wife and I clearly saw a large dog like animal come out of the bush, cross the road and, with one leap, climb up the embankment (at least 2 - 2.5 metres high) on the other side. Unfortunately, it was too far away & too quick to get a detailed look but, the animal in question was too big to be a feral cat or dog. Until my dying day, I'm convinced that what we saw was a Thylacine. True story.

they could easily still be around...seeing as some video footage from 1973 of a supposed thylacine has since been proven that it definitely was a thylacine in the video so they were most certainly still around 40 years after thought to be exist, i think the video was filmed in south australia, you probably already know the video im talking about.

We gotta go there and check!

This is the closes to us finding a Thylo. We've been lied to a lot of times. But if this turns out to be true. In Papua New Guinea of all places. Mad.

What an absolute carry on!

You got to go bro 💯

Cool, I remember that they found a new species of Leopard in Borneo a couple of years ago so I guess it's possible.

Can we have the photo of the lower jaw. Because you can distinguish the different tooth numbers to compare against dogs. Thylacine need to have 4 molars and 3 premolars, whereas dogs will generally have a different count than this. Usually 3 molars and 4 premolars. Also a large dog will posses a prominent specialised carnassial tooth on the lower jaw (seen as a larger molar for slicing) whereas thylacine do not. If you have the top of the skull, thylacine have two holes in the roof of the mouth, whereas canids do not. If you have a photo of the lower jaw at least, this should allow you to actually determine whether or not it is actually at thylacine.

it could be from a tree kangaroo

Brilliant news

It sounds like Thylocenes are still with us. If there was a place they still existed, Papua New Guinea would be the perfect place.

The Tasmanian Tiger is the closest thing to a legendary pokemon as were going to get

WHERE IS THE PICTURE?????????

It’s funny that only the lower jaw is identifiable.. when you need the upper portion to determine If it is.. hmmm 🤔 I’m pretty sure the skulls are the same as the dingo, canine. The only way to distinguish the difference is the two holes in the upper back jaw area. They use this as a test in school as the last test to see if students will catch the difference and correctly identify the wolf etc..

Even more fascinating is it was domesticated to some extent

This is the guy who has the locals find the animal they said was always there and he gets credit for "rediscovering" them
