Whatever the truth (and I am highly skeptical) , I think it is totally inaccurate to equate the thylacine with the Loch Ness monster or the yeti. The latter two have never been known to exist whereas the thylacine was around on Tasmania within living human memory. P.S. - Don't let quolls go the same way!

Living in Tassie for years I've heard too many reports of Thylacine sightings from too many honest well known peers to doubt its extinction. My uncle would tell me of a farmer he knew as a boy who had a visiting Thylacine that would come & go that he would feed from time to time apparently the Thylacine would always smell & hear when someone unfamiliar was approaching to visit the farmer & would bolt off into the bush every time minutes before they arrived. I always thought this was pure fantasy an old rural tall tale but then again my uncle wasn't the lying fantasist type so who knows? He also told me that after being hunted to almost extinction the Thylacine has become extremely cautious & wary of humans to the point of steering clear of us or anything that has been covered in our scent & that they now live deep in the inaccessible Huon Valley one of the last untamed area's untouched by humanity.

I believe it still exists. Our country is massive, even in Tasmania, which is half the size of England, there are many places where they could be hiding.

A great book, by Robert Paddle, is well worth reading. Simply called, "The last Tasmanian Tiger". Was written by my science teacher, many years ago. Greetings from Dimboola in Victoria, Australia.

9:27 First time I have picked up on a serious mistake in one of these episodes. The animal has been functionally extinct since the early 20th century, not for "thousands of years". For crying out loud, there is actual film footage of one in a zoo back in 1933.

In the 80s (yep lm old) l was listening to ABC Radio. They were interviewing an old Tasmanian woodcutter,who had one as a pet, if it started pacing the hut, this fella knew someone was coming..he'd put the Billy on & by the time it was starting to boil(8 to 10min), sure enuf some visitor would be walking up his path. My point is, anything that can tell(smell, sense whatever) that someones approaching 8min beforehand, has to be pretty elusive & cunning.

So scientists who declared the Tasmanian Tiger as extinct cannot be wrong? You will be surprised how receliant some animals are, especially predators.

The animal was extinct from the main land for 4,000 years not all together.... They survived on Tasmania up u till the 1930's

If anyone bothered to consult the newspapers of the 19th century they would know how relatively few bounties were ever collected. The hunters honed their craft and learnt to catch them, but at no point in history were they being mowed down like gazelle. By all accounts the creature has always been elusive.

The tiger was most likely in decline on the mainland, with only small population pockets suriviving after settlement. The remaining few would have been poisoned, shot out and died naturally i recon. I grew up in prime tiger country up nth west tassie, and have the belief that they are still there, somewhere. I have read historical first hand accounts of them frequenting the camps of the local blackfealla's, and may have even cohabited with them from time to time. My grandfather was a ganger when the railway was cut through the scrub, ( the 1920s after the 1st ww i think it was), in the far north west of tassie. He would tell me yarns as a kid about how they were very placid, inquisitive and very cautious. They were a lovely animal even though they were very different looking to a dog. He told me they would follow the chuck wagon and after a time would eat meat thrown to them. Dear old Pa said there was nothing vicious about them, but european livestock was very easy pray for them, from chooks n ducks to sheep and young calves. When the bounty was introduced he said yu could earn more for tiger bounty than yu could cuttin wood. In the end they were shot out and exterminated in about 30 years, i read in one book, some 120/30 years in total after first settlement.

The government in Tasmania at the time put the bounty on the tiger's head and they were hunted to extinction. The Indigenous people on the island of Tasmania were also wiped out by government. Some were rounded up and placed on small nearby islands where they died of disease. Ironically. The Tasmania government now uses the tiger as it's official logo.

Love how there’s stuff falling over and being bumped over in almost every shot of the cryptozoologist guys 😂

I remember reading about, and even watching a video about, scientists talking about cloning them. Whatever happened with that? There have been several different animals successfully cloned since at least 1984 that we know for sure about because they’ve been documented. I know they need genetic materials in order to do it, but I’m pretty sure I also read about them having at least some thylacine fetuses that were frozen, obviously, for preservation. If I recall, though, I think most of the successful clones that have been made were all incubated and grown inside another living animal of the same species, so not sure if it’s possible to clone animals without at least having one of the same species alive still to put the cells in to allow the cells to grow. It’d be pretty cool if it were possible. It’s a slippery slope, though, and humans would probably ruin it and abuse it if it were possible, but think of all the endangered populations we could possibly save and bring back from the brink of extinction.

I have heard different reports where the DNA was damaged or not in good enough cleanliness to be cloned. I think they have to merge different samples where they can get an intact one.

Been studying the TT For years, quite strictly for the past 3. Like most I really do hope they are alive somewhere, however looking at the whole situation unbiased and taking into account all the facts it really doesn’t seem possible. For me the biggest obstacles to get over are: No real proof since the last one died in captivity. Even if a small group did make it past 1936 when the last one in captivity died (I firmly believe a few did) for a species to survive the 50/500 rule states that at least 50 individuals is needed to stop inbreeding and 500 individuals is needed to reduce genetic drift. That’s a lot thylacines that have somehow gone undetected and the small group would of died out anyway. Even if your talking about 1982 (when they were officially declared extinct) that was 40 years ago and a TT life span was around 6 years (a very good age for one and that’s in captivity) No road kill of one in Tasmania which has the highest rate in Australia. With everyone having a phone and 100s of hunters and trail cameras in the Australian bush daily, still no one has been able to get any clear proof, not to mention the amount of studies, investigations and people who look for it full time. As far as the animal somehow becoming smart and associating humans with danger, well I’m pretty sure they don’t know about trail cameras and would of slipped up by now. The competition with wild dogs and dingoes for food. Also the fact that we have rediscovered extinct animals as small as bees and as big as dogs (singing dog in PNG) but not a thylacine which is arguably the most looked for Animal in Aus? Like I said I would love it if they where still alive but it just seems like very wishful thinking.

It scared her and ma didn't scare easy. Nor did she tell porkies. I believed her. And every time she saw it on Tv, etc she told that story. So hearing of sightings there, around Byron doesn't surprise me.

Who else thinks the palaeontologist overseas is the older version of Sheldon 😂

3:44 paranormalXD

Everything I've heard about Adelaide makes me sketched. Yet I'm from America. Books a ticket!

Small nitpick, the rainforests near Byron are subtropical.

Hey Aussies, WTF does some burned-out hippy making cat cut-outs have to do with Thylacines? That guy looks more interested in firing up a joint than finding a Thylacine.....

Either this woman is very cleverly advertising her nighttime jungle tours, or she actually saw something really unexplainable.

Sightings from The 60's Man~!!!

I have no doubt that they still exist !!!!!!!!!

The bounty for killing a thylacine was about a day's pay for the average worker professional hunters were drawn in on stories of den discoveries leading to a week's pay in as long as it takes to shoot them .it definitely was what killed them.

This place is famous, its were they film the tv show Home and Away

How can I have it disappeared 4000 years ago when they were in captivity in the 1920s?

@@pluffer96 yes, he was referring to the mainland only when he said that.

The footprints shown at around the 20min mark are NOT thylacine. Tigers have five digit prints with the 5th one being way low, like a thumb.

min 3:44 a ghost dropped his book! lol

I just want to cry every time I see a picture of this magnificent beast, deliberately hunted to extinction, and I still hope (yes, in spite of all the evidence and logic to the contrary!) that they could possibly find a remote community which escaped the persecution. But in the first couple of minutes - a mix of dog, kangaroo and tiger!???!! Please! Maybe add "looks like" "or has features of "?? I find that sort of ridiculous statement totally offputting and credibility-ruining for any documentary.

@@mikkikas6821 Coelacanth is a sea creature, much, much easier to hide. Any other animal you'll mention that was thought extinct for a long time but then rediscovered was either very small, a bug or bird, lives in trees, or something like that. There hasnt been a damn apex predator, which wasnt even THAT shy when it was around, that could just disappear for 85 years in Tasmania without being roadkilled or leaving evidence of its continued existence

about as much chance of the Tasmanian tiger being alive as there is of bigfoot kicking around

@@SMunro They're actually related to the numbat, not possums, although the stripes (of the numbat) are thought to be just a coincidence.

The guy from the museum seems very closeminded and unwilling to accept any other possibility or opinion of anyone other than his own. That is not a good way to be at all.... Thank goodness not all of us think alike and some are willing to challenge what we are taught/led to believe and think/explore for ourselves

Well I disagree. I think it is a good way to be. The time to believe something is when there is evidence to believe it. It is not a good idea to just accept other people's opinions. Science isn't interested in opinion, it's interested in evidence, and that is a good thing.

Papua New Guinea is the place to look

3:44 Thats the clue to find out Thylacine.

I for one will celebrate. If one is proved to still be around. And less ashamed that us humans are responsible for there extinction it would be nice.

sure like the art of Michelle Dawson, and man, she is quite lovely too

However I agree. Get photographic proof. But don't reveal the location if you are telling the truth.

At 5:40 , what has Byron Bay got to do with Thylacine.

Oh they're still around. I know because I've seen one. That's why my username is Thylacina.
