It is entirely probable that the Thylacines still exist in a dwindling populations of their once gigantic species. The only probable explanation for why we don't see them that often is because of instinct. Years of hunting must of brought some sense of fear of any human civilization. Think about it this way, if the entire human race was brought down to it's knees with a few survivors, well, the smart thing to do would be to avoid the thing that had caused such devastation. This doesn't mean tha
@ferretsea Also there are parts of Tasmania that has never had the foot of man step on it,many many parts of the state are still unexplored and it is possible the thylacine exists here
i visted altrelea there were pleny off them around a lot of famres with dable barrles farmar me my dad went to a farmer house so we sat down he gaveus coffie then i ask him about ethylacin he said ohh buddy its a long story he told me there a lot around there still alive he tryin to make histery catchin a Thylacine and keep he was ganna make it the last thylacin he still has it he102 year old he preety storng there still out there u just havint seen it soo yeah i loved thylacin
Even if there was still be thylacines left, I'm worried their population size would be very small. The genetic variation must be low, meaning even if the population continues to exists, it's vulnerable to diseases and has low birth rate. All these are problems with other species who have gone through genetic bottle necks. But still, small population of thylacines would be better than no thylacines at all.
@Feanorielle Some species can survive being bottlenecked,such as Cheetahs. Though Cheetahs have a rather low survival rate often due to low immunity and they are still enough of them out there to keep the population alive. Virtually all cheetahs are related
What is this song from? I know it from somewhere...!
And I'm sure there's bound to be a few small populations left, but they won't survive much longer with all the farmers and dingos and things taking up the resources.
@Wraithpaw Yes foxes seem to be a problem as well as a number of other introduced animals in australia. Introduced species are a problem in many areas esp in places that get too hot to kill them off like Australia,and now I have heard Florida has this problem as well
many dogs did founded with skulls smashed by thylacines bite... with' it's largest mouth respect mammals he could catch the whole head of his enemy inside his mouth..... and it did means the beginning of the end for the opponent,
Thylacines are truely my most favourite animal in the world! They just can't be extinct. They can't be...
Anyway, it's an awesome vid. Just something else, I also read that some Thylacines use their jaws more as a crushing tool when they hunt smaller prey, just totally crushing their prey's skull...
Speaking of Devils, ive read that the Australian Devils, lasted as long on the mainland until some 400 years ago! Unlike the Thylacine, the Devils apparently never made it to New Guinea. And they simply sniffed out and ATE all the baby foxes tranplanted in Tasmania! Lo L... When did the last Thylacine die out in New Guinea? Did the natives and their pets/emergency meals the singing dogs, lend a hand?
Thanx, balto. Also, what do you think of the socalled Queensland tiger? Is it an abberant race of Australian thylacine that somehow survived the dingo invasion, or is it a separate species,alltogether?? The photos being bandied about look like negatives of the Tasmanian wolf! The stripes appear upfront,instead of the rear. If you believe in the Queensland Tiger,please post? I would luv to hear your imput.
There's been several theories on the Queensland Tiger,some say it is a Thylacine,and others actually think it might be the Marsupial 'Lion' It does have my interest though
I wish there were better records of the thylacine as pets? A young lad walked his pet Tasmanian wolf into town and the townfolk went wild with pandemonium! But, ofcourse, we must preserve what we have now!! What are they doing about the Tasmanian devils deadly mouth tumors? It could very wind up like its close cousins, the thylacine and the eastern quoll, if we re not careful?! Devils are cute,too. Atleast the youngsters are.
I have looked up more info on thylacines as pets and read about it in books as well. They were escape artists,as there instincts probably kicked in as wild animals. I read about one that was kept on a rope for some time until it chewed it's way out.
I think the Tasmanian Devil facial tumors seems to be leveling off,fortunately but they aren't out of the woods,i wonder if they are looking for a vaccine? Eastern Quolls,aren't extinct all together ,they are on the mainland,but common on tasmania
sometimes they were kept as pets,as they weren't aggresive towords humans.However,most pictures you see are of zoo animals,but even in zoos they were known to be tame
"In 1983, Ted Turner offered a $100,000 reward for proof of the continued existence of the Thylacine.However, a letter sent in response to an inquiry by a Thylacine-searcher, Murray McAllister, in 2000 indicated that the reward had been withdrawn"
to think that such a beautiful animal is extinct is a thought that should not be thought, these creatures had just as much right to live as you and I, the same thing could happen to oother animals, it is already too late for the caspian tiger and the remaining tigers of the world do not see a good future ahead of them. same could be said for many other animals. i wish there could be some survivors, i would love people to go on an expedition to try and find, if there are, the last thylacine.
I agree,it makes me sick.And people are still killing animals,even though they are endangered,people have stupid fears-and 99.99% of the time they are irrational.Like i know someone that kills non poisonous snakes,just because she hates them,even though they are harmless,and if anything are good because they kill mice.I also knew someone that would catch bats with nets and kill them,bats are good they kill bugs that are harmful.And don't get me started on Sarah Palin's war on wolves
Good vid mate. Well done. I'm in two minds about this rediscovery thing. If the tassie tiger is still out there then it's obviously doing well with the notion that most people think it's extinct. The tasmanian govt should be preserving the tassie bush with or without proof of the Thylacine's existence. I agree it would strengthen the argument for habitat preservation of the Tasmanian forest. Could the tassie tiger be alive & well on the mainland as well????
I recently saw a TV documentary about the possibility of cloning thylacines from a pup that had been preserved in alcohol for well over 100 years. They claimed to have found DNA but it was extremely fragmented. If the thylacines are gone, here's hoping for the alternative plan of cloning.
Ah forgot to log out...... My sister stole my name..... I'm actually kind of a guitar freak...... Maybe I could make an electric that looks like a Thylacine,,,, THEN SMASH IT ON STAGE!!!! MUWAHHAHAHAHA! THUS ENDETH THE FINAL TASSIE TIGER!
even though i got one question, if feral dogs did kill livestock, what makes you think thylacines don the unknown killing thingy when it could of just been feral dogs again?
The killing style is VERY different but back then,people didn't really know about that,dead sheep were dead sheep and it was easy to blame a weird looking marsupial-I have been reading a book on this animal and they talked about the killings from back then and how say 20 sheep where killed in one night and ripped apart vs one bite to the skull(which dogs don't do)and neatly eating organs,again dogs are messy
NO!! DONT YOU GET IT?? there is no more leftttt!! :( US HUMANS PUT SUCH AMAZING ANIMALS TO EXTINCTION AND THERE ARE NO MORE FUCKING LEFT!! dont you get ittt??? :'( we was gona make clones witch we FUCKING FAILED but even if we did make clones it wasnt gona be the same!! its just not right playing god
I think that there are a few Tasmanian Tigers out there and their numbers might be recovering if there aren't too few; there's just too few to be seen or counted...
these are one of my favorite animals i was gunna make a game when i was older about a tasmanian tiger but ut oh somebody all ready did god damn TY!!!! oh well ill make a game about a tasmanian devil instead.
Marvelous pics& portraits.But they're all gone.The sightings since 1936 is either that of manged dogs or dingos or wishful thinking-Or all of the above!Are you sure,then it wasn't a marsupial lion(Thylacoleo carnifex) out there,too!?!
Was Steve talkin' about Tasmania-where there might be a glimmer of hope-or mainland Australia,where the thylacine has been extinc for the last 3,000 years?!
AND there are ALL those "HOAXTERS" ou there! Check out"possible Tasmanian tiger filmed in Australia"-posted by Colacas on this site. It doesn't look REAL to me.The jerky unnatural movements,the ears are too big &pointy,AND THE EYES!Despite the fact they are entirely too small,narrow,"unsmiling"-they have no"eyeliner mark" at the end:THEY HAVE NO LIFE IN THEM!!!I can always tell a computer graphics video,by the eyes!! And they won't let me post-because they know that I know-IT"S A FAKE!!!
To Be Honest, I hope that for a while, The Tylacine is not Rediscovered, Because as soon as word comes that they are out there, they will probably be hunted again, Not being discovered gives them more time to breed
If you go bush walking don't forget to bring a camera. But it would be typical wouldn't it? You take a camera you don't see anything. You don't take a camera you see stuff lol. Like what happen to my brother one time. He has seen some strange hairy man like creature, the one time he didn't bring his camera.
this was a great vid but i hav to point something out you giving them too much unwanted publicity if they are hiding they probably want to stay hidden when they want to found they'll come out
Mother nature has its way of hiding things that are in plain sight. If they are around there probably hiding. Just like where I live we have coyote's & never see them during the day or rare to see during night time but they are there
thats really sad! I believe that the Thylacine r hiding from man...they r scared. that's y ppl dont think they exist anymore! but i believe they r out there somewhere! very few but 1 day i bet there will be many many many! and who knows...they could be planning revenge on man! but watever happens, i hope they become a natural animal! not endangered! long live the Thylacine!
people did not just see them in tazmaina they seen them worldwide!!!oh and thylacine4444 do not do that because if u do that that means you want to kill it
The "mummy" is also very intriguing because the opinion of the zoologist was that it was no more than a year old, as they found a dingo carcass as well that was 20 years old but far more deteriorated than the Thylacine. The stripes are still visible, the tongue, the eyes, etc. In my opinion, there is no way a 4,500 year old carcass could look that good, whether it be in a cave or not.
I agree the carcass can't be that old,it looked like it was in almost perfect form,they found a dingo in that cave that was in worse shape it it was less then 20 years old
I think scientists get too caught up with the "thousands" and "millions". I have never seen anything that was once living and supposed to decompose look that good at an age of 4,500 years. I mean, the whiskers were still there even. The temperature in a cave is cold and dry enough to decently preserve something for a specific period of time, but it would not look that good after 4,500 years.
Exactly. It's quite funny when they do such things. All scientific dating has major flaws. I looked at that thing and unless it was kept in something similar to that of King Tut, then I agree that it was around 6 months to a year old. I've seen year old remains of an animal, and it was NOT a pretty sight o.o
Agreed,the carcass couldn't have been older then 6 months-in fact I showed to pic to someone that I work with that used to be a vet tech and she said she would guess it was between 2-4 months old
The shells of living mollusks have been dated using the carbon 14 method, only to find that the method gave it a date as having been dead for 23,000 years!(Science vol. 141 1963 pg. 634-637)
That is just one of many very inaccurate tests that were done on even a living thing.
The unfortunate thing is, that carcass PROVES that the Thylacine is still living and is not extinct, yet because of this terribly flawed dating method, it's not proof. A sighting of an Eastern Quoll is enough to convince scientists that those are still living, but even photos (blurry or not), potential videos, and thousands of sightings aren't enough for the Thylacine.
It's very weird,if there was that much evidence of say Wolves living somewhere where they were supposed to be extinct,people would accept that they are not,yet not for the Thylacine
Very strange and I think some people know more then they will admit to
People are so reluctant to call all of these people crazy. 4,000 sightings and every one of them is mistaken? I find that way too hard to believe. The fox wasn't supposed to be around, but it was found. There's just too much evidence to throw it all out as myth, crazies, hoaxes, etc.
I spoke to the Tigerman through email a couple of times about his book, and he is more thorough than anyone i've seen. It's obvious that the Thylacine is not a myth and people are seeing what they want to see. If I had the time, patience, and funds, i'd be right out there with the best of them searching for the Thylacine.
He's a very nice guy, and responds almost instantly. His book is what made me REALLY think that the Thylacine is still out there, even without his two sightings.
I trust Col Bailey as well, although I don't know much of his findings and all that jazz. Tigerman is really hot on the trail. He surely knows what he's doing.
Great video. Have always loved the music and it went very well with the photos and the information. I think they're out there and hiding away from people. I would too. With the thousands of Thylacines that were around, I don't think hunting them could lead to their demise.
Amazing video! Very informative. The music is scary but it added to the suspense. This is a thriller :) I really hope that the thylacine population will grow and repair itself. I can't wait for the day that they finally reveal themselves o.O
I agree the day they reveal themselves will be an amazing day indeed-I thought the tone of the music went well with it as well,and it took over a month to get it right
I hate australians colonist to had exterminated this poor animal.I pray for this assholes burn on hell.

WELL I THOUGHT SO
thylacine1234 3 years ago
Marvelous pics& portraits.But they're all gone.The sightings since 1936 is either that of manged dogs or dingos or wishful thinking-Or all of the above!Are you sure,then it wasn't a marsupial lion(Thylacoleo carnifex) out there,too!?!
oxyaena 4 years ago
No,I'm just talking about the Thylacine sightings,4,000 sightings can't all be wrong,and I'm sure someone like Steve Irwin would know what he saw
But it's one of those things that we may never know for sure
balto4 4 years ago
Was Steve talkin' about Tasmania-where there might be a glimmer of hope-or mainland Australia,where the thylacine has been extinc for the last 3,000 years?!
Minni8787 4 years ago
Yes I believe it was in Tasmania that Steve Irwin saw one

i seen one
thylacine1234 4 years ago
AND there are ALL those "HOAXTERS" ou there! Check out"possible Tasmanian tiger filmed in Australia"-posted by Colacas on this site. It doesn't look REAL to me.The jerky unnatural movements,the ears are too big &pointy,AND THE EYES!Despite the fact they are entirely too small,narrow,"unsmiling"-they have no"eyeliner mark" at the end:THEY HAVE NO LIFE IN THEM!!!I can always tell a computer graphics video,by the eyes!! And they won't let me post-because they know that I know-IT"S A FAKE!!!

Yea I've seen that video,while I don't think it was faked on purpose I do not believe it is a Thylacine,it looks like a dog with mange to me

it dose
thylacine1234 4 years ago
To Be Honest, I hope that for a while, The Tylacine is not Rediscovered, Because as soon as word comes that they are out there, they will probably be hunted again, Not being discovered gives them more time to breed

zootycoon209 4 years ago
Fucking Tasmanians first they wipe the local Aboriginals out, then wiped out the Thylacaine,then a lot of the rivers were destroyed what next?
kolalajoe 4 years ago 3
I know it's awful :( Hopefully the Thylacine evaded extinction
balto4 4 years ago
Yeah I hope it's still around. But Tasmania is a small island. You would think someone would have at least one on camera by now.
kolalajoe 4 years ago
ya u r right but still i beleve.i use to live in tasmaina and i seen one.
zootycoon209 4 years ago
If you go bush walking don't forget to bring a camera. But it would be typical wouldn't it? You take a camera you don't see anything. You don't take a camera you see stuff lol. Like what happen to my brother one time. He has seen some strange hairy man like creature, the one time he didn't bring his camera.
kolalajoe 4 years ago 2
IT WAS BIG FOOT!!!!!lol
zootycoon209 4 years ago
this was a great vid but i hav to point something out you giving them too much unwanted publicity if they are hiding they probably want to stay hidden when they want to found they'll come out
btw weres the thylacaine museam

The killings really scare me. Not just the blood but the way they kill seems so...strange and different.

balto4 4 years ago
ya they scare me it is strange serisuly i use to live in tasmaina i seen one in hoborts zoo or whatever i forget
zootycoon209 4 years ago
and how old are you ?
Didnt the last one in captivity die in the 50's or 60's or something ? , i think your telling lies :)

he is lying, the last one as i recall died in the 30s
hiphopguy95 4 years ago 2
yeah i thought so mate , last one died in the 1930 , so this zootycoon is either hell old or just another lying fuckwit.
hoodlem187 4 years ago

thylacine1234 4 years ago
Mother nature has its way of hiding things that are in plain sight. If they are around there probably hiding. Just like where I live we have coyote's & never see them during the day or rare to see during night time but they are there
dwstrat7879 4 years ago
I agree,animals know how to hide very well from people
We have opossums in our neighborhood but I have only seen one once,same with rabbits,foxes skunks ect they are there but they hide from people

thats really sad! I believe that the Thylacine r hiding from man...they r scared. that's y ppl dont think they exist anymore! but i believe they r out there somewhere! very few but 1 day i bet there will be many many many! and who knows...they could be planning revenge on man! but watever happens, i hope they become a natural animal! not endangered! long live the Thylacine!
Chii24 4 years ago 3
I hope there numbers increase too-and by the time they are rediscivered they won't be endangered anymore!!!
balto4 4 years ago
one day i will join for the hunt to find the thylacine when im old enough
Thylacine4444 4 years ago
I'd love to do that too-but I'm all the way in cananda and don't have the money or the means to get to Tasmania
balto4 4 years ago
people did not just see them in tazmaina they seen them worldwide!!!oh and thylacine4444 do not do that because if u do that that means you want to kill it
zootycoon209 4 years ago

we the children of the thylacine will rediscover it one day! one day soon !
Thylacine4444 4 years ago
The "mummy" is also very intriguing because the opinion of the zoologist was that it was no more than a year old, as they found a dingo carcass as well that was 20 years old but far more deteriorated than the Thylacine. The stripes are still visible, the tongue, the eyes, etc. In my opinion, there is no way a 4,500 year old carcass could look that good, whether it be in a cave or not.
bashfulbutterfly 4 years ago
I agree the carcass can't be that old,it looked like it was in almost perfect form,they found a dingo in that cave that was in worse shape it it was less then 20 years old
balto4 4 years ago
I think scientists get too caught up with the "thousands" and "millions". I have never seen anything that was once living and supposed to decompose look that good at an age of 4,500 years. I mean, the whiskers were still there even. The temperature in a cave is cold and dry enough to decently preserve something for a specific period of time, but it would not look that good after 4,500 years.
bashfulbutterfly 4 years ago
I agree no way is that carcass that old-I say it was 6 months tops MAYBE up to a year,but even that is pushing it
Scientists always get caught up in the numbers,rather then looking at the facts
balto4 4 years ago
Exactly. It's quite funny when they do such things. All scientific dating has major flaws. I looked at that thing and unless it was kept in something similar to that of King Tut, then I agree that it was around 6 months to a year old. I've seen year old remains of an animal, and it was NOT a pretty sight o.o
bashfulbutterfly 4 years ago
Agreed,the carcass couldn't have been older then 6 months-in fact I showed to pic to someone that I work with that used to be a vet tech and she said she would guess it was between 2-4 months old
balto4 4 years ago
The shells of living mollusks have been dated using the carbon 14 method, only to find that the method gave it a date as having been dead for 23,000 years!(Science vol. 141 1963 pg. 634-637)
That is just one of many very inaccurate tests that were done on even a living thing.
bashfulbutterfly 4 years ago
The unfortunate thing is, that carcass PROVES that the Thylacine is still living and is not extinct, yet because of this terribly flawed dating method, it's not proof. A sighting of an Eastern Quoll is enough to convince scientists that those are still living, but even photos (blurry or not), potential videos, and thousands of sightings aren't enough for the Thylacine.
bashfulbutterfly 4 years ago
It's very weird,if there was that much evidence of say Wolves living somewhere where they were supposed to be extinct,people would accept that they are not,yet not for the Thylacine
Very strange and I think some people know more then they will admit to
balto4 4 years ago
People are so reluctant to call all of these people crazy. 4,000 sightings and every one of them is mistaken? I find that way too hard to believe. The fox wasn't supposed to be around, but it was found. There's just too much evidence to throw it all out as myth, crazies, hoaxes, etc.
bashfulbutterfly 4 years ago
I agree 4,000 sightings is awfully high for them all to be hoaxes or mistaken identity
balto4 4 years ago
I spoke to the Tigerman through email a couple of times about his book, and he is more thorough than anyone i've seen. It's obvious that the Thylacine is not a myth and people are seeing what they want to see. If I had the time, patience, and funds, i'd be right out there with the best of them searching for the Thylacine.
bashfulbutterfly 4 years ago
I love Tigerman's work-I have always meant to e-mail him sometime,but never seem to get around to it,I might e-mail him sometime in the new year
In fact he inspired me to do this video in first place
balto4 4 years ago
He's a very nice guy, and responds almost instantly. His book is what made me REALLY think that the Thylacine is still out there, even without his two sightings.
bashfulbutterfly 4 years ago
I agree-his book made it even more believable for me too-I have also followed Col Baily for a number of years as well
Tigerman has found A LOT of evidence,I'm certain one day he will be the one to rediscover them
balto4 4 years ago
I trust Col Bailey as well, although I don't know much of his findings and all that jazz. Tigerman is really hot on the trail. He surely knows what he's doing.
bashfulbutterfly 4 years ago
I agree,I think Tigerman will be the one to find a live Thylacine
balto4 4 years ago
Great video. Have always loved the music and it went very well with the photos and the information. I think they're out there and hiding away from people. I would too. With the thousands of Thylacines that were around, I don't think hunting them could lead to their demise.

i heard there going to clone it in 10 years or so
Thylacine4444 4 years ago
Amazing video! Very informative. The music is scary but it added to the suspense. This is a thriller :) I really hope that the thylacine population will grow and repair itself. I can't wait for the day that they finally reveal themselves o.O

I agree the day they reveal themselves will be an amazing day indeed-I thought the tone of the music went well with it as well,and it took over a month to get it right
