MYSTERIOUS PLANET EPISODE-6

Over 12,000 years ago, up until 1936, Thylacines once ruled and roamed Australia and Tasmania. Hunted to extinction by man, the Thylacine was once thought to be long gone. But, evidence, both past and present, has come forth contradicting the Thylacine's extinct status. Are Thylacines still amongst us? Watch and decide for yourself in this installment of Mysterious Planet.

  • The video of the last Thylacine is just about the saddest thing I've seen.

  • @Cercumference0

    I doubt it. I mean it would be nice if there where.

    I think the last Tassie Tiger died sometime in the early to mid 70's. Even though officially it died out in 1936. If there are Tasmanian Tigers still out there then they are in very small isolated groups. Maybe only around 40 individuals still alive. Also, The problem with such low numbers in genetic diversity. I am sure that in those "Isolated pockets" there has been inbreeding.

  • Humans are Just a fucking evil disease I hope one Day a race of Aliens will come down and wipe out all the evil violent humans leaving only peacefull intelligent humans alive.

  • hope there is still some of these surviving in the wild so when & if us humans do get a grip of what we are doing to the environment they have a real chance to recover, i'm 18 and it's so horrible to think that even common animals around today maybe aren't going to be here for future generations. at least this can't carry on forever :S

  • @Singapom888 why? fuck them are just like dogs.. in million of years many of the animals where lost from different causes, just because this specie was killed by man, make it more sad or what? One day all the life on Earth will disappear! Grow up! We have more important problems than being sad for some dogs like shits lost!

  • What do you expect from the descendants of convicts?

  • orangutans may be the same as the Tasmanian Tiger fared like this

  • lol musics intense dude

  • This is really sad. Men has ruined everything. How many species got extinct because of us?! And how many more will, just because we are to selfish to care. And keep on killing innocent animals and destroying their habitat. Men is the worst thing that could happen to the earth. Before we arrived everything was going fine and the species that are now extinct had been around for ages without any problems. Also the planet was clean, no polution, lots of nature. And than we ruined it!Out of greed..;

  • This music just made this video really creepy...

  • 2:18 trying to remember what movie this is from? enemy of the state?

  • These would be one of the best, if not "thee" best candidates for Cross species Genetic cloning, possibly using a wolf as mom. It really has a distinct jaw and naso structure, almost as if it's ancestor is related to the opossum. Looked very much like a opossum in the face, maybe having evolved taller/bigger scavenging less and hunting more, possibly sharing its ecosystems with a lager number of scavengers.
