Part 1 Thylacine - Animal X Natural Mystery Unit

The Animal X - Natural Mystery Unit puts its investigative skills to the ultimate test trying to track down a live Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger as they are also known. Experts say the last of its kind died in an Australian zoo in the 1930's, but many believe this the last of the great meat eating marsupials is still alive and well.

Daniel and Natalie head into the wild Western Australian bush to talk with a farmer who swears he has seen the creature dozens of times stalking prey on his property. They discover footprints and scats that are just hours old. Could these have been made by a creature said to be extinct for 70 years?

As they travel this vast country meeting eyewitnesses, the evidence becomes more and more compelling. Dan and Nat uncover secret documents suggesting a population of Tasmanian Tigers was secretly released onto the mainland over 100 years ago. They meet a man who claims he wrestled with the creature and a respected wildlife officer who describes how he watched a Thylacine walking through the Tasmanian bush.
If it is out there, many believe that Tasmania's pro-logging policy will eventually kill off any chance the species has for survival. Is the government trying to keep the existence of the Thylacine hidden? Many think so.
Is the Thylacine still out there? The Animal X - Natural Mystery Unit investigates.

@PaleontologyExpert

yeah true true... but unfortunately, its impossible to prove for real that god exist, it is also impossible to prove to me that my imaginary friend bill, that only I can see, doesn't exist xD

To relate with the subject, this same problem is found when you try to prove that something, anything, doesn't exist. Ex: there is no proof that unicorns don't exist. cause prof is something real and so, you cannot find something real about something that isn't =D

@skeaneable MonsterQuest and even though I've never seen this show before now, it's probably under the same contract. Unless ABSOLUTE evidence is found, that can only BE believed, they cannot put thoughts in peoples head as to if something exists or not, and being as no absolute evidence has been found they cannot say if something is real or not. Pictures and videos can be misguided or fake, tracks can be good, or misguided etc, it's not their fault, they HAVE to do it to stay on TV.

Really? Are you serious? Hey here's an idea why not cross a human with a bird and then humans could fly? Geez

[webkinz096637]

people should breed a kangeroo and tiger and see if its a thylacine, why won't someone just try that!
