I believe the Thylacine is definitely alive. But I think we may be looking in the wrong spot. There are definitely none on mainland Australia, and if they were it would have to be something artificially moved there around Cape York by humans or I don't know, I only say this because Nick Mooney claimed a sighting there, it seems unlikely but it is Nick Mooney. Tasmania, could well have definitely have had them recently, I believe they probably survived there until late 20th century. Not 1936 as we believe. They probably died to out due to dwindling population and other causes. But. If they were to be still alive, 100%, they would have to be in West Papua. There are too many "confirmations" from local tribes and villagers. And they just recently rediscovered Singing dogs there. It is far too less explored. If they exist, we would only find them there. There was a Forest Galante video on this. But if you ignore the incredibly coincidental, almost cinema-like circumstances he talks about with Rose, it is definitely believable.

After posting this video, Neil Waters posted a picture from the video on his instagram saying "They just simply aren't extinct. This one in Western Australia isn't at least..."

But I have the question: Why didn't this find get more attention? Like it happened and everyone forgot about it in less than a month and it is one of the clearest thylacine videos ever taken though a trail camera.

If anyone know something, (e.g. it was disproven by experts, it was faked, ect) please let me know. :)

A new two-part documentary series investigating the age-old question of whether the Tasmanian tiger is still alive will soon hit screens.

Local filmmaker Tim Noonan’s ‘Hunt for Truth: Tasmanian Tiger’ will explore recent and historic sightings of the thylacine, with the help of UTAS scientists Professor Barry Brook, Dr Jessie Buettel and Associate Researcher Kenji Sabine.

Noonan interviews many eyewitnesses throughout the series, taking his search as far south as the wilderness of south-west Tasmania and as far north as Papua New Guinea.

“People love the unsolved mystery, it’s like a true crime story that pulls you in,” Noonan says.

An "enormous amount of work, blood, sweat and tears" has gone into documentary filmmaker Tim Noonan's new series Hunt for Truth: Tasmanian Tiger.

Pitched as a "live investigation" series, Noonan said he hopes the public will actively engage and tell the end of it. 

Hunt for Truth takes the audience into remote parts of Tasmania and Papua New Guinea in the search for thylacines. It also features people who have searched for the tiger for decades or publicly shared possible sightings.

Noonan tapped into a University of Tasmania research team to access a sprawling trail camera network that covers remote locations in Tasmania. The network is for animal research but has the dual purpose of providing opportunity for a thylacine to be filmed, if the species were to still exist.

"I was lucky enough to go on a couple of expeditions," Noonan said. 

"It was so intense...these guys are next level."

Research team member, Kenji Sabine, said the remote areas can sometimes take days or weeks to reach. 

Tim Noonan and Kenji Sabine spoke with ABC's Lucie Cutting about their pursuit of the iconic species.

Benjamin, the thylacine

The thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, was the largest carnivorous marsupial of modern times. Benjamin, the last known individual, died in 1936 at the Hobart Zoo in Tasmania, a victim of hunting, disease, and habitat loss.

A Tasmanian artist has collaborated with the University of Melbourne's 'Not Natural' science exhibition to create a space that poses the ethical question of whether we should bring back the thylacine.

TIGRR's research led by Professor Andrew Pask and backed by Colossal Biosciences, famed for wanting to bring back the woolly mammoth is progressing very well in relation to bringing the thylacine back from extinction.

They think that in 10 years time they will have a fully engineered thylacine cell.

AAP FACTCHECK – An American tourist claims to have taken photos of a real Tasmanian tiger while visiting the Australian island state.

This is false. Experts say the images are clearly a hoax due to the animal’s anatomical inconsistencies with Tasmanian tigers, extinct carnivorous marsupials formally known as thylacines.

In a YouTube video interview with US-based wildlife biologist Forrest Galante, the alleged tourist, who uses the pseudonym “Zack” and has his face obscured, claims his supposed thylacine images are authentic.

The images have been shared widely on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit.

Has anyone here watched Gamingbeaver’s videos on the thylacine hoax photos from Forrest’s video?

They’re very obviously a hoax now. And he did a fairly good job at pointing out discrepancies. But Gamingbeaver still sounds like a bit of a grifter to me.

I’m no Forrest Galante simp. I think a lot of criticisms against him are valid (that Rose Thylacine story from PNG is fishy af. And Nick Mooney has NEVER claimed to have seen a thylacine) but GB claimed his videos aren’t meant to mock Forrest but rather mock the hoaxer. Yet multiple times he makes fun of Forrest’s interpretation, the fact that he found the photos compelling, and even tells him what his moral obligation is in responding to it.

Idk, he just seems to have a superiority complex. He acts like only people without media literacy would find the photos convincing. I just flat-out don’t believe him when he acts like he knew the front-facing photo and the one of the creature laying down were fake from the jump.

Forrest is a biologist who’s obsessed with the thylacine, he thought they had merit. His team of photographers and videographers thought they had merit. I used to go to film school when I was younger, I had a lot of practice with photoshop and have even been hired for wildlife photography gigs… I thought the photos had merit.

There’s a reason these photos went more viral than any thylacine sighting… EVER. It’s not because everyone but you is an idiot. That just screams of elitism to me.

I thought DNAReptiles had a much better video on it. He focused squarely on the worst photos, showed how easy it was to debunk them, and said “if one of them is fake, they’re all fake.” That’s a much more honest and accurate assessment imo.

What do you all think? Am I just being too harsh or did you find his videos to be somewhat disingenuous?

New footage showing what is being claimed to be an extinct Tasmanian tiger in the wild has attracted huge speculation after years of reported sightings.

The Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, was one of Australia's most iconic species and the nation's only marsupial apex predator.

However, the population declined dramatically because of hunting by humans and competition with the dingo.

I have a tough time imagining a creature hiding out for that long. They've been considered extinct on Tasmania for not nearly as long which is what gives me a tiny bit of hope. But what is your explanation for the mainland sightings if you believe they are legit?

Yes I know you’re probably all ready to hate me.

Okay Listen, I don’t wanna say they’re completely 100% extinct (I still have a little bit faith) but if we’re being completely honest, it is very unlikely (but not impossible) Many people have spoke about seeing these animals after they were declared extinct in 1936. (Natives of png, Australians,etc) but cmon we are living in 2024 and somebody couldn’t get a photo/video/bone specimen or literally anything that proves it still alive? All we see are these blurry videos that looks more like a fox to me. It would be better of cloning thylacine a from their remains and breeding them back so we can get their DNA to be similar to their long dead ancestors.

11 possible high quality photos of Tasmanian tiger alongside interview with person who took them released 3 hours ago

Forrest Galante uploaded an interview with a man that took very convincing photographs of what looks like a thylacine on YouTube. I’m not finding reactions anywhere online but in the video comments.
