    I’ll call myself a skeptical optimist. I really want to believe that they’re hiding out there somewhere, but the lack of concrete evidence over such a long period of time makes me sad. Fingers crossed for the reintroduction to go well.

      The thing that makes me believe that they might still exist after all is, that the Australian government is trying to snuff out any news or evidence regarding it. Because if there would be evidence, Thylacines would be classified as endangered species and the corrupt government couldn't continue logging all of Tasmania.

      The consistency of the discrepancies in nearly all sightings with what is actually known about this species show most are delusions or hoaxes. The comments here will be full of perpetrators. Red flags to their survival are the surge of records since 1060, the absence of bounty payments (or accounts of ripping off the Government by selling them from that source if only Tasmania paid it) from mainland thylacine tokens, and another very clear one that this video partially explains. Like panther sign, if the obvious evidence factors are publicised, Forrest Galante, Neil Waters and dozens of others will suddenly start finding them. Some already do, badly faked or other species evidence misidentification or disinformation.
      What is really frustrating is the drivel these content makers influence any reports to be treated dubiously. So potentially a sound record could be dismissed or follow up delayed due to such sad attention seekers.
      Recent AI progress will only increase such rubbish. An example is a recent report Forrest G has received, and treated quite competently. The record seems credible if a few key issues can be confirmed. Otherwise it is the beginning of the avalanche of falsehoods to join the 99% of cryptid/character species extinction information some feel rational. Forrest may yet crack it?
      Perhaps a remnant population still exists far from turkey access, hope springs eternal.

    I can say without doubt that the Tasmanian Tiger still lived in 1978 in the South West of Western Australia, in the Nannup and Pemberton area, I had the good fortune to see one just after cyclone Alby passed through on my way back to Perth heading towards Nannup on a wet and windy night. I saw an animal in my headlights and stopped my car as it slowly walked across the road no more that 5 metres in front of me, I did not have a clue what it was. A peculiar looking, not small but large lean dog with stripes across its back, powerful tail and long jaws, it stopped looked at my car and walked on without any haste at all. No computers back then but I searched my local library in Perth and with assistance from my wife discovered it was an extinct Thylacine.

    my heart breaks for thylacines. For whatever reason they have been one of my favorite animals, and it hurts me so deeply that they were purposefully exterminated because farmers found them to be pests. I genuinely hope de-extinction is possible for them. I think they are a great example of animals we absolutely SHOULD bring back because their extinction is so recent as apposed to a mammoth or other holocene era megafauna that haven't been around for thousands of years.

      @@systemofaslipstatic There was a time I was seriously considering cryptozoology as an actual career, and in that time I learned that most "real" cryptozoologists spend their time trying to prove that presumed extinct animals aren't.

      ​@OlyChickenGuy Isn't that a field of pseudo science? I'm not taking a jab at you, it is a genuine question.
      I'm under the impression that cryptozoology is sort of a "made up" or not largely accepted/acclaimed field of study by colleges/other scientific fields?
      Anyways, it seems like it would be incorrect to classify animals that have factually been scientifically described in the same way as creatures that are, by all accounts, urban legends and havent yet been actually studied or described by any reliable sources?

    • @OlyChickenGuy
      @OlyChickenGuy Před 2 měsíci +1

      @@unusualtomato5 Thank you for asking in a civil manner, and I shall do my best to clarify what you've asked about.
      The type of cryptozoology that I was interested in potentially making a career out of wasn't the field as people tend to think of it, like looking for Bigfoot or Nessie. What I was looking into was a field where the goal was to investigate sightings of undetermined animals to find out what they are, such as sightings of the Tasmanian Tiger, or some unknown bird in the Congo. It's much less sensational than the idea of running around trying to prove that Pterodactyls still exist, or that there's lizard people at the core of the Earth. It's much more likely that you're either going to find a species that was thought extinct or to not exist in the area, a rare species, an unusual expression of genes in an existing species, an unusual behaviour in an existing species, or maybe we'd be lucky enough to find something new, but it would likely be grounded in reality of the ecosystem we're exploring. You'd be more likely to be sent out to find some plant that some botanist recorded a hundred years ago than to actually prove the existence of dragons.
      In this field, taken as an actual, grounded career, a "cryptid" would refer to any animal that's known anecdotally to exist but is yet to be proven, which as explained above could be as mundane as confirming that a sub-species of something exists in an area that was previously undocumented. As an example, the Northern Flying Squirrel is known to exist throughout Canada and certain sections of the northern US. It has, however, recently become known that there's a tiny section between the Cascade Mountains and Pacific Coast that a previously unknown sub-species exists. Externally, they're nearly identical to all other Northern Flying Squirrels, but upon genetic sequencing we've found a genetically distinct population that seems to not interbreed with other Flying Squirrels where their territories overlap. In this case, if someone has ever proposed that the Flying Squirrels of the Pacific Northwest were unique, but we didn't yet have that genetic information to confirm this, the PNW version of the Flying Squirrel would be considered a cryptid despite knowing that Flying Squirrels exist in the area. To take cryptozoology is a "real" science, they'd really just be the ones doing the genetic testing to prove that a PNW variant of the Northern Flying Squirrel exists. That's not to say that the people who did the genetic study ARE cryptozoologists (they were actually testing for general genetic information from specimens sitting in storage at the Smithsonian), just that if someone specialised in cryptozoology as an actual science, they might do such tasks.

    I have worked in the Tassie bush for over 25 years. I am a feral pest controller and camping out in remote areas is part of my job. I have never seen one and never seen any signs or heard any sounds that might be from one. Unfortunately I would say that it's highly unlikely that they made it past the late 70's. Tasmania is a fairly small island and unless the government get serious about feral pests, the reintroduction of animals would probably starve to death due to lack of native fauna for food and suitable environment.. Ive seen all of the video's and photo's, they are all quite clearly foxes, dogs or just fakes.

      The saddest animal extinctions, in my opinion, are the ones to take place in the 1860’s to 1940’s, because the pictures and old videos of them make them so alive. Like I can feel them, they’re RIGHT THERE, but no they dead and I’ll never see them. Also where is the Thylacine pouch? If it’s a marsupial and all? Like where it at

    The out of Australia sightings are wild cause if it turns out to be true that means someone has been aware of their continued existence and has either sold some into black market sales selling them for high prices and in secret, or is trying to relocate a specimen in some bizzare experiment. The fact that they show zero fear of humans when wild breeds would "cower" away tells me if these are Tigers than they must of been bred and are very used to humans.

      Having no fear of humans does not mean that they've had previous human contact, it only means they haven't experienced humans as a threat. The Dodo was notorious for allowing human to approach it and kill it. The Galapagos animals, mainly the reptiles, will all humans to approach. This is especially true for remote island animals as there often can be a lack of predators. Thylacines were the apex predator on Australian/Tasmania and lived a nocturnal life and previous creatures who had not had exposure to humans would have no reason to fear them.

    I think that this is a species where it is somewhat reasonable to assume that it's not extinct. The tasmanian tiger kind of has a lot going for it. It already had experience with humans prior the british setting up shop, and it knew to be skittish. It was skittish enough to elude the british when they first landed there. It is fairly reasonable to believe that it eventually learned to be as far away from civilization as possible especially if it wasn't big enough to hunt sheep. Although the fact that there are ferral dogs on the islands means that it could have definitely been outcompeted to extinction sometime in the 20th century.

    What no one talks about is the Mainland Thylacine. I am one of the people who reported the sighting in Victoria.
    It’s most likely something similar to Thylacinus Potens. What is on the fossil record. The assumption is they went extinct on the mainland however many people have sightings and don’t report them.
    They have longer hocks
    Longer legs
    A more grey hound shape
    And less of the cone shape at the base of the tail.
    A tan colour with stripes only noticeable from the sides and Not from behind.
    They also have long pointy ears which are identical to the pointy ear found on the thylacine at the mammoth caves in Western Australia. If you look at the corpse you see the longer hocks too and also a different shaped but longer snout.
    It does bipedal hops like a kangaroo at full speed.
    And when DSE and parks Victoria took my photos to a professor of biology
    The photos created much hype in the departments I was told. However photos were not classed as conclusive proof. Yet they kept calling me back asking many questions.
    Thing is I took photos of photos on my crap Chinese desktop screen and sent it to them not really thinking about pixels but since then only this year I looked at them on my new HD computer screen and the pixilation on HD is amazingly better than what anyones seen before.
    Other thing the departments only viewed 3-4 photos and I had 12 so don’t think they investigate as they didn’t want to or requested more to look at.
    They stick to their red mange fox narrative and that’s that.
    They also acknowledged the Thylacine photos had stripes however they wanted to label it as a fox that lost its fur from mange disease in stripes that gave the appearance of stripes however Must not be stripes as the animal was considered extinct.
    Yet they acknowledged the stripes and said there was no other evidence of Foxes having stripes from mange disease.
    In layman’s terms it’s a political answer that answers a question about the stripes and denies the stripes whilst acknowledging they were actually stripes.
    So it’s not the sightings that count it’s he who counts the sightings.
    Maybe they own shares in the 1080 bait program which was the reason I sent them photos and said have you got any idea what your doing with baits and told them and showed photos of what’s in the area.

      I live in America we've been told black panthers haven't existed in our state and surrounding states in over 100 years. Discounting all reports sightings and pictures livestock murder etc. After finally being caught on game cameras a few years back wildlife officials finally admitted they are here. So yes I'd say this happens frequently and all over the world

      Yeah mate it’s because Victoria has a lot of bush land and mountain ranges and also what most people don’t know is that in Victoria there is 2-3 species but at least 2 that are common one is the Tasmanian breed.
      The other is what people describe as a grey hound looking Thylacine that is reported to be much bigger. That’s the one I seen. They are extremely agile and quick and probably way more elusive than the Tasmanian ones.
      Victoria has a similar climate to Tasmania and what most people don’t take into account is the dingo fence removed dingoes from the south east part of the country. There is an over supply of kangaroos and game over here with no dingoes around to thin them out. Sure there is a few wild dogs getting around but there is that much food out there that Thylacines have a great chance of survival.
      Problem is the 1080 baits that kills wild dogs dingoes and thylacines.
      Parks Victoria are behind the baiting program and plenty of big bag of fresh air worthless biologists.
      They have no clue and all most people talk about is the Tasmanian species.
      Truth be told there is 6 Thylacines know on the fossil record and probably a few more never known by science.
      The mainland thylacine in Vic could be arguably Thylacinus POTENS however its reported to have a longer snout so it’s potentially a whole new species unknown to science.

I know what I saw.10 years later, I'm now a park ranger at that same area and I was thrilled when someone told me they saw one too.

    My understanding is that Forrest wants to look for the Tasmanian Tiger but can't get funding even from the networks. He claims to have some solid leads in some very remote areas but hasn't had the opportunity to follow up properly dues to the pandemic and funding. I hope he gets a chance to go to new Guinea and follow up. If there is a chance that it is still out there then the clock is ticking away on our final chance to preserve the species.

    Fascinating to me in particular was the mention of a lady and her daughter in New Jersey sighting what they felt was a thylacine. Wow. I'm in SW Ohio and recently spotted three coyotes nearby where I live and walk early in the day (I know, not so unusual). Until recently, I also had not realized there were so many feral swine present in the southern U.S. states and even up into Ohio. Anyway, I love learning about these critters and am really enjoying your videos.

    I loved it! Watched the whole thing! I'd like share some thoughts for your consideration, but my motivation is to be helpful for your process, not make demands on your content.
    There might be diminishing returns after maybe about 40ish minutes?
    I enjoyed how thorough you were reading the accounts of sightings, but i think you could have picked fewer examples, and/or summarized more of them and then provided links for people to read them themselves.
    But, devil's advocate to my own point - one thing I found impactful about your video is that humanized the reporters of the sightings so they're not just "crazy big foot believers" (which I sometimes am too, i go back and forth.) Getting more context for what a reported sighting sounds like was really interesting!
    I feel like you could do an entire video about the process, analysis, common motivations, and likelihood of accuracy of sigitings of rare or extinct animals. Like, from a socialogical perspective.
    Thanks for reading 😊 and for creating! Amazing work you've given us!

    Great video as usual, I love your deep dives about extinct animals like this one or your dodo video.
    I especially liked your scientific approach in the section about the possibility of it being still alive.
    As for the deextinction, it is a complicated topic and I say that we better help the current living species instead of bring back new ones after so much time.
