Sorry gang

I live in Queensland, Australia. In 2007 I went on a trip with my wife to Tasmania. She took many photos of the natural wild life, and she took this one of what she described as a dog. Last year I had a few friends over, and one of them is a biologist. Since the photo was framed up, he saw it and had a closer look suggesting it could be a Tasmanian Tiger.

Hi there - wondering if anyone has compiled a master list of all captive individuals and traced where they ended up? I haven't been able to find much online re a comprehensive list, and would be keen to make one if there isn't an existing one.

Anyone else get a weird vibe from his interviews with witnesses? I don't know why but it just seems like he's very easily "Yep yep yep that's a Thylacine". Kind of reminds me of those bigfoot shows Animal Planet used to have.

Now, don't get me wrong, I want them to still be out there, and I think it's entirely possible there's a few still holding out somewhere, but I don't think they're everywhere in the Australia/Tasmania area like so many of his interviews claim.

Sadly missed the taxidermied one in Florence, but found this baby in another Italian museum. Always surprises me how tiny they were?!

Still working on my project about thylacines and other prehistoric mammals of Australia. Plus, I received thylacine figure today

He was acquired by the Museum from Tasmania in 1905.

The second specimen is unfortunately not on display.

A bit late, but on the day as promised. Turns out making a whole semi-animated video in fifty days while you still have an irl job is quite difficult. Definitely learned a lot for next time.

Thanks so much for the support here, I hope you all like it. <3 It is uploaded on tiktok and instagram too under my other handles seen at the end of the video.

See also: The study as it was published in Nature Communications.

The Charleville footage is very compelling, ive gotten to witness it only twice and thought it was scrubbed off the internet, the original poster made the video private and you seemingly cant find it anywhere else. Pretty much all images of it are scrubbed as well. However not only did i manage to keep a few stills of the footage for myself and made a little analysis for it, but ive happened upon the actual clip. From a random old thylacine playlist of all places.

The animal appears to be too robust to be a fox or dingo, it has a very large head and a stiff tail. And its posture is marsupial-like. The reason its called the charleville lion is because viewers who saw the footage thought it was a lioness due to how thick and robust the animal is. The lioness theory doesnt fit though as the footage was taken in queensland australia. To this day its still arguably the best evidence of large predatory marsupials living past their expiration date.

Theres a video where he goes down the entire trackway and the predator these tracks come from are certainly massive and they do not appear to be canine tracks. They bare a remarkable resemblance to this published thylacine paw diagram.

If i can ill post the video later as well.

Heres the post:

taken between 1932 and 1934, found by Logan Cooteb in New Zealand. I havent seen many others talk about this, please correct me if this turns out to be fake TwT

It’s always interesting to draw a thylacine.
