Tasmanian Tiger Caught on Camera? (New 2024)

What do you all think? Is this legit or a hoax?

I bet some random dude has a perfect picture of a thylacine that they think is just a wierd dog

Y’all remember like 5 years ago when people would say “pics or it didn’t happen” and now most photos are fake

The Gaming Beaver cooked.

I encountered a Drop Bear (killer koala) while hiking in a forest in the Blue Mountains, Australia. The Drop Bear was munching on a foreign tourist. I didn't want to disturb the killer koala's dinner so I just walked on by. I was safe as Drop Bears don't attack Aussies. Anyway, when I got home I took my pet crocodile for a walk.

I think he's scared to say that they hit it with the car, which for me explains why it was laying down and they wanting to take it to a vet and "rescue it"except when they got too close it ran away

Can you imagine if they brought a Thylacine into a Vet.😂

The fact that Henry's profile picture is Archesuchus's dog, and Archesuchus also created a poseable thylacine doll is proving it is a hoax

ARCHESUCHUS IS THE GUY TROLLING FORREST

Don't understand why wanting to remain anonymous is an issue. The internet is a fucked up place

the theory that they accidentally hit the animal with the car is interesting. explains why he's so restrained and akward about it

I believe him. I was born in Tasmania. My dad told me a story growing up, in the 50's he was driving back to the west coast in his truck & swears he came across a tassie tiger, he said it stopped in the middle of road, opened its mouth wide, then went back into the bush..

I live in Tasmania. His flight info is BS....we don't have direct flights from overseas!🤣

Forrest, I really think this father,son duo hit the Tasmanian Tiger because he said there were no other cars on the road for like a hundred miles. Also, the Tasmanian Tiger would not be laying on it's side in the grass in that position if it had not just been hit. I think the only way he got photos of it at all was because the animal was dazed from being hit because tigers are very elusive You heard him say the total encounter was about 30 seconds. Why would they automatically want to call a vet if they had not hit it. I believe the young man and his dad think they will be criticized for hitting the creature. Also, his personality is not unusual for todays youth. Thank you Forrest for sharing this story.

Dude found an animal extinct for 80 years and doesn’t have an ounce of excitement

The guy is lying his guts out.

Zach said the animal was lying partly on the road. Thats why they saw it. But the first photo shows the animal lying fully on the grass. He said he took the photo when "standing just in the road" and "I zoomed in, from abt 15 feet". So the animal was fully off the road when supposedly first seen.

As a Tasmanian, theres one major inconsistency ive noticed. The grass is way too green for the area the photo was taken. For the past few months it hasnt been raining much, so the grass is quite yellow/gold at the moment. The area I'm in is the "tropics" of tassie and its still fairly yellow at the moment. Ita mainly yellow/gold from the northwest to far below hobart. The entire southern midlands is yellow. Thats the main issue ive noticed.

As an ecologist, wildlife surveyor and someone who has spent a lot of time in Tassie I would say put the original photos on a google drive so people can see the metadata (although that can be manipulated). There are no direct international flights from the USA to Tassie. Anyone who goes to Tassie is confronted with images of Thylacines EVERYWHERE- it's the government logo, it's on beer bottles, it's used in advertising widely. The journey from Hobart to Stowport would take many hours, especially at night when there are animals all over the roads, including wombats which you DON'T want to hit, it's literally not safe to drive over 80km/h at night in Tasmania. There are bucketloads of camera traps deployed all over the place in Tassie for wildlife monitoring, Thylacine fanatics and farm security and NONE of these have picked up convincing images of Thylacines. I think it's likely that Thylacines persisted in Tassie until the 1970s, (after speaking to people in aged care who had seen them) but they were a creature of the open woodlands, not the dense forests. No road kill, none shot, none on quality camera traps. I call this a hoax, sadly.

Im sorry but ARCHESUCHUS is trolling you real hard.
