Surely only a romantic old fool would believe
there is still a chance of surviving pockets of tigers left in the Tassie bush.
Ive been called worse.

 

[FAY]

hahaha I would love to think there was.With that experiment, they are just proving how they can be elusive. You just never know..

 

[SteveNT]

David Fleay was bitten on the bum by the last known Thylacine and carried the scars to the grave.

I believe a survey was taken of every barbed wire fenceline in Tasmania without a single TT hair being found.

Wish I was wrong but I think they're gone.

im hopeful

I'd rather pin hope on finding a gastric brooder first...

 

[SteveNT]

There is no better lesson in the value of preservation of biodiversity than the loss of that frog (gastric brooder).

Every person with a stomach ulcer or related issues found then lost a cure in that short story.

Those people that are against the oenpelli being bought into collections need to think about the tassie tiger's history or lack there of.

[SteveNT]

I'm not hearing from countrymen that Oenpellis are disapearing. I'll bet this information is from "stupid whitefellas".

Countrymen dont meet them often (diurnal v nocturnal) but they certainly see their signs.

id hope there are some there!
as usual the videos of 'tassie tigers' are blurry and far away .. no suprise
and that 2nd video is just ... awkward :S

 

[JasonL]

ha, if tassie tigers were being bred by private breeders, we would have removed all the stripes, had fully striped, and both in a dozen different colour varieties!! I don't think captive held animals represent much in the way of wild ones, a case of two in the bush is worth 1000,000 in the hand.

Did anyone here see the Aussie movie called The Hunter? Filmed in Tassie about a merc hired to find the Tassie tiger. Brilliant movie, check it out when it comes to DVD since it finished at the cinemas months ago.

In one of the sighting videos, 2009 one, the Tigers tail bends; however the Tigers tail was rigid.

It would be nice if thy were still out there though

 

[waruikazi]

I saw a thylacine in Arnhem Land...

 

[black_headed_mon]

just wondering if anyone has seen the 2 headed human down that way......???while were on strange sightings!!!!

 

[Poggle]

Tas, from another Tassie bloke dont stress bout the 2 headed comments, those victorions are cast off from Tas . I believe in all my hope there is some left. BUT WOW Bill has gotten hairy!

Remember this Tas, just because we dont see it doesnt mean it still doesnt exist. They may be extinct, hoping they are not. Not many people are down nears hells gate on south west.

 

[Nighthawk]

Like the NZ Moa... some days I like to allow myself to believe they're still around. Hope is a marvellous emotion to wash a tired spirit in.

 

[Kimberlyann]

I like to think there is some slight chance that some where there is, it make's me sick to think about what humans have done to this planet

 

[moosenoose]

I know! Where on earth do people buy a camera that takes such incredibly crap footage! Geeesh that digital stuff they are selling these days is terrible! :lol:

Add me to the romantics list hoping that they are still around. Such a spectacular creature, wiped out by human beings. Terrible!
