Mr5150 Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Hi Everyone The Thylacine Awareness Group has just released some thermal footage of what they claim is a thylacine on the mainland. What do you reckon it is? Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH_5VGkvsA4&lc=Ugw-eiZohe0NTHR8Pr54AaABAg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncs Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 The problem with every animal conspiracy theory that I've ever heard of is that they insist on relying on absolutely crap, ambiguous, explainable footage. This is almost certainly a fox or a dog. Why leap directly to bigfoot/yowee/panther/chupacabra/lock ness monster/abominable snowman/aliens/gebus/thylacine?? Just stoooooopid. I wonder if these groups are a bunch of people who don't believe but keep putting crap like this up because they think everybody else in the group does 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there are a bunch of crazy/deluded people as well, then they get in a big group and it becomes an echo chamber. This is clearly a fox. I'd like to hold out hope that they exist, but after seeing a taxidermy in Hobart Museum last year there is no way something that big could have eluded people for close to 100 years - especially with so many people looking for it both actively and with cameras. There would have to be roadkill or a hunter/farmer accidently shoot one by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe.358win Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Too many hunters, trail cams, and other bush users. If they were around they would be found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxdog Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Looks like a juvenile fox to me. I wonder how many foxes "old mate" has seen, trapped, shot or skinned to say it is a fox, probably the same amount as the thylacines he believes in. I hope that is not the best they can do to justify any government funding if receiving any. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamHuntVic Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Thylacines and panthers have that remarkable ability to blur photos and videos. I've seen many of them, amazing animals. Grant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
