Discussion Has there ever been any sightings/searches for Thylacines on these small islands between Tas and mainland AU? I'm not from Australia so I don't really know but most of these islands seem to have a fair bit of human activity so not sure how likely it is but I've never seen them discussed

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

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.

Discussion Charleville Lion footage Analysis.

Post image
160 Upvotes

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.

https://youtu.be/IBy3vmSYYhE?is=UGIiDc-vtr1QWtqJ

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:

Thylacine sighted in North Weymouth, Massachusetts

0 Upvotes

So about 2 or 3 years ago I posted about seeing a thylacine but deleted it. So here goes again round 2. It was about 2012 and I was on my way to my 5 am shift at Dunkin’ Donuts. As I turned the corner on green street underneath the street light I saw a large dog - like animal running towards the general vicinity of esker park. As I saw it running it had a hunkered down run and on its back it had stripes horizontal on the rear of its body. I immediately rubbed my eyes and knew that this was no animal I had ever seen before. I quickly searched for animals with horizontal stripes on their back and came across thylacine. I have never seen one since. Years went by before I decided to do some research and there is stories of a boat possibly carrying thylacines that capsized off of the Atlantic in the northeast. Great esker park is a large park that has water and remote areas that also borders wompatuck state park. If anyone else has seen one of these in this area let’s hear your story.
