The supposedly extinct ‘Tasmanian Tiger’ has reportedly been spotted on several different occasions in the last few years. As The New York Post reports:
Details of the sightings, which span from 2016 to this year in the island state of Tasmania, are documented in a report by the country’s Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment.
Sightings of the mammal, which looks like a combination of a dog, cat and fox, were reported as recently as August — when a man recalled seeing a “Tassie Tiger on his land 7 years ago,” the government report noted.

A month before that, a hiker reported seeing a footprint on Sleeping Beauty mountain that he later Googled “when he got home and believes it was a Tasmanian Tiger footprint.”
And last year, two people said they were “100% certain that the animal they saw was a thylacine” after one allegedly walked in front of their car.
The last Tasmanian tiger was supposed to have died in a zoo in 1936. Sightings like the ones recently documented in the Australian government’s reports, however, may force the scientific community to revaluate that theory.
Sadly, the joking comments are close to the truth. SOME scientists, not all, believe THEY are smarter than God, & all the rest of humanity. While they MAY be smarter, book-wise, than most of humanity, they are NOT smarter than God. And, for those who don’t believe there IS a God, your choice. If I’m wrong, & you’re right, when I die, I won’t know that I was wrong. BUT~what if I’m RIGHT, & you’re WRONG, better keep a jug of water, & a fan close.
Extinct, like we’ll all be after 12 years if AOC has her way. I’m betting that I’ll still be around and kicking. Then I’ll be listening some other loon with some other doomsday prediction. Good for the Tasmanian Tiger to be laying low, who needs the stress.
Ah, yet another extinction… not. Or so it seems.
Here kitty-kitty-kitty!
Just goes to show that just when we think we have it all figured out Nature throws us a knuckle ball.
The thylacine, now extinct, is one of the largest known carnivorous marsupials, evolving about 4 million years ago. The last known live animal was captured in 1933 in Tasmania, and died in 1936.
They are actually space aliens who have been able to conceal themselves using a cloaking device. Zorrk, one of the young ones, apparently slipped out of the den without being cloaked.
Once upon a time, it was setteled science that the earth was flat, or so the story went. Seems as if the passage of time tends to unsettle, setteled science at times.
Then it was settled science that global warming could be avoided by keeping carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, which was equally ridiculous. But all of the Democrats running for President will bankrupt our country and the world to “save us from burning up.” For 40 years we’ve been hearing this bunk, and we’re still here.
Time for us to put our collective foot down and stop this nonsense. CO2 is critical for life to exist on the planet and fossil fuels have nothing to do with creating climate and weather. The main factor influencing weather and climate patterns is the sun and depends on earth`s position relative to the sun at any given time. Climate change occurs because of changes in earth`s solar orbit, not because of fossil fuels. Changes in earth`s solar orbit along with alterations of earth`s axial tilt are responsible for warming and cooling of the planet.
They don’t call it global warming anymore, it’s climate change. A town in Mexico just got a lot a hail so they say it’s climate change. Long Island, N. Y. had glaciers long ago. Now that’s climate change.
Mountain lions were also no longer said to live in Pennsylvania, but I saw one several years ago. I did not know at that time that it supposedly did not exist here, or I would have reported it. They have a very long distinctive tail. Someone reported that they too had seen one in the same general vicinity a few months previous to my sighting. My son’s friend saw a family of them on his homestead about 45 miles from where I live. Yeah, there may not be many, but there are still some mountain lions in Pennsylvania.
I hope they are alive and well,and make a comeback They are a interesting animal which to me looks to be more in the dog family than Tiger
Hmm. “The last Tasmanian tiger was supposed to have died in a zoo in 1936. Sightings like the ones recently documented in the Australian government’s reports, however, may force the scientific community to revaluate that theory.” “Blasphemy! It’s ‘Settled Science’. Everyone except ‘Deniers’ knows you can’t argue with settled science. Right?”
Relax, Myron, it’s just another side effect of that damn Climate Change
My exact first thought.
Those people must be mistaken. Science said they are extinct and science is never wrong. That’s why it’s called science. Science proclaims many absolutes, scientists by the hundreds even write letters in support of, well science. So extinction deniers need to admit they’re stupid and just shut up. Tasmanian tiger. Get real.
