Are they still alive?

I found an awareness group for the thylacine and wondered why they aren't able to produce any evidence?

    For a study published last month in the journal Science of the Total Environment, Dr. Brook’s team studied 1,237 Tasmanian tiger reports from 1910 onward. It classified these reports in terms of credibility. More than half of the reports came from the general public. The team also found spikes of sightings that were probably linked to high-profile thylacine news in Australia — what Dr. Brook’s team called “recency bias.”

    Some reports between 1910 and 1937 were of confirmed captures or kills, with the last fully wild photographed kill occurring in 1930. Dr. Brook’s team considered another four reports of kills and captures/releases from 1933-1937 legitimate.

    For the following eight decades, 26 deaths and 16 captures were reported but not verified, as were 271 reports made by people that Dr. Brook’s team considered experts: former trappers, outdoorsmen, scientists or officials. These types of high-quality reports from experts peaked in the 1930s and started to fall in the 1940s.

    People who had definitely trapped or seen thylacines before the 1930s, and who presumably knew what they were looking at, had either died or retired by the 1970s. “That whole pool of expertise kind of dries up by the 1970s,” Dr. Brook said.

    The best quality report after that, he said, came from a park officer who saw one in 1982. A model based on all these reports reveals Tasmanian tigers likely went extinct between the 1940s and 1970s, with a smaller chance they persisted in remote areas until the 1980s or even the early 2000s.

    These are two of the most convincing video footage of the Thylacine. Judge it for yourselves

    Both are filmed in Western Australia. You can see both animals have the weird gait, somewhat of a cripplewalk indicative of marsupial locomotion. It could be they are just two foxes with mange (which cause hair loss) and are both injured, but it seems like the two animals there taken 10 years apart are the same animal.

    Unfortunately, if they aren't gone from mainland Australia now they might just well have. The 2020 wildfire season in Australia is estimated to kill literal billion of animals. I'm kinda hoping that there are some thylacine left in Papua New Guinea jungles.

      So there's currently about as much evidence for thylacines still being alive as there is for bigfoot. I guess that settles it.

      I want to believe, but the first video is absolutely not a thylacine. Ankle is far too high up on the hindlegs.

      Why would there be any? There has never been thylacine sighting there. Even the locals never seen them. The only evidence we have of Thylacine in New Guinea is a Thylacine fossil from the Holocene, 8500 years ago. They are likely extinct in New Guinea and mainland Australia before European explorers came.

    This is what literally everyone above is arguing. Show them video and gait analysis, they say it's a dingo with a condition. Etc. Etc. When we get a dead body, it'll be a hoax, they'll say, because no scientific group will accept it. Having an endangered species on the land will endanger profits, you see.

    I doubt it. It's a large, well known mammal, not a shrub or a frog or something like that where a small, isolated population could go unnoticed for a long time.

    There's no chance that thylacines still exist.
    There hasn't been a confirmed siting in a century or so.
    And these days everybody has smartphone cameras on them at all times, and we can do DNA on scat, blood, bones, hides, etc. They're just gone.
    And remember, if you think they've survived and will continue survive, there can't just be one or two or three out there. There has to a viable breeding population of perhaps hundreds. And if there were hundred of the things, someone would have caught one on camera by now.
    On the Australian mainland they were almost instantly outcompeted/exterminated by dingoes. Dingoes are just a breed of scrawny Asian domestic dog (Canis familiaris) that Asian fishermen dropped off at the the very top of the Australian continent only a few thousand years ago.
    Those poor little marsupials just couldn't survive dog and man.

    I'd like to believe they are, but really no one knows.
    They didn't go extinct that long ago, and its not unheard of for very small isolated populations to outlast their species' announced extinction.
    Most of the evidence ends up being someone who knew someone who thought they saw something in the woods once.

      Sure, but it's always something small like bugs or frogs. Not a dog-sized marsupial.
      But then again, how many times have you seen a fox or coyote in the woods? Not in the suburbs where they're used to humans, but out in the actual middle of nowhere. They smell you a mile away and disappear accordingly.

        I’ve seen coyotes multiple times in the woods camping at night. Their eyes would glare from the fire, they weren’t scared.

        Not if they're upwind.
        I'm not saying anecdotal evidence is good, but that's pretty much all the tasmanian tiger rumors are.
        I give it more of a pass than bigfoot hunters because its the difference between a magical fantasy, and an animal that went extinct in 1936 and wishful thinking.

        Too many to count, and I've seen wolves at least five times. If thylacines were still alive today we would know.

    Well I’ve still seen wolves and coyotes prevalent in United States and considering most urban Australia is on the coasts, that it’s possible they are elusive enough to not be counted for.

        You're right, still, they are pretty large and would have to leave evidence of some kind. If they are out there it's probably a small population
