“Extinct” animal makes a comeback… probably.
Newser –
It’s been eight decades since the Tasmanian tiger, a carnivorous marsupial, was declared extinct after the last of its kind died in a zoo in 1936. But there’s new buzz after two separate, apparently credible sightings were reported in northern Australia, and scientists from James Cook University believe that they have teeth. “These animals, I’ve never seen anything like them before in my life,” says one purported witness, per the Telegraph. “They were dog-shaped—I had a shepherd with me so I certainly know what dogs are about—and in the spotlight I could see they were tan (and) had stripes on their sides.” Professor Bill Laurance is deploying 50 camera traps in hopes of capturing footage of the mysterious animal, also known as thylacine, reports the Guardian. Two other recent examples of endangered species have excited conservationists across the globe.
- A survey conducted by Freeland and Panthera recorded a new community of rare Indochinese tigers with at least six cubs in eastern Thailand, reports the BBC. Conservationists estimate that 250 tigers in this subspecies remain and credit anti-poaching efforts in Thailand for the rise in new populations.
- For the first time in decades, evidence of two panther kittens was recorded north of the Caloosahatchee River in Florida, says National Geographic. While balancing conservation efforts with the demands of the growing human population in this region is an ongoing struggle, this new generation of panthers shows that preserving their habitats yields results.
This is complete utter bullshit!….I met her and dated her for 2 years and she denied being Tasmanian….AWW, the lawyers!….
Big whoop. They never were extinct in the first place, you idiots just didn’t look too hard, now did you!
@willysgoatgruff: She told me she was Indonesian!
Lying she-devil…!
😉
Dang Vietvet….I can honestly say that she was never in my donesian….
I can’t play with the master (Vietvet), but ya’ll got to admit that was kind of a king to rook 5 kind of move…..
That’s a dog. Just sayen
That’s a starving wolf who left the pack. A John McCain/ Lindsey Graham type.
Dat’s one ugree bitch!
They’ve been around, people have claimed to see them eating their livestock and pets. Nobody else sees them because the tigers don’t have instagram accounts and they don’t go on CNN. Same goes for the Oar Fish and the Giant Squid.
In the meantime, everybody’s denying bigfoot exists, but she was in DC for 8 years and people kept trying to pass her off as a human. Pfft.
I heard the Dodo bird made a come back, then it lost the election. It was last seen being dragged up steps while appearing perfectly healthy to the MSM.
I hope they’re right and I hope the government cordons the entire area off but sure as hell morons will start tracking through there with cameras and guns to take a picture or shoot one for posterity. Seal it off except for a few scientists and trackers so as not to upset the environment while they work to bring bact the numbers.
@MJA-Not everybody.
Carnivorous marsupial, hey?
MJA. The boys and I were watching “The Hobbit” the other night and this HUGE nasty Orc appears and my oldest goes, “Look Dad. It’s Michelle Obama.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’ll probably turn out that the Tasmanian tiger’s diet consists entirely of Ivory-billed Woodpeckers*.
(* – Ask any birdwatcher.)
Shot, cleaned, and ate a dodo last fall. Tastes like condor.
Now if we can only make RINOs extinct.
Itz name iz Hillary.
flip,
Nah. Between RepubliTards and DildoCrats, RINOs self-replicate too fast to become extinct.
That’s a Chupacabra, and Australia’s a damn long swim from where they come from.
Be vewy vewy quiet, I’m hunting WINOs. Uh-huhuhuhuhuhuh.
