3 Supposedly Extinct Animals That Could Still Be Alive

[@asharkhan8175]

I feel very proud that my country has the most tigers in the world the Royal Bengal tiger. In 2006 we had around 1500 tigers but now there are around 3500 tigers in the wild. My nation is doing a lot for the conservation of this magnificent cat. And my state also has the most tiger increase from around 170 to now 360 individuals in the wild in my state

[@Godzilla00X]

Thank you for the compassion you are showing such beautiful creatures

[@Kyle_919]

This makes me happy. Tigers are my favorite wild animal and to see their numbers increasing at a healthy rate really gives me hope that they’ll recover

[@Idklol208]

[@Pedro-kd4sm]

I love this i hate that there are animals that can never be seen again like jamaican monkeys when i was young I always wanted to see one but i never understood that they were extinct until i did projects on them

[@J242D]

That’s awesome!! ever seen one :0

[@RUBPROMAL]

I have said this before, but in case of the Japanese otters, I think it would be the best to introduce Eurasian otter in Japan. It would be wonderful if the Japanese Otter would still be around, but the chance would be very slim and even than the amount of healthy individuals that could reproduce would be very small. It would be better to introduce a similar species that can take over the empty niche and recover an ecosystem. And when you are still at it, also introduce wolves (at least in Hokkaido) and Californian Sea lions

[@AashaugNorway]

Eurasia other can recover but it can destroy the ecosystem too, after many fish in japan are over fished and close to extict.

[@TheSoulCrisis]

@@AashaugNorway Yeah Japan loves fishing........and they were super aggressive whalers too. It would face immense fishing competition with humans, still I like the idea of introducing similar species to fill in niches since that's how it was originally. We are driving so many species to the edge of extinction over time. Animals get hunted for sport or out of fear, but it's really not fair to them.

[@RoseNZieg]

oddly enough there's rumors of people hearing wolf cries in the mountains of Japan. there are other tantalizing clues but nothing concrete.

[@kevinpoe8137]

There was a possible Japanese wolf sighting in a Japanese national park in 1996, the animal came within several feet of the witness (probably out of curiosity to figure out what he was) and the witness took several photos of the animal as well, bob gymlin did a video on the Japanese wolf and when he showed the photos, I barely contain my excitement, because of how crystal clear they were

Fun Fact: There's more captive tigers in the state of Texas than there are tigers in the wild globally.

[@Kyle_919]

I lived in Florida for a few years and I worked a few construction jobs in the Merritt Island nature preserve. There are so many rare species on the island such as the West Indian manatee, wood storks and the gopher tortoise that it wouldn’t surprise me if the Ivory billed woodpecker made a home there and is slowly recovering. I’ve seen a handful of woodpeckers out there as well but I could never tell them apart

[@aryanbarnwal8677]

Japanese Otter and Ivory-Billed Woodpecker have a higher chance of being alive today. For Javan Tiger, its very hard to believe.

[@clmmeerts8467]

The tasmanian tiger could be on this list . They are searching for them not only on tasmania but there are sightings on Papoea new Guinee as wel

[@Dundee.]

mate just bloody dont it is GONE enough is enough when it comes to the thilacine topic it is 100 percent gone. thousands of people have tried with 0 substantial factual evidence. sorry mate but i am over this one being bloody bought up. there's a reason they are trying to clone it. its clearly extinct

[@amx1820]

I believe Tasmanian tigers will be rediscovered in the remote regions of Papua New Guinea

[@AFloridaSon]

Good possibility, but there are more sightings in Tasmania and mainland Australia than in PNG. There's also casts made of paw prints in Australia that are presumed to be from the thylacine. There are some expert academia type that believe that they could have existed in Australia at least up until the 70s or 80s. There's some interesting photos, although none are perfect enough to be conclusive. But, there is lots of circumstantial evidence, to suggest that they're still there in Australia. And, there's lots of Aussies who are actively looking for them. It's only a matter of time.

[@matthewzito6130]

I remember seeing a video clip of a supposed Tasmanian Tiger a while back. It was a Red Fox with mange.

[@meikahidenori]

​@@AFloridaSonthere are still areas in Australia that are very much rarely explored as it's difficult to get in and look around (even here in my state of Victoria) so the possibility there are animals still alive are not unfounded, especially since some speices are getting rediscoverd or newly discovered in those places.

[@anniehill9909]

Sadly, with the present rate of extinction being what it is, and particularly bearing in mind the size and habitat requirements of both the otter and tiger, I would be astonished if either were still around. The woodpecker is marginally more likely, as there appears to be some suitable habitat extant and they weren't subject to deliberate persecution.

[@al145]

Could probably do a much more depressing video about "supposedly still extant animals that are probably extinct", with a sadly much larger list...

Otters and Woodpeckers i can imagine to be difficult to spot but.. a 150kg, 2m tiger would alot harder to miss i reckon

[@Weeklongwind647]

Keep in mind, that the ivory billed woodpecker also went extinct due to a airborne fungi known as chestnut blight from Asia which was affecting American chestnut trees. American chestnut trees are now functionally extinct. Much of their population relied on these trees for homes and large spaces.

Helping the protection of the Sumatran tiger would be a good way to help Indonesia not loose another. So few zoos are able to have a breeding population to help reintroduce animals back and the places where they live would benefit from better education & protective sanctuaries.

I think the South China Tiger has a better chance of still existing in the wild than the Javan Tiger, but it's still pretty unlikely. Other possible, but highly unlikely cats include the Zanzibar Leopard, the Barbary Leopard and the Formosan Clouded Leopard.

[@TheSoulCrisis]

Did you mean the barbary lion? African leopard comes up when I search barbary leopard. I saw something saying that clouded leopard was spotting in 2019, nearly 40 years after anyone really saw one. I think it's possible cause they stay in deep forests, avoiding humans and spending a lot of time in trees.

[@matthewzito6130]

@@TheSoulCrisis I don't know if the Barbary Leopard is/was a distinct sub-species or just a North African population of the same sub-species found elsewhere in Africa. Either way their range includes/included the Atlas Mountains and surrounding area where they lived alongside Barbary Lions, Atlas Bears, Barbary Sheep, Barbary Red Deer, Barbary Macaques, Striped Hyenas, African Wolves, etc.

Video Idea: de-extinction projects that would be beneficial to the ecosystem.

[@AFloridaSon]

Companies like Colossal Biosciences, that are looking to bring back extinct animals, are "for profit". They have invested that they will need to pay back. They won't make an animal that is 100% the same, although they may look and act the same. But, the companies will have parents on them, sand they will be regulated by the company, because it's an income for them, and they're not going to want others breeding them, and they will first be sold to zoos and private collectors. Even if they succeed, it will be decades _after_ they succeed, before we see any of them roaming freely in the wild. They will just be more oddities for humans to pay to see, but the animals will pay the ultimate price by living in cages for our enjoyment.

Komodo dragons wouldn't be invasive in Australia because its ancestors once thrived there I know the Komodo may outcompete the native monitor lizards already in Australia, but it would help control some of the invasive species in Australia, which is in dire need of more land predators As well as this, it would help save this animal from the grips of extinction, unlike all 3 of the creatures in this video This is my opinion , and Komodo Island is off the coast of Australia

As an American with a real fascination with Australia, I'm not proud of this, but it's very possible that some soldiers from the US may have let some panthers loose in Australia during WW2. There's enough sightings, and it's plausible enough to believe there is indeed panthers in Australia.

What many people overlook is the basics of populations. Even if there were a few of these species around, they would still be functionally extinct. Firstly the habitat would not exist to allow much, if any population growth, Second the genetic diversity would be very low, and so they would be more prone to the effects of recessive traits like low fecundity or even sterility. I would love for the ivory-billed woodpecker to still be around, but I do not believe it is. I think conclusive evidence would have been had by now. None of the so-called evidence I have seen holds up.
