[@noneofyourbuisness1679]

Personally, I think we should definitely bring back recently extinct animals - animals whose demise, like the thylacine, dodo, and quagga, can conclusively be traced back to humans. I think these would raise the least amount of resistance and have the fewest problems in regard to feasibility and ecological upheaval. Certainly, a lot less than trying to bring back a mammoth, an animal that is not only huge, but whose habitat no longer exists or is in decline.

[@realtalk6195]

That should be done decades or a century down the line when there's better tech, instead of now and creating weird hybrids or defective individuals.

[@teawrecks1243]

The problem is we don't know how the extinct animals lived. Even if we do clone them, where will they go? Just live a short, sad life in some laboratory or an attraction paraded in a cage? Everyone keeps bringing up Jurassic Park in these kinds of discussions but really the real victim here is the cloned animal brought into a world it no longer exists in.

[@richardbidinger2577]

The thylacine is nothing more than a pipe dream. We don't have a comparable species that could birth one let alone raise it. I'm afraid it's gone the way of the dinosaurs. The other two can still be done, along with quite a few others.

[@jiggnorth3593]

6:31 It always amazes me whenever I see pictures like this where someone is so proud of a kill they just made. Especially whenever it's a very special animal and the last of it's kind.

People are conditioned to see some animals as a disease rather than a living thing, it doesn't sit right with me when I hear people's disgust with various species like snakes or lizards or even mice and rats. Yeah, sometimes they need to be controlled a bit due to causing damage, but it's not fair how humans encroach on their territory then have the audacity to label them a "pest" that needs eradication.

[@DaveTexas]

@@KassMeierable no, there can be no "theory" about that. A "theory" is a scientific concept that has been rigorously tested by multiple professionals, all of whom have reached the same conclusion. There are no scientists or zoologists who have proven that any thylacines have ever been found in the Western Hemisphere. An uneducated person might have created a hypothesis about thylacines being seen outside of Australia, but since no scientists have ever seen any evidence for this, it can only remain an unproven hypothesis.

[@AmbiCahira]

However, as the video mentioned, we're super lucky to have enough specimens to eventually clone them! We could give them a comeback that way, at the very least on a small island.

[@bgonzales817]

Forrest Galante believes Papua New Guinea could potentially have some of the last in the world. Look up wild times podcast on here.

[@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013]

Sadly, while it's entirely possible they continued to survive well past the date we think they went extinct, there is basically no chance any of them are still around. The bounties posted for evidence of one since the 1980s have more or less sealed it. People will do a *lot* for a million dollars, or 1.75 million for that matter. And the widespread deployment of camera traps across tasmania in the 21st century without any photos is confirmation. Similar measures have helped us rediscover elusive carnivores elsewhere.

[@jurassictyrantkingYT]

Australia and Tasmania are stretch for the thylacine to be alive in those areas of the world. Papua New Guinea is only 10% discovered land mass and the majority of it is mountains and rainforest and this was once connected to Australia and Tasmania during the last ice age. Why am I talking about this instead of Australia or Tasmania, because thylacine fossils were discovered on Papua New Guinea and there have been sightings by the locals who say that a wolf with stripes lives on the island alongside them and out of all the canines and the images of the singing dogs, they looked at all the pictures they pointed out only to one and that's the thylacine as it is very close to the one that they saw, as they call it a wolf with stripes. So if any chance of the thylacine to come back it would have to be Papua New Guinea since there's new species constantly being discovered there and this island has a lot of potential of rediscovering a potentially extinct species like the thylacine or Tasmanian tiger. However since most of this land mass can't be accessed by foot and it's going to be very hard to prove it.

[@bleddynwolf8463]

unless we get a live specimen, it can never be proven

[@MyBubbleInSpace]

That would be really cool though!

Not just by that papua new Guinea is one of the most difficult to acess because of the widespread rape culture and canibalism in the natives cultures.

You can blame COMMERCIALLY MOTIVATED hunting, but the basis was the opposite of hunting per se - namely farming.

[@nancycurtis3230]

I’ve recently seen a video that mentioned a possible Thylacine presence New Guinea. Not saying it’s legit just that the issue has surfaced recently in New Guinea.

The two things that come to mind when I think of the interior of New Guinea are remote and inaccessible.

[@ghostratsarah]

@@greghelton4668 their information is taken straight from Wikipedia. Whether the thylocine is absolutely literally extinct in any area or not, they are currently classified as extinct across the board. Like how the Koala was recently (after 2019 and 2020 wildfire seasons) classified as extinct, because they were believed to have been knocked down to population levels that were unsustainable. But shortly after, it was found the wildfires hadn't destroyed as much of their habitat as estimated, and they were returned to 'not extinct' status.

nice story (thumbs up from me) its a sad story even thro its exstinct its still a iconic tasmania icon. it appears on coins and coat of arms of Tasmania. Its a sad story a warning to keep animals a lot more safely in the future. Becasue of the mouth cancer the Tasmania Devil could end up like the Tiger. It would be amazing to see if they could bring the Tigers back by cloning but they would need to work out the ethics on it.

[@johnmead8437]

Like Bigfoot, the majority of seekers and report seem to be fabricated misinformation. It is simple to find many common animals in sometime blurry photos represented as thyalcines, even as definitive proof. Just no useful backup evidence, somehow all the positive scats don't get reliable DNA tests, often attributed to the conspiracy the Government and science follow (and these entities can be obstructive/dismissive unreasonably, egos and predetermined attitudes exist).

[@faithtekavei2579]

My deceased step-uncle saw one once on the west coast of Tasmania around the 1970s or 80s, where the other claimed sightings have occurred too. He was driving one the dark with a mate in the passenger seat, I can't remember if he said it was early morning or night - and a Thylacine crossed the road in front of them. He just turned to his friend and said "nobody would believe us." The other known sighting in the area was in the papers around the same time period, when a mad was travelling the west coast delivering newspapers - another old woman had an interview here once too and lived right in the whoop whoops and could hear their yips sometimes, but wouldn't reveal her area to protect them. so, who knows?

Their nearest relative is the numbat, an insectivore that lives in semi arid areas. But numbats are too small.

While on the road between Strahan and Queenstown on the west coast, both my wife and I clearly saw a large dog like animal come out of the bush, cross the road and, with one leap, climb up the embankment (at least 2 - 2.5 metres high) on the other side. Unfortunately, it was too far away & too quick to get a detailed look but, the animal in question was too big to be a feral cat or dog. Until my dying day, I'm convinced that what we saw was a Thylacine. True story.

WOW it's so cute though 🥰

[@Ispeakthetruthify]

As tragic as the Thylacine extinction was on Tasmania, it's nothing compared to how tragic the extinction of the Aboriginal Tasmanians was. Many people don't even know there were native Tasmanians. And they only lasted about 20 years after first European contact.

[@miguelpedraentomology6080]

this is about animals not human history. technicaly arboriginal tasmanians are not extinct, the species still lives on

[@Ispeakthetruthify]

@@miguelpedraentomology6080 Of course this video is about an animal, but lord forbid you actually learn something you probably didn't know. And yes: The original, full blooded, dark skinned people of Tasmania...are indeed extinct. And have been since the late 1800's. There are hundreds of ethnic groups throughout the world that have gone extinct recently. And many of those extinctions have happened within the last 500 years. And those are only the ones we know about, and were documented.

Humans suck. Bring back the thyla

@@Ispeakthetruthify SPECIES! all currently living humans are the SAME SPECIES! There needs to a distinction made between species extinctions and population demises. A term that used to be used when I did my Bio degree decades ago, but I don't hear much today is: extirpation Here: Extinction: a species no longer exists anywhere Extirpation: local extinction, at least one other population of the species still persists in other areas So though the unique population of Tasman aboriginals and their culture is gone, the HUMAN species is very much still widely extant. Have we lost something because of the disappearance of this group of people? ABSOLUTELY! The human epic is about ALL peoples and ethnicities and cultures. We have lost so much of that. But biologically speaking, we are doing VERY WELL indeed. TOO well!

@@rickkwitkoski1976 OMG.... where do we begin? While you're trying to sound smart, condescending, and clever....you obviously can't comprehend what I wrote, or you didn't read both of my my posts: Of course we humans as a SPECIES, are not extinct. Nobody said we were, and we're obviouosly NOT extinct. I can't believe I have to write this(sigh). But the native Tasmanians, the Palawa, the ethnic group of people that the Europeans encountered when they first reached Tasmania...the ethnic group/race of people that had been living there for THOUSANDS of years...are indeed extinct. That group of people no longer exists on the planet. That is the definition of EXTINCTION. In no way, shape or form....does that indicate the the entire human race is extinct. But this group of people are. And maybe you should go back to school, because you'd find out that many ethnic groups/races/cultures of people around the world, have indeed gone extinct. It's been happening since our beginnings on this planet, and it has definitely eccelerated within the last 500 or so years.

The University of Queensland as received a grant to search for the Tassie tiger in North QLD rainforests after reported sightings and there is also a group in South Australia conducting research to determine if it is still alive there also.

Great video. I hope to see a video about the Quagga. Don't know much about it other than it being extinct.

[@HShango]

I'd love to see Thylacine in my life time in the zoo or in the wild enjoying life.

[@ConstantChaos1]

I would too, I know its impossible but I want to believe its possible

[@Pebbledudee]

If they get it’s blood or something i think they can revive it

[@ConstantChaos1]

@@Pebbledudee yup, enough dna can be used to make a new one that being said current cloning tech is not the best, it would have a shortened lifespan

Dingos and Aboriginal tribes drove them to extinction on the mainland, same story on Tasmania except for Dingos, and then the Europeans showed up in the last 250 years and it's all their fault? Why are Natives so infallible?

[@russellknight7729]

Totally right, the three mainland apex predators (Thylacine, Thylacaleo & Tas Devil) all extinct on the mainland during the reign of the indigenous culture. We have all been gaslit on the benevolence of the Aust Aboriginal culture & its effect on the ecology.

[@myacct8304]

Because Europeans did in 250 years what aboriginal tribes and dingoes couldn’t do in 4000+.

[@R.Lennartz]

@@myacct8304 So you're saying Europeans are superior?

They are treated as so, despite killing off all the mega fauna and burning down most of the bush on the mainland (turning the majority of central Australia into desert. Down here they were wiped out almost entirely, the remnants being bred out of existence. Breeding them out was the plan for the mainland, too, but that fell through. The remnants have been treated somewhat unfairly for a fair while, but many still have rather poor living conditions as a result of Chinese ownership of water sources.

My heart breaks for the loss of this magnificent animals and all the others who have come and gone. 🤍

I love you, Thylacine! Please come to Brazil!!!!
