Wouldn't be surprised if it was in an isolated location/s and has evolved & adapted to the landscape, food situation etc. I hope it's still alive and that one day soon the proper people will find it & begin a successful breeding etc program to bring it back.

Whether it's KZbin, Netflix, or Hulu we need Extinct or Alive back. In only about 20 episodes he proved 8 previously deemed extinct animals were still alive. Including the Galapagos Tortoise which you know was a legendary rediscovery. Forrest you are a living legend my guy, hope we get to see you back in the field soon bruv. Best to do it since Steve 🙏🏾

So if I am understanding this correctly. This woman named Rose, knowing full well the scientific magnitude of modern day evidence of thylacines, went to a super duper remote village in Papua New Guinea. Specifically to talk with a man who claims to have raised a striped dog. Found a lower jaw bone that resembeled that of a thylacine but didnt bring it back? In stead she took one photo? That seems odd to me

[@imlivinlikelarry6672]

Exactly, and why wouldn't he be able to show a picture of the jaw? And the fact that he doesn't touch on and give any rationale for these things makes it even more suspicious, I'd think they are extremely obvious questions to ask

[@rickjustus6416]

Seems like bullshit to me.

[@MR_Shima]

As a scientist, I find this very unscientific! 😅 I mean. Why not even take a DNA sample? You can get DNA out of anything really nowadays, did it myself. I hate to say it, but it seems like a nice story to tell to believing investors and nothing else.

[@donnievance1942]

@ma I have to say, it sounds suspicious to me too. The woman who found the jaw bone was supposedly some kind of scientific person studying the singing dogs. It seems very unlikely to me that such a person wouldn't have glommed onto that bone and taken every possible measure to get it back for study and confirmation, especially after all the effort and time that had supposedly been taken to find it in the first place.

[@baz77a]

Indeed, seems a bit odd for someone within the biological scientific field working on the research of another species did not comprehend the importance of evidence. Perhaps she wasn't a scientist but a local from the area or contact the university used for field access to the remote areas. Anyhow, I am of the opinion that the Thylacine is most definitely extinct on the mainland of Australia and Tasmania, the fact that we only get first hand or second hand stories of people seeing or hearing of strange noises and the absolute absence of anything, scat, fur, bones, skin, clear photo and dna fragments over a long stretch of many decades is a sign that this wonderful species has indeed met its doom and the original, natural genetic lineage of the Australian species has been lost forever through the hands of humans. If the Thylacine does still exist, I do think hope would indeed be in the highlands of the island of Papua as both it and mainland Australia were connected once and share many species. For that I wish Forrest Galante the best of luck.

[@CALIEN7K]

[@SlothOfTheSea]

For real! My first instinct would’ve been to safeguard it. It literally was the single most important piece of evidence. Alongside the fact that the thylacine supposedly died and was subsequently eaten? It’s disheartening but intriguing nonetheless.

No that's called BS and you would be a fool to think they actually found fresh thylo bones and left them there.

[@brianjones3191]

[@montanateri6889]

@peterlynchchannel Frustrating, oh, sure. You know, the jaw bone was probably very valuable to the tribe there, after all it was the only real piece left after they ATE the thylazine and tossed the other burnt up bones around and they had to have THAT bone back. Since Rose found it, then... they wanted it. Or... aliens landed and stole the jawbone from Rose. One of the two.

Back in 2001 my wife and I took the kids on a trip to Tasmania. While on the road between Strahan and Queenstown on the west coast, both my wife and I clearly saw a 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.

I don't know the details. But I can believe it if it's less than one sighting a year in very remote/random locations without much of a wild dingo population. Particularly if these animals are skittish of humans they would only be visible for moments and scatter at the slightest movement such as reaching for a camera/phone. Most would likely be at some distance and avoid human or dog scents that carry in the wind. The location he is referring to at the end is deep jungle that takes a month of travel to get to. Little sunlight or opportunity to charge electronics. Every pound you carry is precious. With no cell reception it would mostly be pointless for the native guides to carry one.

Lets hope persistents lead to this magnificent animal also being officially rediscovered.

[@CrusaderLegFoot]

I've got three more for ya. The two rarest seabirds, the Magenta and Bermuda petrels, were thought to be extinct. The Magenta petrel was thought to be extinct for over 100 years before its rediscovery in the 1970s. The Bermuda petrel is more impressive, thought to be extinct for over 300 years (since the 1600s) before being rediscovered in 1951. However, both pale in comparison to the coelacanth. The coelacanth (SEE-lə-kanth) was believed to be extinct since the Late Cretaceous, somewhere around 65 million years ago, during the same mass extinction that took out the dinosaurs, with the only evidence of it existing being fossils, the oldest known fossils being over 410 million years old. However, in 1938, it was discovered very much alive off the coast of South Africa. Due to how long they have been believed to be extinct, they are known as "living fossils". These fascinating creatures are a firm reminder that, if given the chance, life will find a way. If these creatures survived, then there is a very real chance that the Thylacine is still out there somewhere.

I'm adamant that my friends saw one when we were camping together last year in Tasmania - it was out the back of a popular and large NP but there are no walking tracks or people on this side of the park. We drove to the campsite (which was past the park border but very close) and they arrived 5 minutes behind us, asking if we knew of any medium sized animals in tassie (they were visiting from Germany and actually had no idea what a tassie tiger was or looked like). We said apart from some larger wallabies, maybe they saw a feral dog. They were adamant it wasn't a dog. Their description was - tan coloured animal with a striped back, stiff tail and, when I asked how it moved, they said it rain in a very stiff/awkward way. The animal crossed the road in front of them and into the long grass. When I showed them an old photo of a tiger, they said it was almost identical. I still think about it to this day, especially considering that they had no prior knowledge of what a tiger was when they saw it.

To be fair, many modern zoos are a far cry from what they were in the past. Not the same as living in the wild, of course, but a successful breeding program with adequate quality of life would be possible, just expensive.

@@moon-moth1 I’m aware, but it’s worth asking. You’re probably right though.

[@jasonpapai]

I think one of the issues about the TT still being alive is, for it to be so hard to find and the very small amount of alleged sightings reported you would have to assume that their numbers are very low, the problem with that is that for any animal species to survive for any length of time there needs to a minimum population to avoid inbreeding and genetic drift. It seems unlikely that an animal that was killed to the point of near extinction would be able to recover in any significant numbers without serious inbreeding. And one of the major side effects of inbreeding is eventually the animals become sterile and die out anyway

[@Lilpumpkin505]

Cheetahs recovered from only having 7 left. That was thousands of years ago but they still are effected by the inbreeding (their small head being part of it). They're doing fine now 😅

Trophies that can't be displayed aren't trophies. Nick didn't say anything because he didn't want resources misappropriated, if a ranger says he just saw two tigers, they would conduct a costly search looking for it. Nick is full of sheet, like Gallante. With the advent of trail cams, sightings of extinct animals like a tazzy tiger are akin to bigfoot sightings. Bigfoot and the tazzy tiger don't exist, millions of trail cams and zero sightings prove this. If Gallante really did discover a tiger in tas or PNG, it would condemn them to extinction. Gallante's show and alive or extinct shtick, are full of sheet.

In the early 1990s, during my travels in Western Australia, an intriguing incident unfolded. One morning, as I embarked on a journey from Pemberton to Margaret River, departing from Karri Lodge Resort, an unexpected encounter occurred. Just as I turned onto Stewart Road, a creature resembling a dog dashed across my path, its distinct stripes and pointed tail leaving an indelible impression. Without hesitation, I recognized it as a tiger, though it vanished into the dense scrub without a trace. Upon reaching Margaret River, I visited a wildlife park, now seemingly closed, drawn to its collection of local avian species and majestic eagles. Inside the administration-café building, I was drawn to a series of aged photographs adorning the walls. Among them, one image stood out: a Tasmanian tiger. Instantly, I connected the dots, realizing that the creature I had encountered bore a striking resemblance. My fixation on the photograph didn't go unnoticed, as a local ranger approached me, curious about my interest. I recounted the morning's sighting, and to my surprise, he met my story with a solemn acknowledgment. Apparently, the park had received numerous reports of similar sightings in the vicinity over the years, adding a layer of validation to my experience.

[@bullzdawguk]

For over 20 years I have lived in a rural part of the UK. My house is surrounded by fields with a small woodland facing my house directly. There is a healthy population of birds and since COVID grey squirrels have appeared in my garden. While they are an invasive species from America introduced in the 19th century, which displaced the native red squirrel, I still welcomed them and leave food out for them and the birds every day. Locally, there is one of only two populations of mountain hares. The other population is in Scotland. They were introduced locally for Victorian hunters and a healthy population has thrived here. The Romans originally introduced them, but they have adapted and naturalised to the UK after living here for so long. I sometimes take my dogs for a walk in the area where they live (Dovestone Reservoir). It's a beautiful valley and national park. On only two occasions it's been my privilege to see a hare. It's surprising how large they are and how fast they can move, which is why I only got a glimpse of them. It's as if your mind realises what you've just seen the second it disappears from your view. In the almost 40 years I have lived in the UK there are certain animals I've only seen once or twice. Hedgehogs are fairly common, right on my doorstep. Yet, the only time I've seen one, it was walking across the road in a fairly built up area, not near to where I live. Stoats and weasels literally live on my doorstep. But, I've yet to see a single one of them. Foxes are local and urban foxes thrive. In fact, there are more urban foxes than there are rural. However, you rarely see them. Perhaps you'll get a quick sight of one running across the road, late at night. Aside from that, you're lucky to study one for any length of time. A few years ago, I was blessed with a fox living at the bottom of my garden with 3 little ones. I would leave a bit of food out for them, just enough to give them snack. After all, I didn't want them to rely solely on me for food. Those little ones needed to look after themselves and learn how to hunt etc. from their mother. For the first and only time I had to opportunity to watch a fox with her three young interacting. It was fascinating to watch them interact and run about. What struck me instantly was how they moved, which was more like a cat than a canine, which I expected. In fact, it amazed me just how nimble they were. The young would be jumping and weaving around each other as they ran together. It was a rare thing to see and I made the most of watching them. Apart from that, I'm still waiting to see my first stoat or weasel. I know they're here, but they are elusive. If a creature can remain elusive where I live, which is rural, but not lacking a human population whatsoever, then a TT can live deep in the wilderness and remain completely unseen, I reckon.

Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted the reply before I could post it. This left me angry and I couldn't be bothered to post again, until now. lmao! Mainly, I wanted to add some updates that have occurred since posting. A few weeks ago, I was walking my dog down the lane towards my house when I witnessed something I never thought I'd see, literally on my doorstep. Deer. They ran along the footpath in front of my house, which borders the small woodland facing my home. I managed to have a glimpse of them as they ran across the road facing my home, then down the side of my house, which is an old Victorian staircase. My partner has seen them since. According to my neighbour, there are 5 of them, and we see them frequently, I'm pleased to say. As well, another neighbour has informed me there is a badger that's been seen near my home, which I find amazing, since I never expected badgers to live near my home. Rabbits have also been spotted in my valley, but I have yet to see them. These are totally unrelated to the hares I mention in my OP. So, it's yet another species thriving in my area, I am happy to say.

[@spiral-m]

I don't get it with weasels. I've seen so many in the UK, however stoats are difficult. Foxes easy if you know where to look. We have beavers here in Munich, they are quite widespread but they can be hard to see although I admit I haven't tried too hard ;)

[@bullzdawguk]

@@spiral-m Thanks for your comment. I had no idea there were beavers in Europe, I thought they were only in America. Since my last post, I mentioned that I heard there were badgers in the area. I can confirm that is true. I recently saw a badger, but it was laying dead on the side of the road, a couple of miles from my home. Most likely, a roadkill victim. Sad.

I have walked in the New Guinea mountains. And I can assure you it is serious wilderness. The forrest which is tropical, but not dissimilar to northern Australian forest is very very dense, very rugged, very wet, with Peaks and troughs, maybe 1000m from top to bottom. To travel 10km, on the map, may require 3 or 4 peaks, and 3 or 4 river crossings, with the climbing and descending associated with those peaks and troughs. The tribes of the area are timid, humble, but very very sturdy. The people are small, and strong, because they spend their days walking up and down hills. Many have malaria which to them is a annoyance, rather than a disease, but still they do not look healthy. For a westerner, its an intense spiritual experience to meet and communicate with these people. It changes your perspective on life because you realise the gift you have been given, and enjoy, by living in a western country. I saw very very few wild animals or domestic animals. Why, because they eat them, and they are no longer common. Their primary diet is root vegetables, because the earth is so fertile and everything grows, but in the mountains, they have no concept of farming or animal husbandry. If they find an animal, they kill it and eat it. I sincerely hope that you find a thylacine, and I would encourage a big expedition to find one in New Guinea. But I can tell you, in the mountains, you are a long way from home. There are no roads, no shops, no communications, no police, no one to come and save you. The only way in and out is walking, or helicopter. And you must, have a local guide, and you must get permission to cross the land, otherwise you will break their rules and that will result in big big trouble. If you want to see how life was, 1,000, 10,000, maybe 50,000 years ago, go to the mountains in New Guinea.

Exactly! That’s what I’m saying!! Animals aren’t dumb and Tasmanian tigers are apparently great at stalking! They could be there with them while they are out there, just stalking them.

[@rachelgallo7913]

@@Brian-bh2ix yes absolutely! And even though native to Tassie, there’s a possibility of them being the mainland I guess, and don’t forget how huge Australia is.

[@stel3680]

Yes, I saw one on a hunting trip when I was around 15 or 16. I am now 64. About 5 of us saw it walking towards a camping site. We didn't know what this was, because we had never seen anything like it. It was in a clearing and just walking slowly probably about 150 feet from us. I remember seeing the stripes and therefore didn't know what it was at the time. This sighting was in Kingston South East, in South Australia.

Mate, I'm 55, and I suggest that your story is bullshit. Absolute bullshit, to be more exact.

[@johnmead8437]

@@andrewstrongman305Not quite as good as 4 playing with a thylacine detector dog evidence that initiates a search on mainland Australia. If on the mainland the Doggers would have got one. And try keeping an Aussies mouth shut about something like that... 99% of sightings are transparent rubbish, but that other bit is intriguing, including the New Gunea angle. Just the evidence is "flakey", unlike the $5 million hint to sponsor reality TV for more 1/2ass entertainment expeditions.

[@rexpayne7836]

It's still out there waiting to be discovered. Great video and presentation. 🇦🇺🦘😊

[@Scott__H]

As with all of your presentations, very intriguing and entertaining. Well done, and good luck, Forrest.

[@RandomRants525]

Wow mate you just blew my mind! I hope they exist. I was thinking Far north Queensland and then you said it. WOW! And as soon as I realised you were about to say a new location I actually said PNG 0.5secs before you although that was easy guess after FNQ. I hope you find it bro! And what a fantastic vidio! I learnt so much. P.S What amazes me the most about really big thorough expeditions like what you do is that you don't find something unexpected like a YOWIE or BUNJIP? I actually do know why. We are very sneaky.👍✌️

[@downrodeo]

Literally had the same experience as you watching this.

[@RandomRants525]

@@downrodeo Are you also a Yowie? The 1st people of Australia escaped into the wilds of PNG to avoid being eaten by the Aboriginals so why not take a tiger or 2. They were Pygmys and they love rainforests as well. Apparently there was a tribe hiding out in Far north Queensland until the 50s they have since been almost breed out, but there is still the odd little man here and there. I met one in Weipa. He was one of the nicest, most interesting people I have ever met.

[@downrodeo]

@@RandomRants525No I am from Malaysia. Cool story tho.

[@RandomRants525]

@@downrodeo Do you have a big foot creature in Malaysia? What's it called? Plenty of forest there for things to hide in.

[@downrodeo]

@@RandomRants525 Hmmm no not that I know off. However on the Borneo side of things there are a lot of stories. I lived in Sabah for a few years as I built a mtb trail with my brother there and we found ancient graves and saw a lot of creatures. Best damned thing I saw was a golden pangolin and came face to face w a bloody pit viper and its babies of all things. I tripped. Saw her eyes. I backed away slowly and never looked back. We also came across a malayan coral snake under our carpets recently at a trail we are building here. There are other stories but it's those that is kinda hard to share without getting mocked.

[@KnitWitch]

Freaking fascinating! Good luck, I'll be waiting patiently :)

[@corbindallas3220]

As a climber you gave me so much information about who did that climb and where it is. There is only handful of people who do expositions like that to bag the peaks with the most prominence around the world.

[@cindyvillagechick514]

Just discovered you. What a brilliant presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed every second, full of information, to the point and fascinating. (Best of all no waffling) I’d LOVE to know the Thylacine has managed to remain alive. What amazing animals they are. I wish you every success in finding them. I thought your photo questionnaire was genius, as it gave lots of info.

Your doing great things Forest, I'm an Australian, love what your doing

[@Nebulon5000]

I am all for this. But I MUST ask... --How was a "scientist" lady able to find a jaw bone and get quality photos of it but did not think to take them back with her? -- Was she like...."hey these are cool, and I'll take photos, but these jaw bones are too heavy to carry out" or something? --I don't understand, because everyone in my family that does science would get a hard-on for a trace of a hair follicle of some ancient animal or whatever...but to leave a jawbone? --like.....what? But overall...I am a big supporter of this guy and his work...much love no doubt...go find it!!! (if it's there lol)

Big fan of your work, can you do a crowd funding for your expedition to PNG , am curious about Tasmanian tigers for 20 years as well

[@FoMoCo20]

I’ve followed you for years now, all your TV shows, Wild Times, you name it, I’ve watched it. Love your content, you seem to keep things real and if you think it’s out there then I absolutely think it’s out there. It would be absolutely amazing to find it before Colossal makes one. Can’t wait for the Mammoth though!!! Keep pushing, keep killing it and I’ll be along for the ride every step of the way. P.S. Ask Elon, he’d probably help you out. He’s into making history.
