Anyone ever says cryptozoology never contributed anything to the greyface sciences, show them Isaac Schultz’s piece on the potential for extant Tasmanian tigers. A bunch of boffins trawled scores of thylacine sightings, compared, and ranked them in the hopes of determining if everyone’s favorite cryptid did indeed vanish in 1936 with provocative results. As for […]

For years cryptozoologists insisted the tasmanian tiger lingered in the outback, and Tim Binnall has good news and bad news. The Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, most likely didn’t snuff it in 1936 as mainstream science suggests but continued to haunt Australia as their numbers dwindled. Unfortunately the prospects of finding a living specimen is vanishingly […]

Thanks to the persistent trio of archival researchers at the Tasmanian Tiger Archives, the contemporary world can now glimpse a (long extinct) Thylacine cub in a newly restored 1930 film. So too a Goat-Like Antelope Presumed Extinct Has Been Rediscovered in India after straying out of the Great Himalayan National Park and right onto documentary […]

A research company in Australia has developed a test that can identify Thylacine DNA. That means anywhere an alleged Tasmanian Tiger has been spotted, there exists a possibility that a sample of genetic material might be left behind. This is not unlike the recent search for Nessie DNA in Loch Ness. Meanwhile Glasgow Boy did […]

How dangerous was the tasmanian tiger? Not very, based upon Douglass Rovinsky’s modeling of the beast’s musculature and Tim Binnall helps raise the signal on these findings which fortify the case that the tasmanian tiger got a bum rap from a bunch of dimbulb ockers. We’re proud of the Scots here at The Anomalist For […]

A 21-second clip of the last known living Thylacine has been digitized and released for public consumption by the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia. This is more than a typical video. For those readers for whom the Tasmanian Tiger is just a term and a collection of old photographic stills, this clip may well […]

There’s a new documentary on the way, one which will not only satisfy the Thylacine seekers out there, but will hopefully culminate with tangible proof of its continued existence. The head of the Thylacine Awareness Group of Australia has won a $50,000 grant to search for, and create a documentary about, any living thylacine, so […]

A hunter in Australia has made plans to prove the Tasmanian Tiger is not an extinct but rather critically endangered species, even if that requires he live in the bush for the next two years. That’s the sort of dedication we admire, but we hope he has a plan for dealing with the venomous snakes […]

These sightings, if true, would reverse the belief that the carnivore has gone extinct.

This is thrilling news, whether you’re a cryptid enthusiast or an environmental advocate. There have been eight (Eight!) credible sightings of what has been tentatively identified as a Thylacine. The very unique physical characteristics of this “extinct” species make it difficult to misidentify, but we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves. Meanwhile, writer John […]
