Big whispers in the cryptid/extinct animals world are rumbling today with the hot rumours that images of a thylacine (a.k.a. Tasmanian tiger) family have been captured and sent to the Hobart Museum for verification.
A video posted by
Neil Waters, president of the Thylacine Awareness Group of Australia (T.A.G.O.A.) this week claims that photos of a male and female adult thylacine and a baby Tassie tiger are going to be released on March 1st.
(NOTE: An update to this story is at the end.)
One of the knocks against cryptozoology, UFOs and the paranormal world in general is a lack of solid evidence and the poor quality of videos and photographs – if there are any at all. While this doesn’t sway true believers, it makes it extremely difficult to get acceptance in the general public and coverage by the mainstream media. That may change soon in the case of the Tasmanian tiger or thylacine – the extinct yet long rumored to still exist striped marsupial from Tasmania. Neil Waters, founder and president of the Thylacine Awareness Group of Australia released a video of himself (watch it here) in Tasmania stating that he has trail camera photographs of a male, female and baby Joey thylacines – photographs that are currently being analyzed by experts, both in the field and independent. Yes, we all hate teasers, but wouldn’t you give a discovery like this a big buildup too?

A Tasmanian Tiger researcher has sparked something of a frenzy in the cryptozoological world with the bold claim that he has procured a photograph which will confirm that the said-to-be-extinct thylacine actually still roams the Earth.
